    My contribution to bike pictures. My current ones are mostly dirt bikes. I rode my 1973 sort of a harley x90 (Italian) to an area bike night. and a Honda 350 that I've had since I was 16.

    You have a pretty nice system now, but hard to see how you'd go wrong with any of those. I'm pretty attached to some of my old gear as well, but I know it probably won't keep going forever. I do like my tyrs and urd , they have improved my system a lot. A better DAC is my current "want". When...

    growing up in Ia , local radio music choices were all pretty similar . pop chart music. and country . Then in the late seventies, an area radio station started playing "album rock" , where I first heard many of the bands mentioned here. That station was the first place I heard the entire...

    I've appreciated the music recommendations on this thread. As I have mentioned, I'm really just getting back into the music hobby. And the discussions about which recordings are higher quality. Many new songs -artists to seek out

    the bosch washer is generic looking enough that it blended in with the other appliances

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I've been looking at more expensive options since I sold the Impala, but in reality I'll probably end up with something like this, when it's time to replace the prius (still going strong after 16 years). I need more room for upcoming house and farm projects. If I buy something less expensive ...

    That was a great trade. I got my farm truck for list price in Dec 22 . Sold my old truck privately the following July for about 3 thousand above their trade in offer. Truck market weakened a lot after that . I see new trucks for sale now with dealer incentives again around here.

    I can't warm up to that bmw, but strangely I'm liking the cyber truck. My current short list is e63 amg wagon corvette e-ray and yeah... cyber truck... It probably won't win. so, who knows... I bought a prius after all. I liked that the pod car looked different than anything else on the...

    beautiful! Mercedes are probably my current favorites in the looks department. My Impala posted recently has been sold to fund other projects, so I've been trying not to shop for cars.:slight_smile: I do want something more sporty than my current rides... current ones are a 3/4 ton farm truck...

    wagons! Ort is a man of taste and refinement. every now and then I wish I had another wagon (last one was a 67 impala). Love the look of these, but kind of scared of the cost....and the rapid depreciation.. and the maintenance costs...:smirk:
