Restoration: 1976 Harley Davidson SX 175 [Updated]

Posted in Motorcycles by: TimothyT on: 09/02/2010 05:14 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Everyone has a memory of their first car or motorcycle. I am no different. I bought a mid-70’s AMF Harley Davidson enduro when I was 16. At the time I built my own bicycles so this seemed like a natural progression. It barely ran, I had no driver’s license and I remember the throttle cable was broken so I had to pull the cable to drive it around at first. Well, mom wasn’t too happy about it and did the old “not in my house” routine and I had to get rid of it. Almost 30 years later I found one on eBay and bought it to restore. It is rare to find one complete, running and in excellent condition as many of these motorcycles were used on farms and in fields and often the titles have been lost. It only cost me a few hundred more than the one I purchased way back when, but it will cost about 5 times that to restore it to perfect condition. I have so much time and effort into the project that I thought I would share the story of this restoration so you can follow along. The thumbnail to the left shows the bike when we removed the motor and skins before we began disassembly.

Boeing Projects $700 Billion Commercial Airplanes Market in North America

Posted in Aviation by: TimothyT on: 09/02/2010 11:55 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Boeing (NYSE: BA) forecasts that air carriers in North America will take delivery of about 7,200 new airplanes over the next 20 years at an investment of $700 billion.

New airplane deliveries in Canada and the United States will be driven largely by the need to retire older, less fuel-efficient single-aisle airplanes and regional jets, as airlines replace them with new-generation, more fuel-efficient models.

Chevrolet is asking its 3,000 dealers to prepare for the late September launch of the new Chevrolet Cruze compact by purchasing competitors' vehicles for test-drive comparisons.

At a media event today in suburban Detroit, Brooks said Chevrolet expects buyers to come away with a favorable view of the Cruze. At the event, Chevrolet had Corollas and Civics available for reporters to test drive after the Cruze.

Chris Paine and the Revenge crew (Sean, Craig, Jessie, and Jessica) are proud to say that they are among the first film crews ever to professionally film mass production of an EV. (Of course, this is mostly because no one has made them in so long.) Since GM will be one of the first to the EV market with its Volt in 2011, we came to film them being put together through the multiple stages of the car manufacturing process. Chris is pleased to announce that he and his crew were there live to see the completion of Chevy Volt pre-production car #100 at the Hamtramck Assembly Plant in Michigan. The delivery was made at 9:25AM, August 25, 2010. The baby is 177 inches, 3500 pounds. One fine beauty. And accompanied by quite a few of the Volt’s siblings in all colors.
