Thank You !
Oddly enough , I've known since I was a small child that someday this one
would be mine . Dad titled it the same year I was born , seems kinda like
kismet or something .
One of my earliest memories was two old flattie 45's out behind Grandpa's
house on the lawn . I can recall Dad setting me into the seat of one , it
was idling that really low ker--thump ----ker--thump idle .
I felt it in my bones .... and it's still there .

Heh.

There's no substitute for that.

I'll add my best wishes for a successful resurrection as well.

Oh, look, some nameless turd-world country denizen is trying to play
catch-up, but can't even do that.

 

They have....the book will be out this Spring!!!

 

No, that was your 'war', on our tiny island, which almost caused Thatcher
and Reagan to fall out of love with each other. And how ridiculous a
campaign it was. TOG means the Falklands, the overture to which was
distinguished by one of Alexander Haig's many least finest hours.
Logistically, the Falklands was an astonishing piece of planning and
execution in terms of speed and distance. Granted it shouldn't have
happened, but it did and a direct consequence was the restoration of
democracy to Argentina in a bloodless way that Bush can only dream of.

 

"I quit while I was a head"

 

Didn't actually hit anything, though....

Didn't the crew leave the watertight doors open, or something daft?

I prefer Rosbif's assessment - you want regime change and restoration of
democracy? That was the way to do it.

 

That is *great*. I'd like to think my boy (grown up with bikes, been
riding pillion since he was four or five, and takes to the road on his
first bike in a few days' time) would inherit one or two of my old
snotters.....^h^h^h^h nice old bikes.

I can see why you want to get it back up and running. Best of luck. And
when you do - stick a pic up and let us know the url, right?

In fact, it would be nice to see what it looks like now.

 

Thanks for that. I used to have a pitch at a regular autojumble
(swapmeet, you'd call it) next door to a Harley spares guy. Ian
Cottrell's his name. He comes from the SW of England, where a lot of the
Yanks were billetted 1942-45, and he said it was *amazing* how many NOS
spares still turn up down there for the old WLA45s.

Seems they had depots of the stuff, and not all of it went over to
France for D-Day, and they just left it lying around because it was too
much hassle to ship it back to the US after the war.

The old brass tyre pumps apparently crop up in car boot sales, in that
neck of the woods, all the time.

 

Right.

I'll find a tuit.

 

Ah, I undestand ...

 

I think they got one bomb on the runway at Stanley. However, it made the
Argentines realise that the British could as easily drop a few on downtown
BA, so they pulled all their jets that were based at Stanley to defend the
mainland.

Nope. One torpedo practically took the bow off the ship, but the watertight
doors and bulkheads held. The second went into the aft machine room and
took out the electrical system, so the ship could neither run the pumps nor
send out distress calls to the escorts. The second hit killed a couple of
hundred crew, because it also took out crew messes above the machine room.

Agreed. Iraq is like all the car crashes ever, happening in slow motion
simultaneously.

 

You are talking about this FJR aren't you :
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelhome/501/0/home.aspx

Yamaha US seem to view it as a tourer (with sport in front of it).

An FJR would be absolutely perfect for the journey described.


I have, and I must say that in terms of my (British/European) view of the
categories bikes 'fit' into, Harley only do one type of bike -the cruiser
type (The V-Rod, whilst sporty'ish, is still a cruiser to me) and Buells -
which whilst intersting, aren't something I'd buy. They also pissed me off
royally with their service, so another reason not to consider one.

Er Ginge, you know you're talking to an American yes? I don't think the
concept of a 125 range, let alone learner legal is going to mean much

 

If they want to compete on a global scale they need to take those kinds
of things seriously.

 

The frame's in one corner , the wheels are behind the lathe , and (most of)
the motor's up on a shelf ... it's scattered all over the 8X12 shed I use
for a shop , wherever there's a nook to stash a part .
