I guess you, papa, or I could be considered a "damned ol' grouch". Well, you and papa might be anyway, but I really don't think it applies to either of us. ;):D
papa, you're so old you wouldn't know for sure if anybody called you that, and even if you did you'd forget it in about 3 seconds anyway! But you would probably "grouch" about it for that 3 seconds! Oh, well that kinda' covers it don't it? ;):D
Earlier I wrote about my old shovel head with "left foot shift and right foot brake" ... when it was actually the opposite. Just goes to show how time and age affects the memory. I'm thinking it was a late 60's model, Oh well :rolleyes::).
It was a used bike when I bought it and had several mods done to it, but best I remember it started out as a Mod 3, but after the previous owner and I were done, it was by far more like a Scrambler (early bobber - sorta'). Dang, just thinking back on these times helps me understand just how long...

I always thought I wanted an M1 carbine, just never found the right one. Then dad passed on and left me his 'Universal'. But I made it a safe queen for a few years, and before I realized it I had included it in a bunch of guns I gave to my 'yard' son when the wife and I moved into the...
I too use a 10yd (30') zero to sight my red dot in. 9mm, 124gr bullet and hand loaded. At a velocity of just over 1100'/sec that puts my round at almost exactly the same elevation at 50yds as it is at 10yds. Nowhere in the 50yds does the round rise more than 1" above the line of sight. My...
