Moderators dtel Posted February 21, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 21, 2016 I know someone who looks just like Sir Rattle, a forum member here Michael Colter, could be his brother. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 There is a resemblance isn’t there...well, Michael doesn’t post much anymore...perhaps he’s moonlighting with the orchestra? Guess we’ll have to call him Maestro Colter from now on. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 That"s crazy stuff.. ya know I never got into bikes....I mean I rode a few here and there and I liked em... but never owned one... Now my dad on the other hand raced until he was in his later 60's. He would road race.. He got into old Yamaha's. He would race in a vintage class. My dad was also a horse jockey, he worked all the east coast tracks for 30+ years. He just did the Motorcycle racing as a hobby. The owner of the one Honda dealer I worked for in the late 80 was cleaning out all his old junk he had. He bought this one Honda motorcycle in the dealer one day. It looked like the one you posted in the video... it was a full blown race bike... but it was only a two cylinder 125cc. He couldn't get it running and none of us car guys wanted it. So I called my dad and told him about it. My dad bought it that afternoon. I remember he took it out to Summit Point were he raced... he had a blast with it. If I remember it had a RED line of like 14K and I think the power band was 10k.... I remember my dad saying I've never reved a eng up like this lol lol... He ended up selling it after a few years.... Yea he still kicks himself for selling it and what's really funny is my dad never rode a bike on the street in this country.. he's never owned a street bike he in the US... MKP :-) Awesome story Mark. Your Dad sounds like quite the daredevil. (4 wheels moves your body, 2 wheels moves your soul) Being a big guy I rode Honda XR600R dirt bikes for years which produced 36hp at the rear wheel. Then I bought a Yamaha YZ400F with the ceramic coated cylinder, 5 valve, red line was 13.5K and the bike created close to 59hp at the rear wheel. Riding dirt bikes hasn't been the same since. It's amazing the performance some of these dirt bikes have, especially the 4 strokes. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Morning gang, enjoying my blueberry, banana, psyllium husk, flaxseed oil, and honey breakfast shake. (don't like coffee) It was 72 here yesterday, absolutely beautiful, but the 20s are coming back later this week. I had 22 Beech trees cut down, the beetles got them, so I have at least one whole day of cleaning up my lawn ahead of me. Have a great day folks….anybody checking out the Daytona 500? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Warm here, too. AC is running right now. Got to finish demolition of the main bath. Total remodel. Have to straighten out the electrical will the walls are partially open. Amazing how some people wire a house. Electricians do not seem to understand the code. Oh well, set here and catch up on the news, eat breakfast (my usual plain oatmeal mixed with yogurt with dry toast), then back to the bathroom to clean up the mess from late last night. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well all in all were doing ok....another week tomorrow....ok enjoy the rest of your Sunday... MKP :-) I lived with my grandfather who died of Pick's disease, which is similar to Alzheimer. Some of the stuff he would say would have us rolling on the ground. It was hard not to laugh as he knew what was going and would get made. It wasn't right, but you just couldn't help it. His favorite thing to say, which was probably the only thing he said up to the time he past was "yeah sure you bet". He was always restless, always wanted to go for walks. It got to the point my grandmother and I couldn't control him, so we put him in a home. At first he figured out that there was an access code to open the door. So they had to cover it to keep him from escaping. Its tough to see someone go through that, I feel for you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Just bought gas and with a 8 gallon purchase I got free lighter fluid and a bag of charcoal. These are the good ole days. I watched a show awhile back about Ford....and there was something like when you bought a new modle "t" it came with a free bag of Kingsford charcoal. The charcoal was made with the scaps of the cars. If ya google Kingsford and read the history it tell the story...it's really cool..
