[beezer66]

For one of my other toys, a 1966 BSA Lightning motorcycle. Birmingham Small Arms. Even my motorcycle was built by a firearms maker. I like bikes and guns, so I like the idea that both are made by the same company, examples: BSA, Iver Johnson, FN, and Benelli.

(And yes, I know I misspelled "Flys". That was deliberate, as there seemed to be too much linkage to the two-winged nuisance, otherwise.)

Where's the seat, and how the heck do you hold onto that thing?

 

[gehrheart]

Mines is simple,
First Initial, followed by last name.

Not very creative.

Just who I am.

Just wondering,but have you been launching any of these down off the Kalifornia Coast lately

 

[deadmeat08]

I went to Norwich University, a military college in Vermont, I was in the Military Police Platoon, Ceremonial Company, Provisional Battalion, class of 1992. Wanted an email address that my rook (freshmen) buddies would be able to remember.

 

[gaijinsamurai]

I was living in Japan when i started joining internet discussion forums (mainly, militaryphotos.net).

Most people know what "samurai" means (literally, "one who serves"), and as someone who served 11 years in the military and five as a parole officer, as well as having an interest in Japanese military history, I thought it fitting. "Gaijin" means "foreigner" (literally, "outside person") in Japan.

btw, my wife is Japanese, and our kids dual US/Japanese citizens

black powder rocket or what fuel source?

[atypicalparkie]

Huh, I thought I'd already posted to this thread?? 'Atypicalparkie'= I have what they call Atypical/Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease, diagnosed 7 yrs ago ... but according to the med texts there is no 'typical' parkinson's, so I guess I'm typical by being non-typical
It's all good though, it mostly affects my (previously) dominant left side, so now I write and shoot right handed with few problems

 

[MA Duce]

After my favorite thing to make go boom. John Browning's immortal MA2 .50cal Machine Gun. "MA Duce" has been barking for the US since the 1920s. I am sure I could still field strip one blindfolded.

 

[magnum]

It's my favorite type of gun and what I've owned the most of over the years.
