helicopterjim R.I.P.

I am definitely interested. I hope hollywood does not have too great a grip on this movie. We need to know that others can do well too (although Rollie Free has definitely set a mark that will take a real man to meet). This is a very interesting story that I wish to see more of!!

It seems similar to Mistral parts but different than Stucchi as well.

I say we all meet at some pub and discuss this like real men do - over many pints!!!! (If you decide on Nummies Pub in Newry though count me out)

How about a transverse triple!!! Like the Harley V 3 custom somebody built (can't find pictures).

.......and then I put the MGS engine in my Griso!!! This could be so much fun!!

It is OK. Deep down I will never sell my MGS. I just like to lust for other bikes but I will always come home for satisfaction!!

Sorry.... I can't remember the model # but will check tomorrow.

Don't know what Martin thinks but the Cops here in BC are switching to the flip-up helmets. I think they are great. I am getting one for my wife for Christmas... a white one with a custom paint job by her daughters!!

I hope you are not in the military. We may have to call you Colonel Klinke... Actually we thank you very much for your input. You have given very detailed information.

So... the boss calls 2 pilots and 2 crew chiefs into the office and tells them they have to catch the train to somewhere and crew a helicopter for two weeks. The next day they go to the train station. The 2 crew chiefs each buy tickets but the pilots only buy one. The crew chiefs ask what for but they say just wait! They all get on the train and off it goes. Later the conductor comes along and askes for tickets. The pilots run to the toilet and hide. When the conductor knocks on the door for tickets the one fellow opens the door a bit and hands out a ticket. The crewchiefs see this and nod with understanding! We can do this they say. Two weeks later they are due to come home. The pilots and crew chiefs go to the train station to buy tickets home. The crew chiefs smilingly go up to the counter and buy one ticket. They look back at the pilots and see they do not buy any tickets. They do not understand!! They board the train an off they go. Eventually the conductor comes to the car they are in and calls out "Tickets". The two crew chiefs smugly go off to the toilet. Shortly after one of the pilots goes up to the toilet and knocks on the door saying "Tickets".

I have been reading some Guzzi history and now I find this on eBay. This bike is so amazing and I would trade every bike I have just to buy it. I'll try and dig up some history and specs tomorrow but WOW....what a bike!! MOTO GUZZI 250 TT 1927

Thanks and well done to both you and Big J. I was hoping for more from Ryan and Steve but.......

OK. Felix42o! Do you wheelie? Felix42o probably knows that helicopter pilots have their own version of "I learned about flying from that"!! The helicopter pilot version starts with the less experienced pilot starting a story with "No s%@t, there I was......" and the more experienced pilot casually replies with "That's f%@&%g nuthin! I remember when....".

Wow! This is going to be a tough one. Big J was first by about 12 hours and is close to being 100% right. Mike Wilson is definitely 100% right (he may have written the article where I got my information it is that close). I am going to have to think about this one for a bit.

Don't lose any sleep worrying over that. We all know better!!

Isn't 139.6 the measured top speed of a V11 with the race kit? I believe the magazine RacerX works for tested one to that speed. I have run mine out and the light was on.

But if time stops then that means the end of all hunanity!!!! Don't do it, Jaap! Don't do it!! We shall all cease to exist!

HEY RICK!!!!!!!! WOT??......OHHH!!!

Interesting logo on the jacket of the gentleman on the right.

That's the beauty of this thread. It is timeless!!

Latin Dictionary and Grammar Aid salvia salveo : to be well, be in good health. salvus : safe, sound. divinorum divinatio : prediction, divination divinitus : divine influence, admirably, nobly, by inspiration. divinus : divine, sacred. Does this describe what it is like to get high?

Bring it out to Chilliwack and I'll get my friend Richie to do it. He is great at disassembling and assembling forks!!
