If my fighter pilot friends are wondering about me after my earlier post on the F-101B Voodoo air defense interceptor, they’ll surely think I’ve lost my grip now, fetishizing over—of all things—a bomber. B-58A Hustler with weapons (photo: USAF) You have to admit, the B-58 Hustler was a mean machine, IMO the coolest bomber [...]  Mystery pin The pin (left) came on the Cultie’s keychain. I’m trying to figure out whether it’s Ducati-related or if I can throw it away. It reminds me of the pin I use to release the slide on my 9mm pistol when I want to clean it.

Meanwhile, activists continue to push back. It’s [...] The Ducati lives again: new brakes, battery, and tires; carburetors fixed; lots of small but essential parts replaced. I picked it up yesterday morning. I would have ridden it home if it had plates I rode it around the neighborhood yesterday afternoon. The frame is small and the riding position too sporty for a [...] Mount Lemon, that would be, just a 26-mile ride from my home at the base of the Santa Catalinas in northeast Tucson.
