    Free dualsport/off road DOT approved helmet. TMS brand. I think I've worn it twice in 3 years, someone gave it to me before that. Comes with goggles. Call 7038618755 so I don't have to pack it. I've moving from the west end today.

    Finally, the basic system is done.... save for dressing up the cables. I've only had this mess for going on 8 mos. and am finally glad it is installed, and working.

    Need to get some longer "grub" screws (basically set screws) so I can level out the display a little better, but other than that, I'm happy.

    All the final install pix are in the last pages of the garage project link.

    Time for a beer!!!! :1drink

    So...what does it do? What is it?
    I remember you told me once, but I can't remember. Something like whatever predated the CNC router for metal or something, right?

    By the way, if anyone has thin scraps of aluminum that they want to throw away...I'll take them for heatsinks. Trying to build a tesla coil, and keep overheating and burning up mosfets.

    This makes speedflying look like it was designed for the risk-averse.

    Rolled by there this morning and there are hand made signs in the window about something like a two for one deal for lunch etc.

    He's never done that before so I wonder if the impact of his actions is already being felt.

    Posting this for a friend. No connection whatsoever:

    "My step-son is selling his 2009 Aprillia Dorsoduro 750. He bought it new and has put a whopping 420 miles on it! He has the lust for a new Ford F 150 Raptor truck and the bike has to go.

    "Like new machine, Black, fender eliminator kit, 750cc 90 degree V twin (92 ponies), Tri-map engine control = Rain, Tour, Hooligan. :-)

    "He lives in Williamsburg, VA and can be reached at 757-272-8886 cell or 757-208-0704 or at: dalemel5924 at yahoo dot com. Said he wants $6500. for it."

    I have pictures. PM me with your email addy and I'll forward them to you.

    I figured I would offer these Touratech Cylinder Guards to the Richmond/Hampton Roads ADV Riders first before listing in the Flea or CL. New w/shipping these cost $215
    These have never been outside of my garage. I am selling them for $130 for the pair.

    That is bad looking bike. I would love to have it. Not real practical though...

    I guess $6500 may put a slight dent in a $38,000 truck or it will buy the big tires and some mud goodies. :D

    This is what you get when a BMW GS and a Ducati Monster have a one night stand!
