Ha, what a coincidence, I start making a guillotine a couple years ago, all hand made. About 3 ft. Tall, was gonna be quite a piece, bronze, copper, brass, furniture, all file worked with custom paint and gold leaf lettering. Got the release mechanism done but never got any furture, maybe now that I hopefully have some more time, already got fab jobs piling up, havent even made it out there yet. Lol.

3 feet tall? What size is the blade on it? :eek: Man that might really work on people LMAO

I hope you do get time to finish that up, that will be awesome to see.

They definitely dont. And im far from a mechanic or anything like that but when it comes to looks alone they keep getting worse and worse IMO.

No lambo, Ferrari, or any other space ship looking car could ever come close to looking as badass as an old school 1969-1970 Chevelle SS.

Grandpa did not actually die in a car accident (I was just being a smart-alec about that), but he did drive a huge late-60's 4-door Chevy Caprice very much like this one... except in that puke-green factory metal-flake paint... as a little kid I remember being very proud of myself when I got strong enough to open those old-school door handles all by myself and act like a gentleman to open the door for Grandma or my Mom... I used to practice that when no one was lookin, like I was lifting weights or something :o Those freakin' latches didn't give up easily to a little scrawny kid's weak spindly thumbs :D

Pretty sure his was a hard-top, I've been wrong before, though... Anyway, it was so vast at the tender age of 5 or 6, when I was already quite tall for my age, I could still very comfortably sit on the arm-rest built into the middle of the front bench seat and see through the windshield quite clearly when he and Grandma took me for a ride in the country and to go get an ice cream or burger at the local drive-in. Seat belts? Never heard of 'em back then.

They sure don't make 'em like that anymore...

I road for 7 years. I miss it every day. Yes, there are the dangers out there on the road ... but the feeling you get while riding. You can't describe it. During that 7 years I never raced professionally but I did my "fast" qualification so I could go to track days. Ripping around corners at 100+mph scraping your knee across the pavement then hitting a straight away and pushing it up to 200mph before slamming on the breaks and doing it again.... sploosh (the sound of my orgasm). Such a rush.

Last time I was able to sneak out for a day with a friends bike (almost 2 years ago). I made the wife take the photo just in case I just kept riding. Tweaked up Kawasaki ZX14. The dyno was 206hp at the rear wheel. The fastest I got it on a straight that day was 326kph.

As for the down side of riding, yes there were some hairy times. I was traveling down the highway about 50 yards back from a construction vehicle. A foot long piece of 4x4 wood came off the back and disappeared only to be kicked up into my face by the semi driving beside me. I was traveling at about 70mph and when it smoked my helmet it destroyed the visor and cracked the shell in front of my mouth in half. That wasn't very fun.
Another time I was riding home from work at about 1am and I used to take the country roads home for that extra little bit of ride. A raccoon darted out in front of me and I ended up running him over. I was lucky that I went straight over his mid section lol. It felt like I hit a small speed bump, so I did like I was trained in my courses and adjusted my balance and throttle accordingly.

Using the analogy of horse riding... some people fall and never get back on. I without falling just kept getting back on ;) and to this day I still miss it incredibly. Like a part of me died the day I had to sell my bike. With that being said... At the time that I sold my bike my son was turning 2 and my daughter had just been born. Knowing the fate of some unlucky individuals that are out there I would not be a responsible parent if I kept up my riding habits. Which is eventually why I sold the bike. And because I just so happened to have a daughter born to me, I invested the money from my bike sale into a pistol caliber carbine :) like all good fathers do ;)

Edit: when my daughter grows up and gets married to somebody that I actually approve of I'm getting a new bike!

This is very true!
 
My neighbour found out that her dog could hardly hear, so she took it to the veterinarian.
The vet found that the problem was hair in the dog's ears. He cleaned both ears, and the dog could hear fine.
The vet then proceeded to tell the lady that, if she wanted to keep this from recurring, she should go to the pharmacy and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears once a month.
The lady went to the store and bought some "Nair" hair remover.
At the register, the pharmacist told her,
"If you're going to use this under your arms, don't use deodorant for a few days.."
The lady said, "I'm not using it under my arms..
"The pharmacist said, "If you're using it on your legs, don't shave for a couple of days."
The lady replied, "I'm not using it on my legs either.
If you must know, I'm using it on my schnauzer."
The pharmacist said, "Then you should stay off your bicycle for about a week."
 
This motorbike was cool enough that I snapped a shot. Parking lot of Dick's Sporting Goods.
