Post by: bad Chad on July 01, 2015, 04:11:19 PM
He left from Aurora IL a few days ago, anyone know if he is still at?

He had best take the non speed bump route with that ground clearance.

He stopped here in Kingman on Rte. 66 a couple days ago for a meal.  www.kdminer.com

  Although it is a unique machine, I'm not so sure I would call it a motorcycle.

I agree, by no stretch of the imagination is that a motorcycle.  Personally I would much rather have an open cockpit roadster than something like that.

He stopped here in Edmond last Thursday.  I thought he was arriving on Friday and missed him.

The press said he was gracious and sunburned.

  Does it have phaser shields or a cloaking device?  Does it run on antimatter?

Good for him. At his age, just getting out of the Lounger is all good.  Interesting that the Rivet could only go in a straight line-kinda limits its usefulness.

He's 84, I hope I'm doing so good if I make it that far!

My thoughts too.   More power to him!    William Shatner has always seemed "genuine" for an actor, in that he never seems to take himself seriously.   I think he's missing that huge ego thing that plagues so many of his colleagues.

The new article referred to his "three-wheeled motorcycle".   I feel an empathy with him - I drove my wife's four-wheeled motorcycle (a Subaru Outback) to the grocery store today to pick up things for tomorrow's barbeque ....

No cloaking device, it's neither a Romulan nor a Klingon ship.  And, of course, it's powered by dilithium crystals.  Drop a few in your tank and feel the HP increase.

You're going to have to turn in your Geek Card if you're not careful.   A matter-antimatter reaction powers the Enterprise warp core.   The dilithium crystals are used only to regulate the reaction, not to power it ....
