Dragline

I see Mongoose there. But that car is rather boring graphically speaking.

I plan on skating until I cannot. It keeps me in relatively good shape and feeds that young guy in my brain who never really left. I tend to think I am still 20 until something happens or something is said, then the rather sad realization that I am not comes crashing in. Thinking young and staying active seem key to my also looking younger than I am. Either that or I am completely deluded.

You are correct, the wheels are 70mm 78a hardness. In other words they are big and rather soft in comparison to modern wheel sets. They roll over most obstacles rather easily. Larger cracks and such are handled by angling attack. These wheels are fast and grippy in direct contrast to park or street type riding wheels. Those are meant to slide with only minimal grip, while these are meant to bite when a side load is brought to bear. They get their speed by rolling over the surface and giving in to it thereby attaining speed which seems counterintuitive. I also have very expensive bearing made by SKF and precision ground 8mm titanium axles which gives positive bearing and wheel placement. Aiding in the speed/traction formula. The other factors are the trucks which are wedged.

Those are both beautiful. Very well done.

Electric and gas powered bikes are everywhere here. They flaunt lights, signs and decorum. Wheelies abound as they travel in packs. At 61 I'm no spring chicken, yet I can skate as well as anyone. I skated pro for 12 years and got my first skateboard in 1974. I am competent. A few days ago and blew through a pack of em, skating through and around them. And with speed They all stopped and were baffled as this greying man flew past em and around traffic that was stopped. I then took a corner and was gone. I was off to get my order and no one stands between me and a burrito made by No Problemo. Absolutely fantastic. I find them annoying in the extreme. I follow traffic laws on my board. If I don't, I can die. Whether it's my fault or another's, dead is dead. So I skate with my head on a swivel. But these kids have no regard for anything. Apparently they are going to live forever. Some of em.... This is my Turner Summer Ski outside No Problemo. It's small, highly maneuverable, and costs more than any several E-Bikes. I call her Red Rocket.

2 1/2 ton floor jack was dropped on my left big toe today. Like dropping a brick on a tomato. It sorta split and bled. Just wanted to share...

I need one for my Big Jim Dunn Cuda. But it's darn cool as is. Great color choice.

Pretty killer for a rush job.

A classic. Well done.

None more black as Spinal Tap has said. Fantastic if a bit monochromatic

I need these... I have owned every H-D engine except a Flathead and Knuckle. And these look great. Thanks for posting this.

What scale Pat? Came out great BTW.

Looks like it's ready to do battle. Well played Sir.

WOW is that choice! Looks like an old Mass state police prowler with that color.

My fave Bird of all time. That color is poyfect... Well done Sir...

Now that is Tight! I need that kit...

Steve, you are killing me....

For my part they will need their own catagory clearly. The advantages are far too obvious. I've been looking at offerings that have complete fuel systems and separate pieces for nearly every item. The Renaissance has begun.

Great color choices. Very well built brother.

Brilliant Lyle, just brilliant!

Gorgeous!

Holy Schnikies!

Brilliant!

Geez... It looks 1:1 to me

A Triumph!
