.............I was driving home when a car started tailgating me. Usually it's a SUV that does this sort of thing but today it was an Acura coupe that looked brand new(?). It probably had directional control I'm guessing. Anyway, when I started exiting onto one of those 270 degree off ramps...

The VW Valdez Shoddily built 1834, product of a 'premier' engine-builder (according to the defunct VWT). Dual carbs, shiny aluminum valve covers, -009, trick muffler, lotsa junk parts that don't fit. And leaks. Not a little, a lot, as in Exxon Valdez. Park it for a week and fully HALF its oil...

The "break in" process for an air cooled engine has any many explanations as there are actual air cooled engines. <g> I am always listening for those who have actually done it, and succeeded, so if you have, I would like to hear from you. A brief synopsis: Just did a 'top end' rebuild of a Type IV...

10 years. I know they used to award a badge if your engine made it to 100,000 km... 60,000 miles. and who can afford re-building from the pan up? -- when you believe the only tool you have is a hammer. problems tend to look like nails.

I just got back from the Pedmont show in Greensboro NC and kelly brown( met wiz )was showing his dumb a$$ about 2 min after I was there. The way he acts you can tell he suffers from a self-esteem problem. So how does it go down , Kathy Jacobes (sorry you had to get in the middle) tells me to...

I'm looking to take my 72 rear diagonal arm off. With the tranny out, the frame is almost bare so taking this piece off gives me a good chance to get rid of all the rust and re-paint it all. That 17" allen bolt is to be "peened" according to Bentley.. What does this mean, exactly? I noticed it has...

Hi all. My ISP has a 'As Is' News service, and all the groups I subsribe to have been dead for months, I thought Usenett was simply dying off.. Well, today I stumbled across an old site listing a freebee News server: 'Freenews.Netfront.Net(temporary)' It seems to work like a charm..

I seem to be getting a lot of friction on an online motorycle forum for posting my personal opinions on the topic of "people who are not handicapped parking in handicapped spots." I seemed to get a lot of negative feedback for my posts to the Jeep newsgroup a while back, too, and also to the...
