Roger I think that's the show I mentioned. It wouldn't happen to have been on d****very ch****l would it? If you believe most of the people who are predicting the world is going to end then I suppose they're going to blow everything on drink for one massive party. I feel sorry for the people who have been convinced into thinking the world is going to end. I've heard of numerous cults that have started, where people are donating all there money and the leader will "protect them during the transition". Personally I don't believe any of it. I'm an atheist so I don't tend to believe any of the spiritual stuff that people believe in. I won't go into much more detail, when my parents found out I was atheist (they're very religious, especially the whole of my moms family) I ended up staying at my grandparents house for a couple of days. Roger isn't the astronomical claim meant to be something like the sun and the earth will line up in such a way that it will reverse the earths magnetic fields ( cause north and south to move)?

Thanks Brian! Ian isn't going to the debs so we wouldn't have the problem of sharing an id. I've still got a few months to think about this and plan it out, so I'll keep you guys posted. Roger, I know what you mean (about the pictures) but I'm going to delete th off my photobucket so they won't show up in the post.

I was talking to my friend Jen yesterday ( the girl I'm going to the debs with) about trying to find someone to do a good fake id, and she suggested I try and borrow our friend Ian's id. He's still 17 now, but will be 18 by October ( when the debs is on). Apparently we look quite similar although I can't see the resemblance. Ian is on the left and I'm on the right. Can anyone see the resemblance? And I suppose y'all deserve to see a picture of me and Jen. This was taken last year in our dressing room.

Hoss I'm not sure if you were saving this for another post, forgot about it, or just didn't know about it but the Hazzard County Fairgrounds in The Rustlers was filmed behind the Boars Nest. There's a great shot near the end of the episode which shows Rosco's car in the center of the picture and the back of the Boars Nest in the center back. It's in the last 5 minutes of the episode,when the two horse nappers drive into the fairground and spot the patrol car. I'm sorry I can't narrow it down any more than that, but hopefully you can spot the Boars Nest.

Hey General welcome to HazzardNet y'all may notice we do things a little different here.

I'm still looking for someone who can make a good fake id for me. I won't go into specifics but my friend knows someone who can do very realistic fake ids, so hopefully it will work out. I need it only to get into the debs, I'm not going to be using it to buy drink or cigarettes after the debs ( I don't smoke anyway, I can't stand the smell of smoke).

Welcome to HazzardNet Richard!! It's great to have you joining us y'all may notice we do things a little different here!!

Hey y'all I'm watching a show on tv at the moment that's about what's going to happen on December 21st 2012. Some of it is pretty believable but most of it seems dramatized. Personally I don't think the worlds going to end I'm December but I'm just curious to see what you guys think. It's always interesting to see people's opinions on topics like this.

Oh a banana bike? They're kind of like the Raliegh Choppers. I don't know if they're big over the pond but in Ireland and England they're few and far between. So it looked a little like this? Since you've mentioned banana bikes, I'm considering trying this as my next project

Hey y'all I've had this idea for a while, but it seemed that whenever I'd try to do it I always faced some obstical that forced me to stop. Now however I'm trying it. I've always been fascinated with motorbikes,mainly Harleys. Around Christmas of last year I began toying with the idea of fitting a gas engine from a lawnmower,chainsaw or weed wacker. Last weekend I put that idea to paper, and within three hours of deciding on this project bought a bike. The badge says it was made in west Germany, so it's atleast 25 years old. And because it's German it's built like a tank. Unfortunately I found this out the hard way after I had broken seven drill bits trying to drill holes into the frame for supports and mounts. I swapped out the original forks, which were designed to hold a 24 inch wheel,with a set of suspension forks which are designed to hold a 26 inch wheel. I want the bike to have a chopper kind of look, so I turned the forks around the wrong way so the front wheel sticks out further than it originally did. It also came with a rear rack. This is perfect for my design because I'm going to mount the engine on the rear rack, and have a chain going from the rear wheel to the engine. Here's a picture of the bike in it's current state. You can see how far out the wheel is. I've yet to find an engine, but still have loads of numbers to call.

Hey guys I went out earlier today to do a little more work on the bike, but unfortunately because I left it outside for so long and because we've had mostly bad weather for the last few weeks, the pedals and cranks seized up. Rather than scrap the entire bike I just removed the seized pedals, and fitted a saddle to the end of a spare set of handlebars to use as an extended seat post. The result is this I haven't taken it far yet, just a spin around the block, but it's a nippy little bike that would probably be ideal for cycling in Dublin city. I've also got a few bikes to paint, so once I'm finished school I can hopefully get them all done.

Hey y'all One of my friends recently asked me to go with her to her debs (the Irish equivalent of a prom). We're really close and have both agreeded not to become boyfriend and girlfriend incase we end up fighting and falling out. Anyway my problem is that I won't be 18 when the debs is on. We both thought that the age wouldnt matter, but now the parents association and venue staff are saying that all people under 18 must be out of the venue by midnight. Apparently I'm going to be one of the only if not the only 17 year old there (most will be eighteen and a half, some even nineteen). We first started jokingly saying that I should get a fake id of some kind, but now it's become more serious because of the curfew. I've no issue with not being able to buy or consume alcohol (I do drink occasionally but can still have fun without getting drunk) so I'd only be using the id to stay after the curfew. The least illegal document I could use is a student card, which is basically used for getting discounts in shops and on public transport. I haven't got one at the moment, and if I was to get a forged one it would only be for this occasion. However I'm still not sure what to do. My friends are saying I should, my gut feeling is indecisive and I can't ask my parents because they'll flip and might not let me go to the debs (they're a little weary as it is because as far as they know I don't drink). I was wondering if I could get y'alls opinions on this. Thanks

I think it was only the first few cars that had the tag on the dash. I know in the later years the WB crew left a tiny engraving in the left bottom corner of each rear window to tell each car apart.

Hey y'all Every year in my school we have something called the Gold Medal Essay. It's basically an excuse for teachers to see how creative we are. There's five classes per year, and in each class there's one winner. My class did the essay after the Easter break. We were supposed to plan it over Easter but being Irish I kept putting it off and thinking that "sure it'll be grand". On the day of the essay I still decided that I'd "be grand". When english class started I looked at the titles for a few minutes. I can't remember much of them but two that I remember are "After the War..." and "Things That Make Me Happy". I chose the latter, and immediately began waffling on about whatever came into my head. After about 30 minutes I had written about acting,going out,bikes and British comedy and had managed to spread it over about 2 a4 pages. I saw that I had 50 minutes left, so I decided to write about the relationship between Boss Hogg and Rosco P Coltrane, both on screen and off screen. I wrote about how they could take something as simple putting a phone back on it's cradle, and turn it into comedy gold with everyone ending up on the floor in a tangle of flailing limbs. I also wrote about how over 50% of their dialogue was off the cuff, and how Rosco ate a sandwich at Boss Hogg's wake in the Boars Nest. Because of this I managed to fill an extra page and a half, and I also won the gold medal in my class I'll try and type out some of the essay and post it in the fan fic section

My favorite has to be in Cale Yardborough Comes To Hazzard. There's a scene in the Boars Nest where Bo and Luke bring Mr Garvey to talk to Cooter about repairing the turbo charger. Daisy's wearing the Daisy Dukes and a yellow tank top. I don't know why but for some reason I love that combination

Hey y'all As I'm sure most of you know all about the Titanic, and what happened to her. Well I can't believe I'm saying this but it's been 100 years since the Titanic sank, along with the death of first,second, and third class citizens, along with most of the crew. I'd just like everyone to pause for a moment, and remember the 1514 unfortunate souls. Some of them could have been like you, beginning a holiday and looking forward to rest and relaxation. Or maybe they felt that their country had no more to offer, and were emigrating to start a new life. You don't have to have any sort of faith to do this, for instance I'm atheist and I'm still taking a minute out to remember the 1514 unfortunate souls. And just incase you're having a hard time imagining 1514 people gone, try to imagine everybody that you have ever known, or maybe possibly everyone from HNet (is there that many members?). I hope that helps. But seriously, let's all take a minute to remember the dead...

The new rear end gives the bike about the same amount of lift as the old blocks did. Just to give you an idea of the height of the bike, I'm 6 foot tall and the saddle is level with my ribs... And for a visual comparison, check out the General's handlebars in relation to the Fall Guy's handlebars... Another thing I fitted was a rear rack I had lying around. Usually they can't be fitted to bikes of this kind because the rear suspension allows the rear wheel to move up and down, and mounting the rear rack would prohibit this from happening. However because of the new rear lifters, I can mount the rear rack and not worry about suspension issues. This picture gives you an idea of how the lifters were fitted,how they look,how the rear rack fits and how much ground clearance I have.

This is when I first assembled it. You can see how bad the paint had gotten. Even as I was working on it, the paint was coming off in my hand. As with the original wooden blocks I'm taking advantage of the mounts intended for the wheel. I originally set out to cut off the excess and grind down the sharp edge,but I ended up sanding off most of the paint as well. I got a few funny looks as I went up and down my street. The only problems I have with this bike is that it takes a lot more power to start off and maintain any sort of speed. I told my dad this and he described it as fitting massive wheels to a car. Because of the extra weight starting off in first now seems like starting off in 2nd or 3rd...it made sense when he first explained it to me anyway haha

I spoke with my dads friend today. He suggested that I cut the back off another bike and bolt it to the main bike. Luckily enough the 2nd unit Rosco bike was mostly damaged at the front, and the rear end remained practically unscathed. I cut the entire back section out earlier. The only problems that the rear end had was some flaked paint, but that doesn't matter because I'm going to eventually strip the paint off and repaint it.

You mean this picture? It looks like it's from "My Son, Bo Hogg". The pushbar also bolted to the bumper on some cars. Bear in mind that the small pushbars were stock, and were designed for pickup trucks. And there wasn't anything to weld the pushbar to under the car. That's another reason why they switched to the wider pushbar, so they could weld them to the frame.
