Stug wheels tracks recovered in Romania












Reader sent me these amazing fotos of these massive Panzer wheels and tracks, by looking at the old fotos my guess these are for the Stug. i could be wrong , but they look closest to this vehicle, what a job that must have been to swap out or service these massive wheels and tracks.
If you have interesting fotos , send them to me ..

late 1947 Knucklehead Big Twin frame neck

Close up of the late last "Bullneck" frame for 1947. I believe theres 3 frames for 1947. This one is very rare. some 20,000 FLs built that year if i'm correct.



Run out of motorcycle lifts? milk crates work..LOL


Bastardized high performanced 1947 engine.

pre 1909 Harley Davidson single belt drive




Above are some very old fotos torn out of a someones family album, If you look very close on the rear wheel you can see the belt/sprocket on the rear wheel. Always thought it interesting that the earliest bikes used leather belts, then bikes went to chains then back to modern flexible rubber belts to lessen the vibration n wear. If you found only the engine of this bike, theres a few folks making highest quality replacement parts to build the whole bike once again. The next foto was on the other side....looks like the old "our gang" little rascals.

Indian 101 Scouts

The great property of 101s is any idiot can get them and keep them running . probably thee easiest to maintain , service bikes i've ever had..Luckily there is a great following so many parts r now available as knockoffs,, I kinda wish Colony or the other big name replacement parts folks would make fenders etc out of thicker gauge metal..plenty of acceleration and very maneuverable...just not a highway bike...i prefer runing drop center rims vs the correct clincher rims,,,clincher rims are the very old early style rims...

Vista home security 2012 antivirus hijack...how to remove

Ever get hijacked by these bogus rogue scamwares like "Vista home security 2012 antivirus" ???..or MyStart Incredibar . first dont ever share your computer...
i have found this one series of steps will always knock out homepage or other style hijacks...this one above was incredibly insidious, could not go to properties my computer etc.... so you can remove virtually all spywares, hijacks, scamwares etc...they look like microsoft updates ...they have the same icons , insignia etc ...
1. on start up hit F8 until "safe mode with networking " option surfaces on a black n white screen ...select that.enter... log on to your computer as normal...
2. in the Start menu on the bottom of the screen, "start search" window....type in "system restore" ...this picks a previous time period when the computer wasnt corrupted...this will unfuck the computer....follow its steps, and it will have reboot your computer and you will be free of the hijack software.....Obviously anytime any popup asks you to update and enter your credit card etc...WARNING...your being scammed..like i wrote above this series of instructions will knock out disable most if not all hijacks n scamwares...
my experience is you dont have to go to "command prompt" and enter code to unfuck your computer,i'm not a big spyware guy either, to me its just another computer vampire knocking out your computer and reporting back to bigbrother w what breakfast cereal you buy.... always interested to know folks ideas on outwitting the scammers....
