I have thought about doing that several times, but haven't gotten around to it. Just took a bit of studying. I had a novice license almost 50 years ago. I can hit 3 repeaters from home on 2 meters. Just another drain on the gun budget. Edited March 15, 2023 by shooterrex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Back in the day of CB radio the operator would bleed over the neighbors speaker. Is that still the case brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that still the case brother? I had a couple of CB's that would bleed over but they were running a lot more than the 5 watts allowed. I had a cb that at the drive thru at Hardee's. If I keyed the mic it erased all the order Information off their computers. There are filters available that screen out the interference on TV's.

That's a custom built HX40 super, capable of about 900 rwhp. Megasquirt fuel management system, big brakes and coilover suspension. It moves pretty well. I had two of those cars and totalled one!

98Z5V Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 VL1500? Or C90T? I love those bikes. You can keep the VZ-800s from back in the day, and their fuckin' wacky carb setup. That one's a motherfucker to carb-sync and tune right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Intruder Volusia 800. 1 carb. Had a buddy with the Vs1400 w/dual carbs. It was a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one was the VL800. Sidedraft carb behind the air cleaner. Way easy to take care of, and reliable. The VS1400 did suck to tune, too, you're right.

For me General was just going trough the question pool on QRZ dot com until I could get over 80% more than three times in a row. Went in and aced the exam. Being tech oriented in the military and personally, it wasn't all that difficult. And the additional bandwidth is a plus. I do want Extra, but I'm not to caring about it, might study during some down time... @Armed Eye Doc do it! There are a lot of old school pain in the arses, but it is pretty cool to chat with someone 800 or 7000 miles away like they are local.

Traveler Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) @shooterrex in the meantime, get on 6 and 10M - the bands are open more often that not, you really stretch out on 10M SSB. Edited March 27, 2023 by Traveler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already have 2 hand helds and a mobile. LOL! I've been licensed for over 30 years and since the first day, amateur radio has always competed with shooting sports for attention. For the last ten years, I have had all I need for three full shacks, be they mobile or fixed station, I sorta lost my interest in FM just due to local silliness, there is a local regional net I participate in somedays on 80M, and I have lately been listening to 10M to see how far away I can hear. Aside from the obvious advantages over cell phone use (911 took us for a ride there) with a decent antenna and general coverage radio, you can hear all kinds of things the general pubic knows nothing of. And one of the morning crew I hear is on the NC/TN border - I imagine KY is not a problem, and on 40 or 20M would be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of very few guys down here in AZ that can carb-sync one of those bikes. I've worked on them extensively, and in turn, ridden the FUK out of them to make sure I did a good job syncing them...

GStephen Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) We have a few farm animals on our 80 acres. My hands are too old to hand milk so I got a battery pack to make my milking machine portable. I leave the jersey out in the pasture with her baby and the angus cows. So, I go out with the side by side and milk her wherever I find her. She gets a bucket of her favorite food after so she cooperates Edited May 17, 2023 by GStephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
