Thanks to all who have responded, here is the link I posted from the rider in Maine who blogged about Malcolm:The Fastest Most Powerful Motorcycle In The World, (True Story) - Stromtrooper Forum : Suzuki V-Strom Forums The Fastest Most Powerful Motorcycle In The World, (True Story) -...

Dear brother .OrG members, this is not the way this story was supposed to end. Malcolm died on Monday in a collision with a truck. He had completed over 55,000 miles on his Honda 250 Rebel traversing most of the ‘America’s’ from Santiago Chile, to Terra del Fuego, all the way through...

:moon: $1,021 for 12 months - almost twice what I pay with State Farm. Happy to help bump up the quote quota but honestly I'm not too surprised by the outcome. Wonder why Geico is so non-competitive ????

Well .oRg-sters, Malcolm has made it to the top of Alaska, here is his story in his own words: "After buying my Honda 250cc Rebel motorbike in Santiago, I travelled to the southern tip of mainland Chile, beyond Punta Arenas, to start meandering north, and 18 months later I arrived at Prudhoe...

I got a bunch of these when I was selling a bicycle on Craigslist, same M.O., they'll send me a check and have someone else pick up the bike. My response was always polite but: 'I accept cash on delivery; no checks.' That always ended the discussion. As funny as it seems, when I bought my used...

The Pitbull will work fine as long as your front end is stock - e.g., not lowered. The fit is a bit on the tight side so you have to be carful when inserting the pin so you don't scratch the fender but overall it's not bad. Mine works great, go for it! -Jim

Greetings .oRg-sters... I am mounting new mirrors in an attempt to get a looksee behind me. With the stockers all I can see is the lane on either side of me - I can't see past my shoulders. Unfortunately the mounting bolts are too short to mount through my extenders and my local shops don't...

My baby is stock performance-wise. Yeah I've replaced brakes and lines and hung the Muzzy fan and the TRE, but otherwise I haven't made any performance mods, yet... I like the look of the single carbon can, e.g., Yosh's TRS, but I don't like loud pipes. I'm simply not into the noise. ??? I can...

Well folks, for those interested Malcolm made it to San Diego staying briefly with my folks there, pic's below, his last update mentioned something about being in Fort Bragg in northern California. Evidently he was only able to get a 90 day visa for the US so I guess he's accellerating his...

A brief update, Malcolm is currently in Flagstaff AZ - snowed in! I believe once the streets clear his plan is to head down to Sedona, then over to Prescott and from there over to Joshua Tree National Park. From there he's bound for San Diego and then all points north. For those of you...

Well .oRg-sters, Malcolm is alive and well and should be somewhere between Flagstaff AZ and Joshua Tree National Monument as we speak. Here's a couple of his last missives along with some photo's, enjoy: Hi Jim' Since my last up date I have been having a great ride through Mexico, New...

Earlier this week I posted about Rat Fink and Big Daddy Ed Roth, tonight I introduce my latest project from the Hawk Weird-Oh's series, meet Davy...:laugh:

Wow, denon970 - great shots. I presume these were from the Autorama? I really wanted to make the Pittsburg show a few weeks ago but the weather was crap and it's a 4 hour drive from here. Thanks for sharing, Roth's work brings back great childhood memories. Speaking of memories, I just got this...

For those of you who remember Big Daddy Ed Roth and his wonderful creations, here is the first plastic model kit I've constructed in decades. My next project will be 'Davy' from the Weird-Oh's series. Hey, I'm snowbound and have lots of time on my hands... :laugh: Enjoy! -Jim
