Amazing the things that we take for granted and don't even bother to consider in our everyday life. I remember as a child gazing up at aircraft flying from the nearby airport. Last summer I was walking to the library and heard an old sound that awakened a feeling I had not heard in some time- the drone of four…

Yes, depending on your needs and desires. Choice is good, and the profits from the "Icing" helps to lower the cost of base models as well.

Great point about "Decontenting," I can think of quite a few instances of this in the past.

Just for fun stand at the entrance to a Harley dealership and try to spread this idea to any prospects entering the optionroom, I mean show room. LOL

Great advice. Used to be getting a car with "All the goodies" got you a car with a bigger engine, more capable suspension and better wheels and tires. Many of the "Goodies" now are just gilding the lilly and add little true functionality to the car. In some cars I actually appreciate a BASE car more because this is…

And now?

Ouch! And very sad.

Thank you Paul for posting this story and the video !! I had never heard of this trust and their mission to display mechanical art as it functions. As a motorhead I appreciate that deeply whether wings or wheels. BTW the "Classical" music at the five minute mark is called the "Sabre dance" by Khachaturian-

To recognize possibilities is good, to explore what might have happened. Right now this is a deep dark secret thing, but in time the truth will come out. In time all truth does.

One more story on this issue of Germany and the bomb-

And now for something outside the box of conventional thinking- Germany may have indeed had the bomb.

What is past is prologue-

No sir, Doug.

Would it not be cool to see Chevy bring back the Caprice Wagon? New LT-1 with cylinder deactivation and RWD in a package weighing roughly 4300lbs? Bet they could see quite a few to folks who would shop that over a damned SUV, CUV, xyz, etc.

The Scrambler is a really interesting Italian take on the Universal Japanese style motorcycle that is really stunning in my view. Very nice write up Travis, answers most of the questions I had regarding the bike. Very much looking forward to checking this bike out.

This is awesome. I havc seen this aircraft at the USAF museum and wondered how the flight profile achieved the climb records. I sure will recommend they have a small TV at least playing this video to really appreciate what this aircraft did. A truly great aircraft indeed. This video really brings the accomplishments…

Your insights and intelligent assessment of this program has been pretty even handed and fair in my humble opinion. An objective analysis of the cost benefit of the whole F-35 program is pretty sobering imho. Thanks for doing the hard work of keeping us informed. Your insights have provided me with some material for…

Wow, this sounds very much like a fundamental design flaw to me, one that is going to be very expensive to fix long term. Have we reached the level of diminishing returns with conventional winged aircraft technology? This HAD to be a fundamentally designed in flaw, since it is well known that fuel sitting in tankers…

I may be way off, but it looks to me like the Cycleworld photos taken when the ZX14R was a cover story.
