...yeah..a top speed of 25 MPH and a 50/50 chance of breading down.

[ScottinVA]

breading=breaking

There is probably no gold there. Just a Potemkin village. One tends to cut corners on things that aren’t really important.

Wasn’t the inventor of those things killed ... by going over a cliff while riding one?

[steelyourfaith]

Thanx for the ping Army Air Corps !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

>>> Wasn’t the inventor of those things killed ... by going over a cliff while riding one?

Yes but that wasn’t a design fault in the machine. You drive off a cliff, you have to expect unwanted results.

[Outlaw Woman]

It was quite the thread if I remember correctly. :O

[FreedomPoster]

Just damn.

American readers worried over the security of their national gold reserves will be reassured to hear that apart from the military the bullion depository is also guarded by the United States Mint Police, who are equipped with bicycles.

LOL!

It was definitely there in 1977. I was part of the casual labor (read “college students on Summer break”) who moved ~47,000 bars in support of a Treasury / GAO audit. And the other sealed vaults had plenty of gold, you could see though the ventilation holes.

[Lee'sGhost]

Redundant.

“If you have to plug it in, it’s really not that green, is it?”

There’s the revelation.

“Rob Schiller and I were company commanders together in Korea. I’ll let my absence of further comment speak for itself.”

LOL

REMF extrordinaire I take it.......

Dean Kamen is very much alive. You're thinking of Jimi Heselden, OBE, who went off the cliff in trying to be courteous and give more clearance to a dog walker. Mr. Heselden had bought Segway, Inc., but had nothing to do with the invention of that device; he had made his fortune via the development of the "HESCO bastion" gabions used to fight flooding (from Katrina, for example).

Ft Knox was until a few years ago the home of the Armor School, what’s next solar powered M1s?

[Gondring]

Horses are faster and don't throw treads... why do they have to mess with all this new-fangled stuff?

[patton]

I sow that HC special on Ft. Knox last night - pretty interesting.

The crown jewels of Hungary & the Magna Carta? Who knew.

[stan_sipple]

These wont work when patrolling the Dixie Dieway Hwy 31w
