WOW...is that incredible or what and it looks absolutely box stock. The builder, Allen Millyard (a 41 yr old nuclear research engineer), is one talented bike...
I have a major G update. Today I went out to my garage and saw both of them sitting there collecting dust. Then I got in my car and drove to work in the snow. ...
I came across this adventure theme hotel in No Conway, NH that looks pretty cool. It has 16 theme based suites (Jungle Adventure Suite, Cave Adventure Suite,...
We've all heard of 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines and understand how they work, but here's a link of various engine designs (from rotary to stirling and others)...
My favorite is the Gnome rotary. That is just plain awe inspiring... I have done some extensive work on the Mazda wankle engine. The early models had problems...
Hey Chris, I have no idea what a "Motorcycle Wiki" is, but I like it! Very neat and informative site...thanks for posting it. I really like the editing...
Jason, I had never heard of the Gnome rotary until I saw this article. It's a very neat design engine used in a lot of WW1 fighter planes. In reading about it,...
The dictionary says a wiki is "A collaborative website whose content can be edited by anyone who has access to it." I think we, as a group, can add to the...
Chris, Well Daddy KyJohn learned a new word today and it's sorta funky: "wiki" (it almost sounds obscene as in "Would ya check out that momma's wiki!". I like...

I heard a different story, related by "Click and Clack" on their NPR call-in show. The scarf was used as a filter over the mouth of the pilot because the...
Sick of not riding so today me and some friends decided to head south. Bundled up and loaded up the FJR and headed south for Pine Mountain Georgia. Home of...
i heard the same thing about the scarf being a filter due to the oil slung out of the motor , and the brandy they were supposed to have quaffed was for the...
The stirling engine is quite a remarkable device. They had a small one at college and because it works on a reversable cycle, when you add heat it delivers...
I'm amazed and shocked; nobody's mentioned any mid-80s Honda V-4s. (Interceptor, Magna and Sabre) All respects to the G but the Honda V-4 was possibly the...

I'm not a World War One pilot, but there's another reason for the silk scarf. It's to help prevent chafing your neck against your uniform or jacket collar...
Pure trivia: The scarf is actually such a tradition that Air Force crewmembers still wear a (much shorter) scarf with their flightsuits. We don't fly with it...
In addition to Bill's comments, I would add- BMW had the new K1200R Sport, which puts a Bandit-like or FZ1-like fairing on the front instead of that silly...
