July 26th, 2008. [thumbzup] Sarge: From all the stuff you're going to be carrying, try to set the LC1 or the dufflebag with shoulder straps so that the bikes seat or frame takes most of the weight..... Better if you can strap it to the bike's frame or seat by...

July 18th, 2008. rofl Sounds like the Air Compressor Governor to me...... You'll get used to the normal sounds your truck makes, BUT when it comes up with a new one, you'd better look quick or the problems can grow exponentially.....! Remember, if you're an old deuce driver, you...

July 12th, 2008. How about offering the Sherriff's Departments an Armored M35 Gun Truck with a nice little Phalanx or Vulcan gun? The cost of conversion would be less then a new civillian MRAP, and it would take good care of the drug kingpins, anti-government types, and just plain...

July 11th, 2008. And one last comment regarding the M35--- Stone Age, yes, but which cab would you rather be riding in in the event of smacking a tree on maneuvers, or having to push a car out of the way (in combat)? Neither are much good against an IED, but for taking front end damage &...
