Oh, I dunno about not understanding: I can remember the old 45"
flatheads, kick starting only, and the compression release.  When did
they stop doing it that way?

As for Evo Hogs - yes I agree. You can actually make money working on
them. It takes a lot of time and skill (in the words of Andrew Dice
Clay: "Yeah, I got dat' ") to get an old Shovel or Pan running right
especially if you're concerned about, ahem, "oil tightness". Yes, Evos
are better. Along with their (Japanese) Showa shocks, (Japanese) Keihin
carbs (Okay maybe those aren't so great) and (Japanese) Hitachi +
(German) Bosche electronics. I'm sure the V-Rod is very nice too. But
there's something about an old (American) Hog; including oil drips,
generator(!) and drum brakes. I guess if I have to explain - you
wouldn't understand...

Pushed by G H W Bush.  Passed by a Democratic House and Senate.  Signed
into law by Clinton in 1993, went into effect in 1994.  Both sides are
"party" to this one.

Incidentally, for all the "pre-AMF" Hog riders out there, the new
Evolution-engined Harleys are wonderful!  So are their Japanese-made
Showa shocks. 

I used to work with a guy who rode a V-Rod with the "foreign" engine.
It was designed by Porsche, and was very smooth and powerful.  The new
GM diesel trucks use an engine designed and made by Isuzu.  Both are
wonderful.  

Ironically, Boeing is outsourcing their aerodynamic work to a Russian
firm.  Who could have predicted that 15 years ago?

I was in the market for a commuter car a few months ago and balked at
the cost of a Civic (very good car) and bought a '99 Chrysler Concorde
LXi for almost nothing.  It is a nice, solid car with excellent leather
interior, decent performance, and I still get 28 - 32 mpg.  It is also
significantly cheaper than a comparable-year Civic after adding in the
higher loan payments and insurance on the Honda. 

I for one HOPE the US automakers will be able to pull out of their funk,
because they make some very nice vehicles now.  

I am very concerned about GM because they hold around $350B in debt
(that is a LOT of zeroes...).  Unfortunately their products now are very
high-quality, because their stock is tanking and they are on the verge
of collapse.
