    1944 Zündapp KS 750 | Germany 🇩🇪

    In the late 1930s, the Nuremberg located Zündapp Werke GmbH developed the KS 750 motorcycle. It was designed for off-road use and was used for reconnaissance, transport of personnel and supplies, as well as casualty evacuation. During the WW2 Zundapp KS 750 had been painted in two schemes: for European countries it was produced in dark gray and for North Africa in dark yellow.

    Zündapp KS 750 is powered by a 751 ccm 4-stroke twin-cylinder boxer engine with 26 hp at 4000 rpm rating. The ignition is designed with a magneto. Thanks to good waterproof and an air filter located at the top of the engine, the motorcycle is able to overcome shallow water obstacles with the engine partly submerged in water.

    Motorcycle with a sidecar weighs a substantial 420 kg, but it is easy to handle and reliable while operation. On both sides of the sidecar body ammunition bags are mounted while the front part is adapted for a machine gun.

    From 1940 to 1944 Zündapp Werke, GmbH produced 18,635 motorcycles model KS 750

    1941 Kurogane Model 1 "Fire Trike" | Japan 🇯🇵


    The Kurogane "Model 1" tricycle displayed at Motorworld museum was found in Malaysia in a very bad condition. According to the former owner it was possible to learn that in the past it was a fire tricycle, engaged in firefighting and debris removal on the territory of Japan, and later in Malaysia. History of two countries, Japan and Italy, is very similar in this respect – we have already shown you a similar fire-fighting tricycle, but produced by a famous Italian company - Moto Guzzi E.R. 1940.


    The Kurogane tricycle's engine, as on many other machines of the time, is a V-twin 1100 ccm engine turned across the frame for better cooling. The gearbox is assembled in a separate block, making it easier to access and replace engine parts when needed.


    The engine for water pump is the first-series Nissan engine and is still being restored.

  • Where Did You Take Your Slingshot Today?

    Quote from EjFord

    And she is a cute one. Home with the Slingshot running.... Got to Lake Villa 8:00 am Slingshot in the work area at 8:10 and Mark is going thru every thing...the Polaris digital wrench would open up and read anything. Changed couple of fuses and read a little... New battery and it read a little more but would still not turn over and start. Checked sensors --- all good. Pulled the start button...did not have a replacement in stock but it look good. after about 2 hours I decided to head out and let Mark do his thing. Told Chrissy Mark would pprobably have it fixed before I got home. I did stop and had lunch in Wheaton, IL with my Sister.... Chrissy called as we were finishing lunch and said it's fixed. Out of a cluster of 20 wires a mouse eat only one --

    power to the starter. About an inch of wire was all he needed for his diet.

    Going to have some deterrent products under the hood as well as setting out some traps....do have some mouse poison out. Kept in the same pole barn garage since Feb 2015 and never a problem before.l

    hopefully it was a cute mouse 🐭

  • Some Funny Comics I recently received in emails

    I was at the checkout of a local Walmart. The cashier rang up $46.64 charges. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and she returned the money again. I gave her the money back -- same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.


    They Walk Among Us! .....


    I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said 'buy one-get one free.' "They're already buy-one- get-one-free," she said, "so I guess they're both free." She handed me my free lattes, and I walked out the door.

    One day I was walking down the beach with some friends,

    when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!"

    Someone looked up at the sky and asked, "Where?"


    They Walk Among Us! .....


    While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north; because, he explained,

    he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime; she shook her head and said, "Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff."

    I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center.

    One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week."

    He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

    My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.


    They Walk Among Us! .....


    My friends and I went out to buy beer and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%.

    Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

    I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional, and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?" So I replied, "No Ma'am, The Pilot told us we're circling the airport, 3rd in line to land."


    They Walk Among Us! .....


    While working at a pizza place, I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone, and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into four pieces or six. He thought about it for some time before responding.

    "Just cut it into four pieces. I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat six pieces."


    Yep, they walk among us.... bless their hearts 😊😊😊
