1966, Fort Bragg, 1965 Triumph Bonneville..check out the single shoe front brakes, the kick starter, the right foot shift..and the cool Corcarhan jump boots along with the 3rd Special Forces Group Flash on the beret and the chapel. I sold my tourer Honda Goldwing back in the late 1990's. My wife and I were ready to buy another about 2010 when the IRS nailed us for an extra $20,000 in taxes that year. It's time to stick to the Jeep.

Nice pic, Argo. You said "It's time to stick to the Jeep". I agree wholeheartedly. After my "slide for life" 33 days ago I don't want anything under me that doesn't have a wheel on all four corners. My '87 Wrangler ............. 350 Chevy small block w/ Edelbrock intake and carb, and TH350 Chevy tranny. Just a hunting rig mostly, but with the power it's got, and an effective rear wheel ratio of 4.55, it's fun on dirt roads. I've since put 11.00 tires on it. They work PDG.   SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan's comments about living well and long parallel my thoughts and actions. At 72, I recently moved to a much larger house and three times the property of the place I vacated after 44 years. I continue to look for and buy expensive double guns that I know I will never have time to sell. I presently have three great guns in the mail, plan to buy a few more, and have no plans for a retirement home. I am also planning for a long life by recently selling my Harley Davidson that I have owned for 37 years. It is in the hands of a friend now, and it will never kill me. Dead is surely dead, but my friend Stan and I are not there yet. Bill Murphy in MD. Hey Bill, I'm with you. I'm staying in to the bitter end. To give up now would be like lying on railroad tracks in front of a train. This is what keeps me alive and makes me wake up in the morning. I hope my last purchase is delivered the day of my funeral.

Argo, that is a great picture. My Fort Bragg experience was in 1967 and 1968. Stan and Capt. Curl are two of my favorite gun guys, real men who hunt, shoot, and spend money on good guns. I will comment on the "guns in the mail" when they arrive. My friend Roscoe will be happy to know that all three are rifles.

Or I guess I could just block a ranter...but then I might miss the one thing he says in 50 posts which is informative and not personal or political. - unless of course the troll and the bull are the same person - it's happened before.
If you block the meatheads you will absolutely miss nothing other than the ill feelings they inspire. Probably not JMO I'm pretty sure that you can trust me on this one

The board is inspirational for the way it handles dedicated troublemakers, making it what Dave and members intended it to be, not a place for axes to grind.

My 1986 CJ-7 bought used in New Delhi in 1988, driven up to Lahore, Pakistan and back to India, and kept for 26 years. Driven all over India, the Balkans (in Greece), on the beach at Marathon and over Mt. Pendeli, and Italy-up the Dalmatian Coast shortly after the end of the Serb-Croat wars. Still was a daily driver in 2014 but didn't feel like I could spend the time restoring it and fighting some rust issues so sold it to an ex-Marine with kids who would raise them right. The French girl, who came out to the Congo in 1980, pictured along an irrigation canal in Uttar Pradesh in India, where we shot ducks, is still the same and still speaks beautiful French. The jeep was kept stone-cold-stock...as was wife. You can't do better than to raise a family with a Jeep and a William Evans 20 gauge double (her gun) (posted before but the photo was hijacked by photoshop) (and I admit as I did in the EM Reilly line that I shot an 870 until I ran across that Damascus barreled Reilly hammer double gun that satisfied an itch...sorry - I apologize).  (1950's advertising philosophy - pack the ad with honeys and they will respond)

We won't hold the 870 indiscretion against you, Argo. I just took possession of the first pumpgun of my life today, and I've shot doubles since 1959.
BTW, how do you not keep a wife "stock"?

Perfume. If she changed from Terry Mugler "Angel" It would not be the same. Ducks like "Angel" too..
