125-180 hp would be nice, so it could climb faster to
altitude for doing spins. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm "Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... | Jim Macklin wrote: | | A Skipper with a big engine | | A big engine? |

The best round engines are turbofans, but the 985 is nice on
a BE 18, too bad the wings are so old. -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm "Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... | wrote: | | Aha.

Right now I'm walking, but when the lottery comes through, I'll get an XL1200R and maybe a V-Rod with mid-mount controls. Hey, I think arriving with the bike in an airplane would be cool. Maybe land in town and taxi down main street. No roids, just old. Bah. I'd rather die than be seen trailering my motorcycle to a rally. My one and only time to Sturgis, at the Glencoe campground, there was some kind of country & western artist(s) entourage camped far across the way from our tent with a couple big huge shiney custom painted black and silver "greyhound" style tour buses. I don't know who they were since I don't do C&W music, and there were no names painted on the buses but one afternoon a big, very expensive-looking helicopter, painted in the same exact black and silver color scheme as the tour buses buzzed the campground and then landed next to where the buses were parked. The occupants unloaded a minibike from the rear seating/baggage area of the copter and one of them (presumably the main artist or lead singer himself) started it up and rode around the buses while the crowd that had gathered went abolutely nuts. That was in the early 1990's a couple years before I ever got into aviation, but looking back, there would've been enough room (with appropriate planning of course) to have brought in and landed a Helio Courier with a Harley strapped in the back! Now that would be a grand entrance to the Sturgis event, and cool enough to be "socially acceptable" unlike trailering your bike there. |
