Busy church schedule means Goldwing is still in storage even after fresh gas and battery charge, test start. 3 foot of bits and pieces between back wheel and door is another minor problem- but I"m planning to have it out July 4th. I"ve been riding since 1970 fairly steady with couple year break for radiation treatment- can"t lift cycle, etc for awhile after Tomotherapy- but had Wing out 3 years back. Sold off most of collection couple years ago- that was more loss of storage space than any desire to sell old R50/2 ,R69/2, Yama 400 thumper,BSA chopper, Suzi T500 I"d bought new in 1968. I"ve always been riding under idea that cars, trucks and fat pedestrians are out to kill me- survived holiday traffic 1971 cutoff with a few broken bones, stitchs in head and rode R69 again after plaster came off shoulder so I could reach throttle. Have been hit while in car, seen others after car accidents when helping tow truck clear scene as well as cycle crash. Traffic is dangerous, paranoia is a survival mechanism on 2 wheels and helps a lot with 4. Some people walking in mall were killed by runaway car last year, last month was stolen car driver smashing through house wall into bedroom- motorcycle riding is on the list of dangers all around, but staying in bed rest of life isn"t much of a life- and you can still get hit by falling plane or truck leaving road. Motorcycle accident - "didn"t see him" rate could be improved by allowing 10,000 motorcyclists the opportunity to have 15 pounds of C4 in shape charged frontword and impact detonator wired into cycle- car hits cycle and car taken out also, 10 incidents and cycles WILL be given right of way like Saigon 1970 after the second bicycle, scooter bomb knockdown and blowup before they could be parked outside bar. One army truck and one fancy politicians car and passengers destroyed with the terrorists mobile bomb, lots of publicity and cyclists started playing chicken with embassy limosines who stopped quick or swerved to avoid possible scooter, bicycle bomber. Just a thought before getting my morning coffee. RN

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
