I met site member Bubba_T about 20 years ago when I was a designer for Bath Iron Works dealing with emergent issues requiring design changes to the DDG-51 Class Arleigh Burke Detroyers while they were in a shipyard for scheduled maintenance. Bubba_T was the government's Industrial Manager for these "availabilities" as they're called. (That means he signed the checks ) He used to say to me- - - "damn it Brian, I'm only asking you for a Volkswagen solution to the problem and you keep giving me Cadillac solutions " I can't help but remember him saying that as I read some of these threads on saddlebag stands and tourpack wall hangers etc etc. What's next, side panel holders ? Oh what the hell, Icybay has a brand new never been used 2000 B/W/O SERG Fairing hanging on a wall in his mancave.
