I was a Huey mechanic back in ‘78-’81 stationed in Germany. There was a Chinook company stationed nearby. Those things have 5 transmissions, the crewchiefs would say that if it wasn’t leaking hydraulic fluid, it was empty.

that might be a worthwhile topic to discuss here on Lanesplitter:

Early model GoPro.

My first couple of years out of the Army, I worked the parts counter at a Kawasaki dealer, just abou the time when they introduced the Ninja 900. It was sad to see these bikes leave the store underneath some dude who thought he was Kenny Roberts or Eddie Lawson, only to see it come back to the shop a couple of weeks…

Not to be “that” guy, but it’s “nudge, nudge”. Notch is what you carve into your headboard after.... well you know.

So do my armpits, should I wash my hands every time I scratch my pits?

I have USAA also, in fact, we’ve put almost everything on our USAA insurance. Cars, motorcycle, house, life, even my camera gear. Been a member for almost 30 years now, and I’ve NEVER had a problem with a claim.

How can you tell me this has no style.

I’ve always wondered how that worked, didn’t realize that you had to buy stuff with your own monies and then return the items later. You’re right, what a hassle.

I give him a 10 for the dismount.

I wonder what would happen if it was dragged at speed.

I once worked in a factory where they made disposable diapers. They would occasionally put the laziest guy on the most difficult part of the line and eventually he would figure out a more efficient way of working that section.

Last Ride: Kawasaki 1989 Concourse 1000, rode daily in So. Cal. Moved to SE Michigan in 1991, rode off and on for a couple of years, then sold it because I felt guilty about not riding it enough.

God, I miss those tube socks.

I skydived for about ten years and one of the tricks I used to do was stick a finger in ONE of my ears. A lot of times the ride to altitude would get kinda bumpy and if I felt some nausea coming on I’d stick a finger in only one of my ears and that would stop it. I looked like a dork, sitting there with my finger in…

...plucking his mono-brow?

Exactly, I carry a small Swiss Army Classic 2 1/4. Every day. And if I misplace it, I give myself a day to find it before I have to get another one. I’ve even taken to keeping a new one in my sock drawer in case I can’t find the old one. The next time I’m at the camping store, I get another one to replace the one I…

This has got to be from a commercial somewhere, any one know?

I have a hard time believing that the aircraft flew for 25 minutes without any thrust from the engines. You’re telling me that this was basically a glider for a half hour. Video is locked out where I work, is there something in the video that explains this? Am I missing something here?
