    Burt Munro 50 years ago record set

    If you like stories about the characters of speed, this has to be one of the most-engaging of the seekers of speed records. "World's Fastest Indian," the story of Burt Munro, a New Zealand self-taught mechanic/machinist, and his bought-new 1920 Indian Scout V-twin, which he turned into a land...

    those 50+ years, what does this look like?

    50 new HD models in 5 years

    http://www.kotatv.com/content/news/Harley-embarks-on-ambitious-plan-to-capture-new-riders-414669773.html Interesting short read. If I'm not mistaken all current HD models are based on one of four different platforms. I wonder what "new model" means? How much R&D can be afforded to even one...

    split window VW van leaves forest nap of 40 years under its own power

    I think this is a cool video, about saving an abandoned VW van from the space it 'slept' for 40 years, between two trees in a forest. The parts I like are seeing the guys remove the engine, and carrying it away, slung off strapping looped-over a 2 x 4 they carry on their shoulders. Once they...

    Fifty-seven years of dictatorship

    It took too-long for millions of Caribbean citizens and their descendants. Fidel Castro has died. He survived many years longer than his contemporaries. He was also socking away hundreds of millions of dollars which he stole from his countrymen, but because he controlled the military, the...

    2007 to 2017 = 10 years

    The last year of the Gen 1 was 2007, and now if you calculate the ten years that a vehicle manufacturer is required to keep parts in-stock, to allow vehicles needing repairs to remain on the roads, we've hit the ten year mark. Some parts are already listed as 'obsolete,' meaning, "you're not...

    Please verify Venture final drive years...

    Well I'm told by the stealership that the bearings and shims need to be done on my 2007 Vmax. And parts are backordered for about 3 weeks. Thinking now might be a good time to do the Venture final drive swap. From what I've read 1986 to 1993 1300cc Venture final drives will fit? Is this correct?
