   Always been a Ford (other than a foray into VW for a while) and Honda 
Cycle man. But in the service station mechanic's bay, we always called 
them a rod - as in "threw a rod"

Them's some nice rides, my friend. My main motor head days were from 
mid '70's through early '80s. Still play under the hood every now and 
then as need arises. Still have a '68 Mustang and 81 Honda Twinstar. 
Need to get my tags current on the bike. Its 70+ miles to the gallon is 
a lot more attractive than the 16 or so the work van gets with gas 
being what it is today. Now, if only I can figure out how to haul my 
shows on the bike... now where did I archive those posts on the pocket 
puppets?

   The way too long explanations were not to correct (or even to show 
off what I know), but to give a fuller idea for those not familiar with 
the clips we were talking about and help them find them if interested.

I think I'm done now and will go back to my corner and lurk.
