New England B.S. Thread

TT and laguna seca are on my bucket list
Hopefully going to Austin for motogp in April to cross that off

 

Scotland for this guy. Islay in particular, but I also want to visit Inverary Castle in Argyll because I'm descended from the Campbell clan.

The GF and I are headed to Jamaica in February, and the next trip we want to take after that is to AK, probably during the summer of '17.

Interesting decision, going from a mid-caliber to a pistol caliber. Particular reason why?

 

What do you guys look at when buying a mosin .

 

I don't smoke

Well, not that. I AM looking forward to some genuine Cubans while I sit on a beach sipping rum.

I looked for the same things as when I buy any other gun, personally. Made sure it was rust-free, had a shiny bore, a tight action, that the muzzle crown weren't damaged from careless cleaning, that the sights were intact and not bent/broken, etc.
The only thing out of the ordinary that I paid extra attention for was to make sure that the throat/action/barrel wasn't pitted from shooting corrosive ammo without a proper cleaning afterward.

 

Bore.

 

If I can't drive there I really don't feel a need to go....But that is just me. I have been shopping for a Mini Clubman S and hope to find one before spring that suits me...

The plan is to fulfill one major bucket list item in particular.... Tail of the Dragon (And in something more fun than my FJ or CRV if yano what I mean)

 

You're gonna want 2 wheels down there

 

This. I'm hoping to go next year now that I just got a new job.

 

If you opt for 2 wheels, don't be dumb with it. Dragon's Tail has eaten a LOT of bikes over the years because people misjudged the corners, how sticky their tires are, or how good of a rider they are.

 

Fuck that. I'm taking a bike I've never ridden with brand new tires down there

 

Pretty cool website, Killboy.com. They take pictures of every car/bike that goes on that road and posts them up on line

 

Matching serial numbers and a good bore. Problem is, it'll likely be caked in cosmoline so checking the bore will be difficult. If you're looking for a collector, there are a number of markings to look for also but I'm assuming you're just looking for a cheap shooter. I'd recommend the Archangel stock and Timney trigger, makes the old rifle a sweet machine!

What could possibly go wrong with that plan?

 

Cars too

Anyone taking a trip down there let me know. I can give you a route home through nc where you'll hit the snake, lil switz, Jonas ridge, and old 18, then just go home through va

 

I made the "chick on a bike" for the week my third month riding a bike ever

 

Pic's?

 

Once again, just learned how to ride at this point so don't judge me


Here's a more recent

 

Make sure it's a Harley, too. Nothing corners like a full-dress wide glide.

 

You could take a victory vision. They don't tip over

 

Nice
