Yep... the last Chevy truck I had (bought it in October 1993 and sold it July of 2015) was built in Canada. My Tundra was built in San Antonio TX.

There's a video on YouTube of the Roadster version of this bike smoking a Suzuki Hayabusa from a 50 MPH and 80 MPH roll on. When the busa's speedo hit 150 Rocket was still quickly pulling away. Now... I'll never even get over 100 MPH on this thing. However, that massive instant torque could...

I've been progressively recuperating since my crash that I posted about at the beginning of October. The kid who hit me was driving the car his girlfriend drives, which was owned and insured by her mother. It took some doing to verify that the insurance was good because there was a misspelling...

In observance of the upcoming Christmas holidays and in keeping with "Dirty Boat Guy" history...

Not hardly. This boat is built of two layers of mahogany planking (inner layer, one layer of dolfinite, one layer of canvas, another layer of dolfinite, outer layer) in a double diagonal pattern and held together by thousands of copper rivets and bronze screws. :) As delivered these boats cost...

Rafting down the river like ol' Huck Finn... Down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, through Lake Borgne and the Rigolets to Lake Pontchartrain and into the Industrial Canal for Coast Guard testing. After that she'll go to the purpose built boathouse on Lake Pontchartrain where...

Speaking of those men... this is the first crew of the PT-305.

Link to story Workers began removing the huge glass wall of the National World War II Museum's Restoration Pavilion, the first step to take PT 305 back to the water. Project Manager Bruce Harris said there were no words to explain his excitement. Volunteers have been working on the boat...

Ummm... okay, I agree. What I'm wondering though is what does this have to do with my situation and the information found in this thread?

Well, its not exactly official, but I finally got the bike to the Triumph dealer. After they had the chance to access the damge they called and left q7W-8ztQ0aE"]this message: <--LINK When I called them back they said that they hadn't even gotten to the back of the bike yet when the cost of...

SITREP: Took the day off and decided to take tomorrow off as well. I'm getting around pretty well considering and I've kept the pain medication at bay for the most part. Some have voiced concern over the possibility of internal injury, so far that doesn't seem to be a problem. My back is feeling...

While riding home from a visit with my Mother-in_Law Sunday evening I got rear ended. I stopped behind a line of cars at a stop light. the light turned green but the lead car was turning so we were waiting. I checked my mirror, nothing, a few seconds later I checked again. A black Toyota was...

The actual restoration work is all but done... but there is something else we can do to help make this a reality. The National WWII Museum needs to raise some funds to put her back in the water. Now is your chance to be a part of the only fully restored WWII Torpedo Patrol Boat. If you are able...
