Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #261 I'd really like a CB1100 as a 2nd bike.

Here are photos of the "Roto Hack" that I saw today at Alice's restaurant. It used to have a turbocharged Mazda rotary engine, but it has been modified by the owner Bob Pelican over the years, so I am not sure which engine it is using now. As I recall the BMW K100 engine was hollowed out and is being used as a fuel tank. A very interesting and unusual build.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #273 Pretty neat. The heads peaking out of this RT appear to be R1100 heads.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #275Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #273 It is possible that the owner has modified the bike again and replaced the K100 engine with a boxer. He seem to like to constantly make changes to the setup. I first saw the hack about 20 years ago and what I said about the bike was what I was told then. However, Bob likes to constantly modify the sidecar rig. It is kind of a hobby for him.

Yesterday I saw this Lamborghini STO car parked at Alice's Restaurant. Although there are always a lot of expensive Italian sport cars parked there, this is the first Lamborghini that I have seen in some time. And the first STO I have ever seen. It sure is a lot of car to carry around just too people. That thing is huge.

Being the Holiday, I would help the driver load the tree. Heck, I would even cut it down, if needed Old Forum Orphan |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #279 Nice story...and memory. I'd bet we all have some of our own as well...funny how childhood memories are some of the best. |

It seems as if you need to shop around when buying Christmas trees this year. My daughter just bought a very full 8'-tall Christmas tree for $90 by looking around at local lots. She said that some places were selling a similar tree for twice as much.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #279 Debbie said you would go out to the timber on their farm and cut a Christmas tree. She would drag it out to the road, walk home and get her dad to haul it back with the truck and then he would take credit for getting the tree  He only took credit to watch her get riled.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #281 December 24. I'm telling you. At some point, between the evening of December 24 and the very early morning of Christmas Day............A cut tree becomes brush. Do you want to pay for a Christmas Tree or help a guy haul away his brush?
