I married one, truth....

I'll be watching. I have one 5 mins from work and I'll spend a lunch there every week or so.

Bet it understeers a bit..

I enjoyed last nights episode. A few small things but overall was great.

Looks great. Might wanna tweak that alternator pulley a tad.

I have mine in primer tonight. I think I can do it as is. I'll post progress here.

Wow!

OK, I see it now. Almost time to watch. 10 minutes of.

The trouble is Women have problems with spatial awareness. They drive up your bumper on the highway, at least they do me. I never brake check as that would give them a red light warning. I usually let off the accelerator and let them see they are about to drive up my tailpipe. Does that deter them? Heck no! I've been pushed into intersections by women hitting my tire on my bike. Parking? Spots where a school bus could park in are barely enough for a Hyundai. This will be harsh this next bit.... When I lived in Baltimore there was a Filipino chick next door. She had a Hybrid something or other. I watched her on numerous occasions take as long as 10 minutes to put that thing in a space made for two sixties station wagons. That thing unnerved me the way it's electric motor took over and had that whirring sound as she TRIED to park it. So I got Asian and Woman in the same person on that one. The only good thing was she was a little loosey goosey and I plied her with wine a few times. But that's another story.....

BIG fan here. I didn't catch any eggs. Please enlighten me sir.

Where are these for 30.00? Modelroundup wants nearly 50.00.....

Not good about the decal issue. So if I understand it as you're saying the decals didn't have a white layer? Hope mine comes in correct. I want to get cracking on it right away. I have Game Colors just waiting to make that Punk look rad. I'm going to Alclad the pinball machine legs and add a lot of details. We'll see about the decals.

If you saw Norm's collection you'd need to sit down to catch your breath.

I just ordered one. It looks fantastic.

Brilliant stuff.

I was looking forward to this since I got to drive and work on quite a few. I won't be buying one...

Very cool addition indeed. I am waiting for some of the more involved pieces to bid on. I suggest you put Amy as a favorite seller like I did. Saves having to search around.

Idiot indeed.

Oil pressure sender crapped out. Should be an easy fix. Just off the top of my head.

I have ridden through many a helmet free state and I have always kept mine on. I only wear a small skullcap but it is DOT approved and I wear it at all times. I remember many rides into Rhode Island where everyone would pull over and take their helmets off. I always thought they were nuts. I do ride my skateboard without a helmet. And i paid for it once some years ago. I do not wear one still, but it is always in the back of my mind.

I wish you luck Bill, I truly do. A small car like that is always fun to drive, but is in the same catagory as a bike. A couple of fenders is really the only difference. Your story is eerily similar to mine. I wonder how many stories there are out there that have the same tone. My guess is way too many.

I have NO idea how anyone could miss that monster. Those pipes look LOUD as heck as well. I have no wish to be someones mistake. I've almost been killed several times with one incident causing me weeks in the hospital and many broken bones and worse. My bike is for sale as we speak. I've been riding since I was 17. In all that time I've been. HIT, dragged, run off the road, messed with, yelled at. I've had, bottles thrown at me. I was once pushed into an intersection by a woman and her Ford Escort's bumper. Let's see. Cut-off, tailgated, sideswiped....... The list goes on. The only bike I have had any luck on was my old Knuckle. It was slow and loud and I think people actually felt bad for me when I rode it. But that was stolen and then found in a field. How the thief figured it out is anyone's guess. It was a kick only tank shift with bad brakes that rattled over 50. Starting that bike was an event. I loved it but even hard core guys used to shake their heads at it. After it lost oil pressure i parked it under the porch for 10 years. When I sold it, it fired up with good gas and the guy put it on a trailer never to be seen again. I miss that bike.

Three weeks ago I decided to take my bike to work. I have to go over a large bridge to get there. Half way over the bridge sees me in the center lane. This woman in the right lane starts edging into my lane. I look over and all I can see is PHONE. No part of her face is visible. I hit my pathetic horn, nothing. I pull the clutch lever and let it roar!, nothing. The guy in the left lane see my predicament and backs off so i can move over. I do, then gun it and get in front of the woman in the large SUV [T-Blazer or something]. I hit the brakes and check her. She comes right up on me and blows her horn. I flip her off and pull over so I can start yelling my head off. She speeds away cutting off three cars in the process. I will NOT be taking my bike to work again. Not sure how she can miss me on the bike. It's bright, shiny and has a large man riding it with loud pipes. I guess the phone is far more important.

THOSE are off the HOOK nice! Ordering soon.

My family is very supportive. My father was particularly. He gave me my first, Model, Guitar, Skateboard. All things which is do to this day. I played in a working band for 15 years. I skated both Pro and Am since 1973, and the models are things he just loves so much. With his Mancave overflowing with my builds it's safe to say he enjoys them. The rest of my family all have examples of my work and show them off with pride. How could I ask for more than that? I lost my Dad last Saturday and I am going to a Memorial I organized this very morning. Getting my builds back will be bittersweet. But knowing how he adored them is solace enough.
