    (N/A) Adventure Sport motorcycle

    I picked up a VTX 1800 with 15000 miles for $3500 last July. So much bike for the money! Love it! Came with lots of great accessories; Cobra pipes, power comander, Hondaline bags and windshield, Mustang seats and sissy bar. Removed a bunch of fluff for the solo look!

    Shoulder harness kits

    Does the strap go across your chest to the side of the fuselage, or is it dual straps going right above you, like in the pic? In my Comanche it's a single strap running across my torso to the side of the fuselage. I can definitely see the issue on the harness pictured.

    Shoulder harness kits

    My Comanche is equipped with a manual shoulder harness kit from Lenny Spall who then sold his STC to Alpha Aviation I believe. http://www.alphaaviation.com/PA2832.html My shoulder strap is equipped with an easy and quick adjuster that allows for relaxing the pressure from the shoulder strap by...

    Harrison Ford doin' some bush landings

    I figured the sight picture he was experiencing looked good to him, obviously. I assume he was used to bringing his helicopter in on this parallel taxiway. Now today, I hear the radio work and he is announcing himself as a helicopter and then correcting himself... Interesting.

    Music Videos

    Audiophiles . . .

    I am a bit of a collector. I love the quality old "stuff", Phase Linear, Carver, etc. I enjoy spinning some vinyl and sipping on something good to drink. I have multiple stereo systems throughout the house (and luckily a understanding wife). The "bassement" is the dedicated listening area! :0) I...

    Lets Talk Oil consumption

    My original auto shop teacher from high school told our class about a GM service bulletin that helped reseat the rings when they went to chrome-moly rings and customers couldn't get them to seat. It called out Bonami by name in the bulletin. This was in the late 80's and he had taught for many...

    How often do you visit your airplane?

    I try to get up to the hangar at least once a week, but if I skip it, for sure the next week. Someone's got to put the empyty beer cans in the recycle! Now how did they get empty? Thats the real question... I have a couple of 50cc Honda Sprees and a Porsche 914 taking up some hangar space as...

    Stinson 108 vs Piper Pacer PA-20

    I have a collection of pilot reviews for each of those aircraft in three ring binders my dad put together thirty plus years ago. He loved both of them, but I don't think he ever flew in one. He ended up buying the Comanche. I love the looks of the Stinson, but a 180 h.p. Pacer would be super fun!

    Bob Hoover???

    I got a chance to shake his hand as a youngster, and help him push his yellow P-51 around at an early 80's airshow @ KPAE. A memory I will always cherish. What a Legengd! R.I.P. Mr. Hoover
