"A Gold Plated Stator"

Do they have them?  I want one for my trophy wall.  Oh, maybe I have to earn it.

Does the "V" Society award one annually for best idea?    We could do a poll on the best of the year. This has to be fun.

Winning is fun.  Progress is fun.  Learning is fun.  (runner up can be a silver plate starter) 8)

I like it,, incentive to improve upon an already great bike!! 

[inanecathode]

I look at a clean burn as releasing as little hydrocarbons from the tail pipe as possible. Motorcycles tend to be pretty clean as far as hydrocarbons are concerned but they absolutely belch nox and co.
I think its all pretty moot though, they put out very little exhaust compared to their four wheeled counterparts, plus if you consider the energy and pollution involved in just smelting the steel for a bike frame compared to a car frame.

Gold plated stator? wow, could I wear it around my neck and be one of those.. wachacallits.. ganstas? But if I did that i would probably hang my self later, just from the sheer shame of having anything in common with my useless generation. I don't think my generation has done anything positive except donate organs. I'll take The Who and Pink Floyd any day!

[funkamongus]

YAY!!! I have a friend I can relate to!! 

[Rick G]

As far as popular music goes . for me it all turned to crap in the very early seventies.  I'm
still a Motown fan.
As far as these caricatures who are doing rap , I think they've left one letter out . There should be a C on the front of rap.

hahahha AMEN!!! I do like the floyd,, but Im mostly into " the cream ", or Hendrix, and in the 70s I had to switch over to Steely Dan
(a name taken from a william burroughs novel called "the naked lunch",, steely dan was a fully automated, metallic, dildo).. even dabbled in John Prine and John Hiatt....as a musician for over 25 years,, Id have to admit there a small pockets of stuff that are ok these days, IMHO, John Mayer, for example, is a fine musician and good writer,, Jack Johnson, not so musically evolved but,  good, feel good, tunes...

[YellowJacket!]

I'll take The Who and Pink Floyd any day!

And add in a little Dire Straits for good measure.  Now yer talkin!

nice call,,, agreed, fully. hear the Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins stuff?? great..

[vadasz1]

I kind of am partial to the pre-Eliminator ZZ Top stuff.  Also most of the Bon Scott era of AC/DC was fantastic.


JAILLLLLLLLLLLL BBBRRRRRREEEEEAAAAKKKKKK ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[QBS]

Don't forget the Stones and The Doors.  Anybody ever heard of a guy called Stevie Ray, aka SRV?  Rock on Bros.

[funkamongus]

             8).......TIGER....... 8)

[Kid Jedi]

it looks tiger has stolen my music library! As for opera I do like Lakme by Deliebes..

[Rick G]

I enjoyed the three tenors on PBS, and I enjoy classical music , but opera leaves me cold, they all sound like there in pain!  I like blues , and especially old country, 20 years ago and older.. The new stuff has way too much of a popular sound to it.

[funkamongus]

I really love this forum... no wonder.. it seems all you guys have good taste.. odd.. and have the same bike.. hmmm..  can it be assumed that this bike is in good taste!!

[QBS]

Only when the gremlins are exorsized.

[h2olawyer]

My music tastes run a wide gamut.  Bluegrass, older country, classical (including some light opera), most rock from the late 50s through the early 80s (yes, even some disco), The Chieftans, Enya, Mannheim Steamroller (awesome stargazing music) but my favorite has to be big band & Jazz - Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Clyde McCoy, Kay Kyser, Chuck Mangione, Don Ellis, Wynton Marsalis, and finally - as a former trumpet player - my hero, Maynard Ferguson.  Total agreement with Rick on the (C)rap 'music'.

[Kid Jedi]

[funkamongus]
