Yesterday's Weapons Forums

A new forum to me, so the obligatory intro. I live on the West Coast of Michigan, a transplant from the doomed state of Illinois. Been with the military for 23 years and still going, work a miltech job as a civilian. That got me a tour in Afghanland in 2011-12, already seen Iraq in 03-04, not missing much if you've never been there. This forum has a little bit of everything, old and newer bang bang toys, motorcycles, and other topics of interest to me. Hope to share some knowledge and opinions, always open to learning something I did not know also.

Welcome!!!

I look forward to your posts! Got yourself a trouble head?... Errrr... I mean shovel head? Nephew rides one. SW

Yep, my dads 68 glide. He owned it for 22 years from when he bought it around 1975, changed it around in 79 to what it looks like now. When he died I took it over in 2000 and still riding it, not as much lately though. Picked up a used 05 Ultra just before my deployment in 2011.

welcome , nice scooters

Welcome. Good to see someone who escaped from "The Land of Corruption".
I did 5 months in your town back in 71 on a paper mill rebuild.

That would be Sappe Paper Mill, it was running when I moved here in 2001. It's torn down now, been shut down for the past few years.

Always glad to see new blood on the forum so pull up a chair the fire is warm and the coffee is in the pot on the pot bellied stove. I'm not an american rust rider but used to ride rice burners.

we had a paper mill here untill the explosion a couple years ago , one dead and a few injured , a lot out of work , its still being torn down , some of the property re-purposed as they call it , trying to re-build the tax base and employment rolls ,

the dam and power plant still stand , it dates to 1903 , hoping they preserve at least that old facility - it still runs and supply's electrical power ,

A little late but....welcome from SD!
