![]() ![]() Though this fine yellow 55 Panhead will stay in the Parham family, hundreds of other motorcycles and thousands of pieces of memorabilia will be offered in the John Parham Estate Collection Mecum Auction at the National Motorcycle Museum, Anamosa, Iowa, September 6 – 9, 2023. In 1966 a new OHV engine design came on line, the one we now refer to as the Shovelhead. In 1952, foot shifting became an option, in 1958 rear suspension became standard with the introduction of the Duo-Glide, and in 1965 electric starting came along with the Electra-Glide, the last model Panhead. The forks, headlight nacelle, dashboard, distinctive fenders, tombstone taillight and chrome speed stripes were among those components that received a re-design. The distinctive valve covers are what led enthusiasts to refer to this engine as the “Panhead.” In addition, the valve lifters were switched to hydraulic and lubrication as well as induction and combustion were improved. Though the bottom end was little changed, for the first time in many years, the heads were cast from aluminum. Not since 1936 had Harley’s big twin been given such a makeover.Ī new OHV big twin engine was first offered in 1948 in 61 and 74 cubic inch versions. Motorcycle Details: 1955 Harley-Davidson FL Hydra-Glideīeginning in 1949 the all new design Hydra-Glide with a hydraulic fork was introduced. I’m just happy to still own a bike that went through so many trials and tribulations with me, a bike that means so much to me.” The 1955 Harley-Davidson FL will remain in the family, going to John and Jill’s son Zach and then to the grandkids. Jill’s happy we got it restored back to its original yellow. ![]() In raw dollar value the yellow Panhead is well down the list in Parham’s collection of over 250 motorcycles, but Parham then offered, “While I have been lucky enough to gather many great, rarer and much more valuable bikes in my collection, the ’55 Pan has the greatest sentimental value to me it ties to my life experiences with my wife Jill and also to the development of J&P Cycles. ![]() But in their day, John and Jill came out on top through very close attention to the details of the business, sometimes ignoring “experts,” sometimes listening, but always following their instincts.īack in the 2010’s, when asked how many Harleys he then owned, Parham said probably about 65, with some really great bikes including a 1908 “Strap Tank” Harley. Over the past few decades, times have been good and times have also been tough for members of the motorcycle industry like the Parhams. DealerNews, a venerable motorcycle industry publication once called J&P Cycles the largest after-market motorcycle parts retailer in the world. Most know John and Jill as the founders of J&P Cycles. Those are the high points of John and Jill Parham’s lives with John’s favorite Harley-Davidson, and he owned many. The bike suffered ups and downs similar to those of our lives and our business, even kept us in business when money was tight.” We started our swap meet and catalog business small, began to grow, got successful, then went out of control. Some years back the late John Parham told the story. “The bike sort of tells the story of J&P Cycles. This time for good, and it gets restored yet again to its original yellow. A 1939 Harley and the yellow Pan are hocked to cover payroll and a delinquent bank loan payment. In 1991 expenses at J&P Cycles get way out of control. Five years later the Panhead burns in a fire at J&P Cycles. Putting together about all the money they had, including their IRS refund, they buy it a week later for more than they felt they bargained for. At an Indiana swap meet a man and his wife find the Harley-Davidson of their dreams, a yellow 1955 FL Hydra-Glide.

![]() It was fun, and I think I would go out looking for a dowsing no matter how my mother and father would give it to me afterwards. In the 1950s & 60s I was tossed in at every fire hydrant that was open on the Lower East Side. The Fire Department is not happy with that…it’s one of the reasons playground renovations include fountains that kids can play in.

Everything I have read says yes. What Im looking for - 1) Up on plane faster with less effortĢ) Steady speed with little throttle adjustment Tabs are out of the question, they ruin the wake and defeat our purpose. a hard cut by the rider will slow the boat down by 2-3 MPH which means the driver is constanly playing with the throttle to maintain speed.ģ) Beginers are extremely hard to pull because I have a hard time staying on plane (due to #2 in many cases). got a wakeboard tower installed this year and I expect this to get worse because of the leverage the rider will have on the boat.Ģ) We are constantly playing with the throttle to keep a steady speed due to the rider cutting in and out. but we waste alot of time/gas going WOT to get the rider out of the hole and then backing the throttle back down to get to 21 MPH. The problem(s) - 1) Boat gets up on plane "ok" not great when pulling a rider from the transom. I do NOT have a marina that will let me demo so I am trying to make the most educated decision I can. When the other user is out in the boat they have about 400lbs in the boat. When we are wakeboarding we commonly have about 1000lbs in the boat. But, im assuming im proped correctly (and running in the correct RPM range) from the factory so the 21" three blade is what im basing my decisions off of. I have NEVER had the boat at top speed (never felt the need) so i dont know where im at with top end. This is a "Family" owned boat however I only use it for wakeboarding and the other user just cruises with it. but couldnt find the answer to my specific situation.Įxisting setup - 2006 Crownline 202, 5.0L, 1.62 ratio Alpha 1, 21P alu 3 blade prop that came with the boat. Tried search for this question, found alot of info. gotta say this is the most comprehensive boating forum I have found on the net. ![]() Than it’s two thousand, then three thousand. I’m looking at the depth gauge and I’m at a thousand feet in the first like couple of minutes. The surface just receded,” he said in the video. “I took off like a shot, fastest I’ve ever seen. In a National Geographic video and essay, he described the experience that began with an early morning descent. Missing Titanic sub search continues as air supply onboard dwindlesĬameron took cameras to document the entire trek in the western Pacific. They show the sub sitting in a cradle-like flotation device in the Atlantic Ocean. The photos were posted on a dive participant's business Instagram page. One of the individuals on the missing sub to the Titanic posted photos of it on Sunday before its launch. That creates the sense of it being possible.” I just had to build the rest of it! That was important. I contacted them, and they sent me a sample of Plexiglas,” Cameron recalled. “He actually sent me back the address of his contact at … the Plexiglas manufacturer…. To a then 14-year-old Cameron’s surprise, MacInnis responded. ![]() In his youth, Cameron took a trip to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, where he saw an exhibit of an underwater habitat designed by Joe MacInnis that prompted him to write a letter to MacInnis. “I think it’s the explorer’s job to go and be at the remote edge of human experience and then come back and tell that story.”Ĭameron told National Geographic that while he grew up in Ontario, Canada, hundreds of miles from the ocean, as a youngster he remembers “watching with amazement” sea explorer Jacques Cousteau’s specials. “I think the through-line there is storytelling,” the director told NPR in 2012. “When I learned some other guys had dived to the Titanic to make an IMAX movie, I said, ‘I’ll make a Hollywood movie to pay for an expedition and do the same thing.” I loved that first taste, and I wanted more.”Ĭameron sees his filmmaking and sea exploration as connected. “The Titanic was the Mount Everest of shipwrecks, and as a diver I wanted to do it right,” he said. “I made ‘Titanic’ because I wanted to dive to the shipwreck, not because I particularly wanted to make the movie,” he told the publication. Here’s what the director has said in the past about the deep sea exploration.Ĭameron told Playboy in 2009 that it wasn’t a love story aboard the doomed Titanic that inspired him to make his hit 1997 film. While Cameron has not publicly commented on the current search for the Titanic tour OceanGate submersible with five people on board, he has personally made 33 dives to the wreckage site.ĬNN has reached out to representatives of Cameron for comment. Those paths have crossed in two of his biggest hits, “Avatar” and “Titanic.” James Cameron isn’t just one of Hollywood’s most successful directors ever, he’s also a lover of deep sea exploration. Whatever Bitcoin’s eventual fate, its blockchain technology is truly ingenious and groundbreaking. By some estimates, the Bitcoin network consumes as much energy as entire countries like Argentina and Norway, not to mention the mountains of electronic waste from specialized machines used for such mining operations that burn out rapidly. Transactions are processed by “miners” using massive amounts of computing power in return for rewards in the form of Bitcoin. Securities that enable speculation on Bitcoin prices are already regulated, but there is not much more the government can or ought to do.īitcoin is not innocuous. The government should certainly caution retail investors that, much like in the GameStop saga, they act at their own peril. As with any speculative bubble, naive investors who come to the party late are at greatest risk of losses. ![]() ![]() Banks have mostly stayed on the sidelines. Bitcoin investors seem to be relying on the greater fool theory-all you need to profit from an investment is to find someone willing to buy the asset at an even higher price.ĭespite their high valuations on paper, a collapse of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is unlikely to rattle the financial system. But scarcity by itself can hardly be a source of value. Bitcoin devotees will tell you that, like gold, its value comes from its scarcity-Bitcoin’s computer algorithm mandates a fixed cap of 21 million digital coins (nearly 19 million have been created so far). It has no intrinsic value and is not backed by anything. While Bitcoin has failed in its stated objectives, it has become a speculative investment. The government’s success in tracking and retrieving part of the Bitcoin ransom paid to the hacking collective DarkSide in the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack has heightened doubts about the security and nontraceability of Bitcoin transactions. Moreover, it has become clear that Bitcoin does not offer true anonymity. It is as though your $10 bill could buy you a beer on one day and a bottle of fine wine on another. ![]() Bitcoin’s unstable value has also made it an unviable medium of exchange. It takes about 10 minutes to validate most transactions using the cryptocurrency and the transaction fee has been at a median of about $20 this year. While Bitcoin’s roller-coaster prices garner attention, of far more consequence is the revolution in money and finance it has set off that will ultimately affect every one of us, for better and worse.Īs it grew in popularity, Bitcoin became cumbersome, slow, and expensive to use. It powered the shadowy darknet of illegal online commerce much like PayPal helped the rise of eBay by making payments easier. ![]() This made Bitcoin the preferred currency for illicit activities, including recent ransomware attacks. Bitcoin enabled transactions using only digital identities, granting users some degree of anonymity. Its emergence amid the global financial crisis, which shook trust in banks and even governments, was perfectly timed. Are cryptocurrencies the wave of the future and should you be using and investing in them? And do the massive swings in their prices-nearly $1 trillion was wiped off their total value in May-portend trouble for the financial system?īitcoin was created (by a person or group that remains unidentified to this day) as a way to conduct transactions without the intervention of a trusted third party, such as a central bank or financial institution. ![]() The 'Noįeedback' position makes the amp break up early kind of like a 5E3 Deluxe.
