At random: "The Turkish skipper of ex-USS Tang, when asked about the difference between the German designed and built replacement boats for their retiring ex-US boats, is reported to have said, "American submarines are built for war, German submarines are built for export."

Have you ever heard of a radical radial engine on a motorcycle?

Apparently someone here in Rapid City built a bike with an old-time airplane engine - a seven-cylinder radial engine. It's called a Lucky Seven.

I'll send you the article if you'd like.

Yes... I have a magazine article on it. I'd love to hear it run but it's a little "over the top." It was gorgeous here in WA today - I had to ride with my jacket unzipped to stay cool - a welcome relief after a LONG span of crap weather.
