Large aperture apochromat at bargain price

Tue, 1 Jul 2008 04:21:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - This is very likely the lowest priced Apochromatic optical tube, the heart of a refractor telescope, on the market at this (relatively large) aperture size of 120mm. The objective lens is made of highly specialized "ED" Extra low Dispersion glass that...

Great Grab N Go

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 21:25:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - This is an outstanding value priced refractor telescope optical tube assembly that can be easily adapted to a either astronomical or terrestrial applications. It does not have an apochromatic (color corrected) objective lens, understandable for the cost...

Stunning execution in machine design!!!

Fri, 25 Nov 2005 23:07:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - Harley finally created a radically designed, but still beautifully styled, performance cruiser. Stunningly yet uniformly styled in sterling silver-like, all aluminum, stunning body works, with lots of trademark Harley chrome trim. Choosing (wisely) to...

The "T" Rex of SJM

Thu, 30 Dec 2004 04:21:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - SJM . . . short for Standard Japanese Motorcycle, is still alive and well in the form of Kawasaki's big in-line four, model designation ZRX-1200R, aka "Z ReX. With displacement punched out to 1164cc, from the prior ZRX-1100R version, the engine on the...

2003 YZF-R6 - best middleweight yet

Sun, 9 Feb 2003 02:38:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - This is one seriously fast sporting machine. They just don't get much better than this. Visually topping the 2003 YZF-R6 model year changes are two new color choices - Liquid Silver and Black with red flames. The latter is a bit flamboyant for some...

"An R1 for the real world"

Mon, 2 Sep 2002 03:54:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - My recent purchase of a leftover '02 FZ1 in Liquid Silver has me beaming with pride in ownership. The FZ1 in this color is very stylish and elegant looking motorcycle. A Liquid silver paint job showcases the bike's all exposed chassis and phenomenal...

2002 Z06 . . . best Vette yet!!!

Fri, 28 Jun 2002 02:55:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - I've owned one each of the C4 era best of the breed: 1989 six speed L98, 1990 ZR-1, 1996 LT4, and now the VERY best yet, a 2002 Corvette Z06 with torch red seats.

Bought it new (out of State) at a great price, $46,988, and got GMAC to...

'02 ZX12R much improved!!!

Tue, 2 Apr 2002 06:04:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - I just became a new owner. Love the bike. Boundless yet easy to control power. Faster than the blazes. Nothing not already understood by most motorcycle enthusiasts. Yet in model year 2002, it is the subtle things that rule the roost in the new and...

Z06 . . . the best vette yet

Fri, 1 Jun 2001 05:34:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - First, and foremost, the Z06 is "fun to drive", but perhaps a bit too expensive, (and no longer in keeping with the so-called "billie bob" Corvette, nor the original FRC's goals and objective according to the book 'All Corvettes Are Red'). Considering...

What's it like to be a "middle" brother?

Tue, 8 May 2001 01:49:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - Middle brother? That's right. 9 comes after 6 and 7, but preceeds a 12. What does the "R" stand for? Why, RACING, of course.

Actually, amongst the latest competition, Kawasaki's ZX series sportsbikes are not the fastest on the track. But...

Kawasaki ZX-R6 Ninja, best in class???

Tue, 1 May 2001 03:53:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dsinned - For the title of "best overall" among the latest breed of 600cc sportbikes, it would be close between the new 2001 Honda CBR600F4i and Kawasaki ZX-6R. The latter gets my vote. Both provide optimum comfort on the street due to their less aggressive,...
