Kindly speak english "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

and even more likely they did all three at the same time here?... Maybe the Flag Manufacturers' Association of America (FMAA) has them in their back pockets. I'm not sure but, they might be evil. http://www.fmaa-usa.com/about/profile_mission.php "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I should had took a better look at the heads. First glance, damn thing looks big. Never seen a 348. Have seen quite a few 347's. Being that 289's are 2 bolt, why did you use the 289 over the 302 4 bolt? Nice engine you have there. The Demon is a badass carb. Tuning it is a breeze next to a Holley. As for performanc, the 750 flows like aHolley 850. When I built the 355 I was orignally looking at the 850 Holley. Talking to the guy at the shop, he convinced me that a 759 Demon was the route to go as it performs better than the holley. Even on a hard launch it performed much better than the Holley. I did replace the Eldelbrock manifold with a Holley Dominator manifold. That engine had big balls. I skimped on the heads and did not replace the rocker studs with screw ins. I had these heads on to 383 stroker so I figured that they should be fine untill I can afford a set of aluminum heads. Less than 1000 miles later it popped a stud. The rocker shifted to the side, off of the valve stem and onto the umbrella. When the pushrod came up and the rocker back down (the stud was still partly in the riser) it compressed the springs past the keepers and sucked the valve down into the cylinder. It pulverized the piston, twisted the hell out of the rod (it is now a doorstop), snapped the pushrod and blew a hole out the side of the block. This was the number 5 cylinder. Lesson learned? Never skimp on parts "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Nice sliders. A buddy of mine use to be a machinist at World Energy Enigineering in St.Louis. Anytime I needed something, I just handed him the specs and he did it. He did the same as you did for his triple tree on his 57 pan/shovel. We put that bike together in one night. Very nice bike. Is that a 460 sitting there? If so, I'm guessing that is an 850 Demon on top? I put a 750 Demon on the 355 that was in my Elky. I'll never use a Holley ever again. Love the Demon. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I moved the jumper back to the original place. Bear in mind that this a smaller version of what the actual print will be "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

How is this one? I enlarged the jumper and moved the font on the ribbon. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

A bro of mine is coming down from St.Louis in the next few weeks and bringing some stuff to try on the Snorton'. The frontend is still off as I'm going try a triple tree from a wideglide to see how it looks. I think it will look a lot meaner than the old wimpy ass stock Norton tree. Also going to try several types of Harley rear fenders. I've had the flat fender on her since the 80's. Whatever goes back there it has to accomadate my blue dot tombstone tail light. I'm also waiting for him to bring down his welding machine. I have to weld on brackets for the exhaust pipes that I have yet to make. Never sell your welder and pipe bender. 79 Guzzi? I have an old bro who goes by the nickname Guzzi. The dude has been riding the same ratbike Guzzi since the 70's. I guarantee it has over 500,000 miles on it and still rolling. Ugliest freaking thing but, it stays up with the best of them. He does keep it mechanicaly sound but refuses to do anything about how it looks. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

That would be this one. I really like this one also. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

How is this one? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I say build what you ride. My sweeeeeet ass Norton 1000 (sitting in the livingroom at this moment for rebuild) has rode with and ahead off the best of them. Anyone who would refuse to ride along side you because of the type of bike you ride is not worth riding with. I have a number of Hogs (and 1 AMF Sporty) over the years and will say that my 91 Fattestboy was the best. The engine was taken out and built for speed. Same with the tranny. Sucide shift, belt primary and dry clutch, SS super E, Dyna and a crap load of other goodies. 142mph speeding ticket with plenty of wick left over. I've even beat a GSX 1100 dragracing at Sturgis one year! Not for new riders or those who don't have a good feel for a big bike. If you are looking for a bike and from what you have stated about experiance, I'd recommend that you start on something small and easy to operate. If you are looking to just fit in and chose the wrong bike for yourself for that reason then you are asking for trouble. Be smart and get something that you can learn on. Possibly in the 500 to the 883 range. The 883 is a great bike for someone to get some skills on without going broke and can always trade up later on if they feel they are ready. Hell, I didn't start off on big Hogs. I started on a minibike when I was 5

Kris, that is sort of what I was thinking. Here's another variation of the design. The more I look at the other designs, the more I like the more simple design. Less clutter. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I did use some of your suggestions. Here are a few more versions "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

And another version I'll work on that canopy with a ribbon on it. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I tried this large ribbon with small ribbons around it. Didn't look right. 4 way ribbon formation also didn't look rights. It does look alright on it's own with font. Printed size would be much larger. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

It would be easier for me to just order shirts. I normaly use three different styles. Womens short sleeve t-shirt and tank are Fruit of the Loom for Her. Mens are Jerzees brand t-shirts. Just send me your shirt size/style and I will order when the time comes. White shirts print best. I put a jumper in front of the ribbon. I put the jumper low so not to look like the JFTC logo. The actual design can be resized up to 11.5w x 16.5L Bear in mind that the pics are .jpg's and are not quite as brillant in color as the .psd files that I print from. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Here's another version with the changes "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I think you are right about color. I don't do screenprint. What I do is DTG, Direct To Garment printing. We can add all kinds of color without affecting ink cost. It's the same whether it is one color or 16 million. I also, don't use screens. The machine is set up to run an Epson 2200 inkjet print head. No mixing, no squeegeeing. I load, print and heat set. Keep the ideas coming

If anyone has an idea for a team shirt, please post it. Here's a little something with ribbons. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

12 years sober. In time, you'll wonder what it was about booze that you liked and not be able to come up with an answer. However, when you do something stupid, you no longer have an excuse. Sobriety is a win/lose situation. Best 12 years of my life and counting... "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

You can fix most anything with duct tape but, you just can't fix stupid. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I get the impression that the militants only scattered into hiding like roaches when the light (the surge) was turned on. They'll be back once the light is dimmed and in greater numbers. It seems that the militants do the one thing thatt the U.S. has failed to do. Fall back, regroup and attack with new stratagies. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

And I have stated as such. The level of recidivism shows that something is seriously not working. The circulation of repeat offenders and the high number of first time offenders is evidence that many programs such as prison counseling, deterent messages do not work and that the lack of intense follow up after release only adds to the problem. Consider the year 2002 the U.S. prison population went above 2million prisoners. If current programs were effective and deterence actually worked, the number should had gone the opposite direction of up. I see a need for intense early intervention before kids hit the age where they are fully responsible for all of their actions. Even now some crimes make kids liable as if they are adults. Current deterence tactics are not working as they should and greater education is needed. Maybe, an hour in school eachday discussing the consequences of their actions should they commit a crime? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Funny.. All I see is people trying to defend this guy that was committing Armed Robberies. I don’t see anyone else discussing the Law itself. Just trying to make a Victim out of the Criminal. Uhhhm... If there are any post by someone defending this guy, I must had missed them. I'm certianly not defending the dirtbag. I am questiong whether his level of participation warrants capitol punishment or a lengthy sentence of 20, 30, 50 years? Maybe life, with or without the possibility of parol? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I don't believe that the answer is to quickly lock people away. As for the guy in the op, yes he should do serious time. I don't think his part warrants death. A very long while in prison for his part is my opinion. Other crimes are equally sentence unfairly. http://www.stanford.edu/class/siw198q/modelppr/omar.htm Just from a quick google search I found a number of studies that show that laws such as MMS do not work. The number of prisoners show this to be true. This link is to the Bureau of Justice. There are also pdf's and spreadsheets on the subject. http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/glance/incrt.htm Another interesting article; http://www.slate.com/id/2158317/ I think that prison should be reserved for the violent. Most none violent offender can be rehabilitated. I am one of those. I was just in court today. My last and final time in front of the judge. He and the prosecuter have determined that I am no longer a danger to society. I was a repeat DUI offender. I never wrecked a car nor did I hurt anyone. I did break the law and knowingly did so. The prosecutor in St. Charles, Mo., Tim Braun wanted me to do 5 years in the state pen. What good would it had done? I did far better not being incarcerated. Had I gone to prison, I would had walked out of there more likely to offend again. Recidivism often is a problem but at different levels depending on the offense. An alcohol offender tends to repeat a number of times before they learn not to drink. 7 dwi's for me. Prison would had only delayed offenses. Most arose from riding at high rates of speed. My first was in 77. Then 79, 84, 86. One was in Sturgis in 92 for a 100'+ burnout(I have the police report and can send ya a scan if you think that is bullshit) leaving the Broken Spoke heading towards Buffalo Chip. I had dranked only 2 the entire day and just had those two before leaving the bar. One night in jail and then a $400.00 fine the next day. I was drinking only hours after leaving court and got another in 94 and then one in 95. To some extent the thought of imprisonment weighs partly on my desicion not to drink but the great weight is the help that kept me from drinking. I did all of the states programs. Prison programs or lack of have shown to be only effective if continued after release. Incareration tend to cultivate ill regards for the system. A good number of guys I rode with back in the day are in prison. Most are repeaters. None were in any type of program other than monthly meets with their parole officers. The guys that I do know who where placed in probation programs have fared better and still doing good. Other than those involved in violent offenses, there are other options that should be considered for those convicted. (I personally did not think that even Scooter Libby deserved prison and the same for Martha Steward or any one convicted of such types of offenses. Huge fines and monitoring is the better option. Even though some can easily afford the fines.) From what I have read tonite on a number of websites, the majority being the Federal Bereau of Justice and State Justice Departments, drugs/alcohol tend to have the highest rate, violent offenders tend to come in below drugs. Programs designed to reduce the number of repeat offenders show that if offered do reduce the number of repeaters. This link is report from Ca. PREP program. It is interesting. http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:ss6rPo4rM00J:www.secondchanceprogram.org/pdf/CSUSM_Report-Summary_RecidivismFindings.pdf+recidivism+report+2006&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Odd, I was just thinking about him today. Glad you posted this. He is missed but, remembered. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
