In my own little world
Re: In my own little world
And now for the epilogue to: "The Great Dargo Motorcycle Crash Story"! LOL
Here's a shot of the bike I crashed on and after fixing it up these past few weeks. Hey, I had time to do it and considering there was no tennis for me during the time, right?!
Had to replace the crushed headlight assembly, the dented-in chrome Triumph gas tank badge which thankfully saved the gas tank from being dented (HATE dents in tanks), replaced the left rear turn indicator, and touched-up a bit of the paint on the front fender. It seems those folding "freeway pegs" you see sitting down at the lower turn of the exhaust headers saved that side of the bike from getting all scratched up.
(...can't even tell this baby of mine went through any trauma, can ya)

Re: In my own little world
Based on the little red Tic Tac car of yours, Dargo doesn’t like being surrounded.
If you were out here in California, it might be raining on the old tennis court.
Both of the little Hondas my brother and I had, the petrol was under our bums.
My brother had a Honda 200 that decided one day to catch fire while it was idling.
Like red Dargo?
The backside of the other bike looks a bit like a HOG. Say it isn’t so, Indian man.

Yep, Jimimac. It's open-air motoring for me as much as possible, alright. (...might as well take advantage of the CA/AZ sunshine and nice weather, I've always said)
Yep, according to L.A.'s weather forecast, it looks as if my wife and I are going to hit some of it while we'll be in our old stompin' grounds in order to attend the L.A. Auto Show this weekend. (...a last minute idea she conjured up just yesterday)
Funny, I didn't know that Honda ever used Lucas electrical components?! LOL
Yep, it appears so, doesn't it. However, I have told myself that IF I ever buy another bike, it definitely isn't going to be a red one. (I've always kind'a liked blue ones too)
Nope, that's the tail end of my Indian Springfield. (...notice how the saddlebags are more swept back and flowing than H-D's are)
Re: In my own little world
Wow, you're good at that multi-quote thing Dargo.
I looked up the Indian Springfield and found many a red one.
Looks like AZ is one of the friendlies states for one of these:
Red of course.

Oh yeah! Those old Honda three-wheeler ATVs.
Ya know, Honda ceased producing them after the NTSB found there had been a spike in roll-ever accidents and injuries with 'em and then banned their sell sometime in the late-'80s.
(...only rode one once and remember slightly running over my foot with one of the rear wheels and after putting my feet on the ground for no good reason...you didn't have to balance these at a stop, ya know)
Re: In my own little world
I believe that is a perfectly natural mistake. You are subconsciously assuming that my obvious immaturity indicates physical youth. It is also that our first contact at: TCM forum was at a time when most of my writing was on a par with a backwards third-grader.TikiSoo wrote: ↑November 15th, 2023, 6:19 amReally?

I believe that I am one year younger than you. I am at the first stage of being a senior citizen and will not approach 'old fartdom' for a few decades.

Ixnay on talk of oolstay! Among my little Fuzzy's hobbies are woodworking and cabinetmaking. He is quite content to buy a cheap Harbor-Freight-quality tool if he does not foresee a recurring need. The quality and expense rise rapidly as he finds a tool more useful than anticipated and replaces it with quality.
He is at the moment looking longingly at: Mirka 1.25 Inch Angled Sander. It is a battery-operated detail sander. It is: $829! The only thing stopping him from purchasing it is that he has no projects at this moment or planner in the near future wherein it might be useful.

That is very good news! It is what I wished but I did fear a far worse outcome.

Oxymoron?
I should talk.
My elevator makes frequent stops on the way to the top.
Kind of like the elevator in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Gotta dance or it won't go up.

Ah, I've been known to create a project to justify the purchase of a cool tool...

Re: In my own little world
Don't have a pallet jack, but do have forks on my tractor. Does that count?

(Curiosity killed the cat, right?)
You are talking like a fork lift, yes?
Yes, it counts and you don't need to ask me either.
Are you a farmer?
Now I really want pictures.

Re: In my own little world
No, I'm not a farmer, just a retired programmer. I have a Deere compact tractor, not a big boy like the farmers use. Right now I have the bucket on the front end, so maybe I'll take a pic and start a new thread the next time I put the forks on. This is Masha's thread and it wouldn't be right to stray too far from her world.
