Ah, yes, one of Congress's eternal shames. They'd actually started
excavation for SSC when Congress withdrew/witheld funds and they had to fill
the hole in again. Tho' why they decided to build it in Waxahachie I don't
know, I'd have thought it'd be a constant battle against the fire ants.
(And IIRC from my co-PhD student who grew up there, it's a dry county;
wouldn't sit well with the Physikers!).

You are assuming he actually owns a motorcycle.

I still have the OEM Japanese tool kits from several motorcycles. I
always carry
quality tools with me when I ride though.
But the phillips screwdriver and the little t-handle that was also
included in the OEM tool kit works just fine for breaking tight
phillips screws loose, with the assistance of a few sharp blows with a
hammer.
I have owned exactly *one* impact driver. I sold it at a swap meet in
1969, and never bought another one, because they are *so* unnecessary.

Boy you sure told us all...how stupid and incompetant you are at
anything resembling motorcycle maintinence anyway. You keep talking
like this and you'll make the comments about stupid americans sound
true. You idiot.
