CrazyDave it's a 1969 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Combination with a 472. I don't know the specific history of the car, but being a combination meant it was used as an ambulance and hearse.

The landau panels on the rear come off (has thumb screws and a lip to hold them on) to reveal windows on the sides in rear. Internally there are 2 flip up jump seats for EMS and various other things not typically found in a hearse. Yes there is a real casket in the back.

A friend will help you move, but a brother will help you move a body

Oh yeah, back in from a short 123 mile ride up through Deadman's Pass now RR 163 and back. I don't care who rides what or how much. As I told the Border Patrol agent at the checkpoint when he asked, "How far you going on that today?" After saying, I have no idea I told him in my best (which isn't) Dennis Hopper voice, "It's the ride man. It's the RIIIIDE!"

The real answer to the original question is whenever those kinds of questions arise in your mind, go ride until you don't care.

Sorry (not) couldn't resist.
Apparently Harley guys do... I haven't seen an iPad mount on a fairing for Honda so far..... Just saying...

I don't know. If I wasn't so lazy I'd figure out how to mount my Toshiba Thrive 8gb tablet between on the bars with wiring so I could use the Ulysses Speedometer app with it.

I just got a new Samsung Galaxy SIII ($49 w/renewing my Sprint contract. Hard to say no.) So I use my old HTC EVO in a cheap mount fro Walmart, but I need to wire it up someday for real use as it drains the extended battery pretty much by the time the fuel light comes on.

Maybe later if I ever win the bucks and get my new item of lust, the new Gold Wing F6B Deluxe I can put in the big display. I will however not hold my breath. Though the bike makes for a nice desktop wallpaper image.

This thread is important
Maybe the most important ever
The reason clear as crystal
The rhyme not so clever
