Great pictures! Stunning scenery! The only thing older than 250 years in the US are some of the trees and all the rocks!
There seem to be so many motor ferries on the Mediterranean Sea! Plenty to tour ferry to ferry!

Will this help your new electrician? Not sure what nationality this diagram intended but it will assist you as it has me many times.

I have the box, Tom, with layers of address labels, yours and mine! It has the adapter harness to connect with the side-by-sides system. I am betting I put it in a 'safe' place around here somewhere! It is REAL SAFE! Har, har!

General Discussion / Kymco tool
« on: December 11, 2025, 08:46:41 PM »
Years ago I loaned out my Kymco code reader tool to Stig so he could beat up his dealer to actually honor the warranty on his Like 200i (and it worked!). He returned it, of course, after it helped solving his problem.
I told you that to tell/ask/beg this: I cannot find the tool now! I dimly recall sending it to someone...I think...please send it back if I loaned it to one of you guys..OR..tell me I GAVE it to you SO I WILL STOP LOOKING FOR IT !! Har, har!
Hey! I'm 85 and that's the age of 'hereafter' : walk into a room wondering 'what am I here after?!' and never ending hunting for stuff!

« on: December 09, 2025, 10:01:27 PM »Wow! ...and Merry Christmas to you, too, sir! What a kind gesture. I hope someone takes you up on your wonderful offer.Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas to you, too!
If I didn't live about 600 miles from you I might let the GTi300 follow me home!
Merry Christmas, Karl.
As it stands right now, gotta guy on ADVrider.com forum coming this Thursday for the both of them. I think he will actually use both and keep them going. I just refuse to see them deteriorate from non-use.

For Sale / Re: DT300i and GTi300 Foe sale
« on: December 08, 2025, 01:14:31 AM »
Bump: no real interest here or near here. These excellent rigs are just gonna deteriorate with many miles left in them.
Make an offer, ask questions, show up with a trailer...I am easy...can't stand to see them rot. These come with spares and logbooks.

Well, got all switches working with contact cleaner and getting a whole three responses to buy, none serious. Grandson who can sell ice cubes to Eskimos baffled.
So here is what I am considering: if this lackluster response continues, I will announce on here that the first one who shows up with a trailer big enough to haul both away with included spares gets them. A donation would not be refused but is not required.
I would rather these scoots go to an enthusiast who would care for them properly than be sold to some red neck who would destroy them for fun.

Radios
Karl, when I was in Vietnam, late 1960's, I bought a Zenith Trans-Oceanic radio.
Big thing - took a lot of D batteries!
It had a knob on the L side, turn it to rotate to different 'bands'.... not that I knew a thing about this. It was new - but the manual didn't make it to our compound.
Pretty sure some were short wave.
Whenever I was back at my hootch at the 71st Evac Hosp I'd try to get something, anything, on it from back in The World.
I ran an 'antenna' wire along the top of the sandbag wall, outside. No idea if that helped anything.
We could get AFVN, of course (think Robin Wms), but that was out of Saigon, or someplace in-country. That was akin to being on Mars, getting music from DJ in a tent on Mars.
"Back in the World" was what we wanted. The USA.
A few times I got San Fransico - maybe Australia.
Wish I'd been able to bring that thing home - no dice. Got $50 for it.
Thanks for posting Karl!
Stig
I do not think I ever told you guys this one about a duty day aboard an LST based in San Diego, CA. This was my first tour as a Mustang LT(jg) Engineering Officer [LT(jg) = 1st LT in other services]. I had duty that day as CDO (Command Duty Officer) and was prowling the ship to bolster the troops on watch and self-satisfying that she (the ship) was not sinking, on fire, being threatened by pirates..you know, you seen the movies! I came upon Radio Central and looked in on the man standing watch there. He was RD2 Robert Bokum, one of the brightest men I had encountered in my 8 to 9 years of service. RD is radarman or radar operator and he was tasked cross rate as radioman for in port duty which is very busy copying and printing a ton of message traffic coming over shortwave radio. In the midst of this tiny radio room was a Zenith Transoceanic portable radio. E-5 Bokum explained that one of the ship's receivers was out of service and he hooked his personal radio up to the system to copy one of the important teletype message broadcasts!
This is an example of the beyond outstanding men who populated my Navy from 1959 to 1977!
Tom, you were right on track by stringing wire for your excellent receiver! The more wire the better for receive!
SEA STORY FINAL. OUT.

Hi ! Remember me? Har, har!
Started readying the DT for spring to sell. One brake switch won't and the start switch won't either. Had a perfect spring day today to fiddle. Screw driver and a can of contact cleaner and all switches will !
She started after two revolutions like always! I be clam happy!
I pray all of you have successful spring rides that lack any pain or abrasions! I am busy with honey-do's and building kit radios for other hams who are real operators.
May God bless you all !
