SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson

I'll hide it in my gas cap.

John, put those suckers up for sale permanently in the "for sale" area, man. may not be enough activity here to make ya rich, but i'm sure some forum members would prefer to hand you some money instead of Custom Chrome or something.

i'll show them to my buddy Tomo too. i'd bet he'll want to start offering them for sale over here, or at least buy some to use on his builds.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

I think I may have a couple left. I had a guy cranking them out on a cnc lathe for 10 bucks a pc, but the place he worked at moved closer to their main customer and he lost his job.

Dan if you want...see if you and Tomo can capture the market over on your side of the ocean. If you can get them made up cheaply...pressing the shells in is easy.

the primer cap you just soak in anti-freeze (ethylene glycol) for a couple hours and the primer just dissolves, so no danger there.

SELF INTRODUCTION: I once was the "CAD Wizard", now I'm a "CAD What's it"!!!

Wow! 200 words? I don't even know 200 words! And I can't spell the words that I do know! … but, here it goes:

So, I've had a blast in the past on the old CBH forum, and I truly appreciate all information I've gathered there. I've met some great people at the old site. My collaboration with John (hosedragger) on his various projects was quite rewarding, a virtual sense of accomplishment. Thanks to Ken (blacsmith), I’ve had the opportunity to interact with my fellow countrymen, as well as other like-minded individuals.

I've recently joined the ever-increasing number of unemployed people here in Quebec, Canada. I still have a passion for motorcycles and nearly everything else that is motorized and mechanized, although my funds are limited more now than they’ve ever been. So, I must continue to live my passion vicariously thru the fellow members of this board … if they’ll allow it. Maybe, I might even have the opportunity to participate in conversations, thought-swapping, and interesting projects.

I’m a man-of-few-words! I do hope this is enough to gain acceptance here.

Thank, Wendell (Kraut) Pehlemann

Billy Lane kind of lost his place in line to complain about patents and such.
P.S. I think Jesse tried the patent route as well but in the real world product availablity is what rules.

I can't remember where I read it but...( and take this with a grain of salt because you know how accurate most chopper stories are when dealing with celebrities)

Billy Lane considered applying for a patent but the six bullets design was around for many many years prior to him using it. So he would of only been able to have patented, based on design of function. And really how much could you patent a basic cap and thread?

Not at all sure if thats true...I did read it in print, but you know how that goes. -John

I learned long ago that if a guy is so insecure in his own works that he has to try and patent some neat little design then he's also probably insecure with the size of his dick and I put both of these things at about the same ranking which is diddly-squat. I do respect copyrights but patents are just a freakin joke nowadays.
