Thanks, jrh.

Flynn's essay on FDR's silent revolution is one of my favorites, as is Chodorov's income tax essay. :)
I'm only on Chapter 4. I want to get to the chapter on 'soaking the poor'. Now I'm not going to get ANY work done tonight, thanks to you :mrgreen:.

I have still have to get this phenomenology shit down before I call it a night.

Phenomenology? Does that have anything to do with air induction systems for internal combustion engines? :lol:

I suppose it could...

When you're discussing basic, ontological, philosophical, and foundational truths, then yeah, it would apply to everything and anything.



On a side note, any specific type of internal combustion engines? I love a good 2 stroke motor.

Nothin better than the sound of a 2 stroke gettin in its torque band. My smallest 2 stroke spins at 53,000 RPM, it SCREAMS! Yeah you read that right 53,000. Its only .12 CI but puts out 2.3 HP and runs on Nitrous and methanol.

Me too. When I was a young guy I raced motorcycles in the Mojave desert. The best handling bike I had was a 125cc Sachs with a two stroke engine. It was punched out to 150cc and used a Montessa piston. It had a six-speed gear box and an Earls front end suspension. Man, I could fly on that bike across the open desert. I actually beat a 250cc Husquavarna in a drag race down a fire road on that thing.

And by the way, I hear that fdd is only good for two strokes. At least that's what all the ladies are saying. :lol:

I'm a vintage vespa and motorcycle guy. I have all kinds of 2 stroke motors laying around my garage - just no time to tinker around. My pride and joy is a 210cc, 24/24 carb'ed Vespa engine from 1977. That fucker is FAST and it's stylish!

Cool! :)

Another great dirt bike I had in the early '60s was a British bike called "Greeves." Again, the front suspension was Earls and it had a 250cc Villers engine. That bike flew too. I traded a 650cc Triumph desert sled straight across for it. Although the Triumph had the power (and could power slide like crazy) both the Sachs and the Greeves could run circles around it in the open desert.

By the way ... a friend of mine won the 250cc class race on Catalina Island back in the late '50s on a Puch that he bought at Sears. He modified it for dirt racing, and with his great skill as a rider, he just kicked everyone's ass on that little two stroker.

Here's some pics of some Greeves motorcycles with the Earls front suspension:



Here's a close up of the 250cc Greeves engine and gear box:

Beautiful. It's got the cafe racer style, which I love. In fact, I'm gonna go on a little ride right now. Once winter hits here, I store 'em all away.

They made a road racer too:



And they also made one of the best trials bikes for it;s time as well:



Are you familiar with trials competition, jrh? Some say that trials riders are the most skilled riders in all of motercycledom.
