Big bright pictures and all.

Interesting. I comment that it was on ABC in Chicago for a
number of hours and you respond with 2 hours of highlights. DISNEY
sanitized highlights.


Referring to a post of this past week, I understand why so many
people come to this group, participate for a while, and then leave.


Your protestations notwithstanding, the show WAS available widely
throughout this country through multiple sources, whether
domestically originated or not, it WAS widely available. Perhaps not
on SW. But then the pictures on SW are so poor these days.

One colleague told me he found it on PBS, though. No Disney there.

That's all just lovely. I love you too.

AOL had 5 or 6 simultaneous streams available. CSPAN style, no
commentary. 320 Kb second, full screen zoomable.

It's still playing replays. Free of charge. Right now.

Then we agree, it was/is widely available, and there are no
complaints.

Many years ago, I trained Bees to do just that. They were conditioned to sting
the male appendage whenever it was made available for urination. I had visions
of great wealth being made with this 'organic' enlargement/enhancement process.

Well, somehow, unbeknownst to me, a strain of African killer bees made it into
my trained hive. During the last stage of testing before the public offerings
were to be made, disaster struck. I proceeded through the motions of aiming the
research object and the bees came.

It's impossible to describe the horror. On recovering consciousness, I found I
was so swollen I couldn't pull my pants up or go through a doorway sideways. I
had to cover my deformity until all the brand new groupies disappeared.

It took the better part of a fortnight, but they drifted off. The grapevine has
it they migrated over the Ace's house. They heard he's a huge one ALL the time
and not just above the shoulders.

I was thinking of the 750/5 (or was it/2?). I've been toying with an an idea of
a hybrid using a VW motor. I just picked up a four speed transmission on eBay
to go with the assorted bits and pieces I already have. An adapter plate would
have to be made once I get the VW crankcases and crankshaft together.


Something along the lines of:

1600 cc should give lots of torque.

Could suck worse.


Still riding the '90 K-LT, sold most everything else about 5
months ago, and picked up a '72 R60/5. Needs some attention, but
then so do I.

That's a whole lot of fabricating going on.

Have you ridden the Rocket III by Triumph? 2300cc's, 6
cylinders. You wanna talk about torque? And smooth as barber shaved
glass. Faster and quieter than my BMW. It's not a light bike, but
handles like a bike half it's weight. I got one from Marty in South
Heights for an afternoon. Damn! I had a Ferrari that didn't pull
that hard.

But a VW 1600 seems like more weight than you'd need in a frame
that small. Although the low C/M would make for more nimble handling
than you'd expect, stopping would be a bit of a challenge.



But the mandatory newsgroup question would have to be, what kind
of radio you going to put on it?

I pulled the factory radio on mine, last year, and dropped my
Becker Mexico in the hole. Light preamp for the whip and I was
listening to shortwave on the road.

The factory radio is back in the hole,though. I'm using the
Becker in my mini van.

I hope things work out well and not suck at all.

Yes. Things are always easier when not actually doing the work yet.

Being in Canada, we only get the *three* cylinder 2300. I've seen it, but found
it repulsive, if not downright ugly. Suzuki's Madura of a few years ago stunk
too. I I were to get a new bike today, it would be a plain Ducati 1000s Monster.
Unfortunate name, but wonderful bike.

I don't need as much in the way of brakes as I did twenty or thirty years ago g

I wander around the wreckers two or three times a year, checking out the old
German cars for anything with a shortwave banded radio. No luck yet. They said
they'd keep their eyes open for me. A nice Blaupunk would be a welcome addition.
