I really like Gable. (I love the hitch-hiking scene from "It Happened One Night") However, I'm gonna give it to Jimmy, because flying over Germany in a B-17 to bomb the living you-know-what out of the Nazis was MUY MUY MACHO!  |

Leo, you went riding in 118 degree heat? (Hope you had on one of those ice-pack vests!)  |

A few years ago, some dumbass at an anti helmet rally got in a 15 mph wreck while refusing to wear a helmet and died. Sometimes actions speak louder then words, he hit his head on the pavement I believe, he was saying helmets kill you in a wreck, oh the irony. I notice that more scooter riders are now wearing full face helmets, then regular full size bike riders, this says a lot, I see a lot of shorts and t shirts, but it's progress, I just have a personal issue with road rash, I hear it's not "manly"to wear a helmet espcialy a full face one, well it's real manly to be fed applesauce by a male nurse, while drooling on yourself, and wearing a diaper, in some nursing home, because you damaged your BRAIN because you wanted to be cool, the safety statistics on motorcycle deaths are completely screwed up, they lump all regular bikes, scooters, and even pedal mopeds and electric DUI bikes together. So all the idiots who got killed when their tiny half helmets flew off, plus all the Harley wrecks that were DUIs, and all the riders who died for refusing to wear safety gear, are lumped into the statistics of the good riders who never ride not geared up. Eval Knievel always wore a helmet and told riders never to get on their machines without one. (As for being "macho", lets see how many of these tough guys would jump the fountains at Caesar Palace?) |

In Florida the dumbasses can ride around with no helmet now, if they can show extra medical coverage, this is so when a texting soccer mom, or gray hair, knocks you off the bike, and they have to scrape your off the pavement, then life flight you to a trauma center, and hook you up to life support, while your brain swells irreversibly, the tax payers won't get hosed with the bill Unfortunately, some people's heads are harder than the plastic on a helmet (at least until they hit the ground) |

kev', that's is better, but Allan Sherman still wins. My vote remains Louis. spandi, I've no idea what "Shindig" and "Where the action is" means. I'm guessing the clip I found was from Ed Sullivan's show? >'Kat, laughing over the whole "furniture vs house style" debate Hi kat. They were 60s music TV shows (way before MTV) Shindig was hosted by Bobby Sherman and Where The Action Is had Paul Revere and the Raiders. There was also Hullaballoo at the same tine period, and they would have guest bands on like Herman's Hermits. |

"In a technological age "machismo" is now defined by the products you own. ( just look at pickup truck commericals... or what really sells Harley's?)"I believe that's largely true in the cities and suburbs, spandi. -In "Flyover Country", where there are no freeways, malls or day spas, I think machismo is more defined by hunting, fishing, survival and handyman skills. Ah. the old stuff. |

Louis had much better taste in furniture. That's true, but I have always been a big fan of "Tudor" styled houses. -You know we are talking about some really tough hombres when we decide their macho-ness based furniture styles and architecture. In a technological age "machismo" is now defined by the products you own. ( just look at pickup truck commericals... or what really sells Harley's?) |

Can you see about putting a smaller stator in, rather than the one you have? (that flywheel seems to be no place to be found) Or email the listing I gave and ask if it will fit the Buyang ATV.

..... And now with Irma wreaking havoc, look not only for gas, but the price of vehicles used or new (especially gas sippers) to go up as well. (How much ya want for that scooter?)

Great! The only thing with partszilla is the shipping time that seems to take forever. (I hope your luck is better.)
