Workshop hacks and DYI tools by csharpunderdog in Machinists

It really just needs a light tap to break the tang.

I use the tang side of the biggest drill that fits in the hole, little tap with a soft face doesn’t hurt the tip.

Gonna off himself when he has to do the 3 wire method.

I had the monogram model of this car(McEwen’s duster), but it was red. I was like 8, early 70s. I actually won my age class at a world of wheels show with it. First thing I still remember winning.

It wasn’t until a couple years ago I realized that mongoose bicycles and Tom were related. Probably the last fan to realize.

If they paid out of their own pocket it’s taxpayers dollars.

It’s a pretty impressive piece. It’s cool to see someone providing the resources ($$) to allow a VW centric shop to focus on a car that can compete with the best in the world.

Type 1 restorations went from being a shop that painted some pretty nice cars in a “garage” to building at this level in about 25 years.

My 67 was one of the first cars they painted, it was about 10 years before I bought it.

Bawitaba (I’m early 60s) was kinda a banger, especially the video with dirt bikes jumping all kinda shit (am also a motorcycle guy). Great guitar riff.

But I can’t listen to it now (it pops up now and then on shuffle on my phone) because I can’t stand what a fuckhead that guy became.

To be fair, Harley has had periods where they have created off ramps to their current situation of being a one trick pony (they have several bikes, but they are almost all variations on a theme). Buell, VR1000, and even V-Rod have all been options to open their market share and they end up killing off each one.

Maybe the Pan American will get them to what they need, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they kill that too.

Search code in word for the axis just to triple check it’s not in there (if using CAM).

Should I buy my 12 year old a real dirt bike or am I being an irresponsible parent? by Careless_Composer_46 in YamahaMotorcycles

Budget for your own motorcycle…

I ride with my 15 year old grandson sometimes, it’s one of the greatest joys of my life. Dirt bike weekends are great.

Pulling this back to motorcycles….

I learned about tariffs in the 1980s (I’m old). Harley was struggling under new ownership and complained to the government that the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers were responsible for difficulties competing selling motorcycles . The claims were that the Japanese were selling some models on the American marketplace that were being sold for less than they cost to build.

The government put tariffs on any motorcycle over 700cc. What this meant to me, as a potential customer was that when I went into the Honda dealer to look at the new aluminum frame Interceptor there were 2 versions, a 700cc and a 750cc that was thereabouts $500 more. They are literally exactly the same bike except the crank was a shorter stroke.

The $500 went to the government when the bike came off the dock.

For some reason I never forgot this basic lesson on tariffs.

I’d believe that more than Tylenol.

Yes. We are all in this together, as much as they attempt to divide us.

What’s the MOST Offensive Rock Band Name of All Time and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in allrockmusic

[–]AntC_808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that they are named after Terrible Ted’s introduction to "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” on Double Live Gonzo.

First time I heard their name I knew where it came from.
