Oh yeah, phoenix and tom . . .

Harley has been developing cats for their cycles. They will be internal to the mufflers. Don't worry, though. I suspect that they will be just as easy to remove as most people do the exhaust baffles. And the fuel injection will have to be remapped since you'll be changing your flow so much. I'm guessing those maps will be released as soon as the cats are rolling down the line.

I'm not a Harley rider because I feel that the individuality of all Harley motorcycles are lost anyway. The company totally sold out to the public and the image has become cheap with an expensive price tag on anything with the orange and black shield that's not a Phillips 66 logo. but that's my opinion. Rest assured, the booming big twin will continue to ride across the US cat free.

Sorry, what was the topic? Oh yeah . . . I paid $1.78 last night. I remember the last full service station in my hometown that closed the week I got a car. I got one fill up at about $1.06/gallon from the pimply highschoolers that were my friends working there. Then that Clark station closed.

I got my license 25 years ago- right around the time gas went to a dollar. The pumps didn't go beyond $.99! They had to set them at half a buck for a dollar's worth and so on. I remember my mom getting mad at me for putting gas in her car and going way over what she had because I didn't do the math at the pump.

That was right after the manditory 55 MPH speed limit was set in place. "Stay Alive- Drive 55" was the slogan. What a joke.

Back then a pack of smokes was also like 55¢ and a bag of weed was $30 for a "lid"!

Chris...you may have something here...the engineers at work are saying the same as you that the hydrogen thing they talk about (the govt.) is a lot of smoke and mirrors. They told me that they want to make the hydrogen out of NATURAL GAS duh where is the benefit?? One of the fuel system guys also said that the shortages are all political...sounds like 1974 again. Anyway, when I started drivin' in 1970 gas at the local Mobil was around 39 cents if I remember correctly. I ran out of gas one night in my '67 Ford convt. and it cost just over $9.00 to fill the 24 gallon tank...I was 'shocked'!!
