The Indian 741 - During WWII, Indian made roughly 40,000 model 741 motorcycles for US Military use. This motor example sits in its original crate and packaging and has never been touched.

Obligatory pic....

„We're out here working on the new Knipex XXXXXXL 6FT Cobra® Pliers!“
Yes, that would probably be the right KNIPEX pliers for pipelines - if they existed
The KNIPEX Cobra® QuickSet 87 21 250, inserted into the photo by the AR function of our smartphone app for Android and iOS. Of course, the quickset is not over a meter tall, but "only" 250 mm long. Either way, it is an impressive pair of water pump pliers: it automatically adapts to all gripping widths up to 50 mm, simply by pushing it shut! And like all our water pump pliers, it bites mercilessly into the pipe with its self-clamping effect.

Waaaaay back in time I clearly recall a NY paper (maybe the Post) running this pic with the caption "the masked man and his faithful Indian companion". I can't find the original anywhere. Maybe it's been scrubbed.

The stunning James Webb Space Telescope image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth.

Looks like the Ritz Carlton compared to basic training accommodations at Ft Bragg in 1967. The Air Force would have been a far better choice than the Army (if I had a choice!) No picture available …cameras hadn’t been invented yet. They said if the barracks caught fire it would be gone in 10 minutes.

Sorta like the Saturday Night Live with a panel of all men discussing "women's problems"












2332cc EFI turbo engine is getting shipped out. 385hp to the wheels at 20# so should be quite the beast in his Karman Ghia
