  1. Probably will be a while but will see when I may get out, but 1 to 2 vacations a month planned at the moment are taking up my time.
  2. When my father closed his machine shop I was real tempted to take one of the big Bridgport Milling machines, and the Large Lathe and a bunch of other really cool things I would have used a bunch of times, but for the space needed and add in 3 Phase power was needed, I talked myself out of it and I think the wife is happier because of it being It would have taken up the side of the garage she gets to park her convertible in.
  3. Very nice, and just a quarter in your pocket is all that's needed to take her down for a cleaning.. Remember the old add Marlin used to have??
  4. For what the Guild charges I'd be wanting a happy ending by some good looking split tail.. LOL
  5. not that I'm doing any better lately, but you do have Step 1 down pat dude..
  6. I know what you mean, I think that was only 1 of his inventions, I think he also owned the company that makes EDM's lol
  7. He mentions a left handed drill but doesn't use one, and damn, if I ever used an adjustable wrench my father would have kicked my a$$..
  8. I feel for ya man, HR I could see as a fun job 25 plus years ago, in todays OVER PC World, I don't think I would like it all that much. I'd hate to have to enforce some things that I didn't believe in and in many case not be able to take situations in their totality into consideration but have to focus on 1 small piece I se happening more often these days.
  9. I agree, last time I bough 9mm it was about 19 cents a round to my door, can't believe the price of ammo, and for the poster above you, heck I love to shoot matches, but if I was paying 26 cents a round for 9mm, I'd protest the reshoot. LOL
  10. Welcome to the Forum..
  11. Welcome to the Forum..
  12. Welcome to the Forum..
  13. Welcome to the Forum, Just wait till you find out about the Steel Matches that are out there..
  14. Done, here at work, 7 of my lines up on the top floor, 4 of my lines in my office, 2 of my cell phones and will do it again when I get home...
  15. go find a match in PA to shoot and ride to it and kill 2 birds with 1 stone..
  16. Don't see the benefit, My current FID has no expiration date, why would I want to change that. This bill doesn't eliminate the P2P process, and it doesn't streamline anything, if anything it does is put your FID in jeopardy every time you go to renew your license from what I can see. Don't see many any positives here.
  17. I wouldn't even think about using a drill press if you only want to make round holes in the slide.
  18. Yea, it's too bad that didn't stay around, finally a HD you could wear the pussy strips off the tires with.
  19. I laugh also, My old bikes are still on the road from years past, problem is the only one I still have is my 83 Shovel in addition to my 08 Ultra. but the list of sales I should have never done are, 47 Knuck, 50 Pan, 68 and 70 Trumpet Chops, 74 chopped Sporty, and all of them should still be running strong as the folks who bought them were Harley people before it became a fad. Damn you for making me think about what I had and gotten rid of. lol Another thing, My 83 Shovel don't leak and yes she had fluids in her.. ROFLMAO
  20. No matter what you do, take a riders Ed Course, not only will you learn a lot, you will also get a discount on insurance. As far as buying new, that's just fine but I would not discount looking into a used Sportster if you really want to ride a Sportster. Many find, especially the 883 to upgrade to a large bike. some will call them a girls bike, they aren't, they are the most nimble of the HD's, also wile HD's aren't known for HP they are a torque bike, and the Sportsters with that said have the best Power to Weight ration, they also have the highest center of gravity. Many time you can find a great condition, low mileage Sporty on the cheap. Actually, if I was looking to get a first HD and was looking for the best bag for the buck, I'd look at a used Dyna, good power, low center of gravity and handle very well for the type of bike it is. If you cared to go a little bigger and along the lines of one of the HD's that I ride, well there is a FL for sale here on the Forum that's something to look at, and probably close to the price range you were looking for, maybe a few bucks more, but I'll say you WONT outgrow that bike as long as you are interested in HD's. As far as people mentioning wrenching vs. riding, It's basically BS these day with how they are built, any bike requires more attention than you 4 wheel car or truck plain and simple, and a properly maintained HD will be a bike you can pass down to your kids 20-30-40-50 years or more.
  21. Still don't want to do the Airport Gig huh?? LOL
  22. I don't think it's a bad idea, but would like to see the changes to the roads that are in the plans.
