Do you buy tires by the dozen?

We think the tires will have to be replaced between 25,000 and 30,000 miles.

We have never had such fantastic tire life on any of our previous motorcycles. Even 10,000 miles is considered a lot for a motorcycle tire.

Boondoggles in the days of Anything Goes. It must have been great to be an arms merchant, especially of airborne follies.

The period from the end of WWII to the early 1960s was a time of massive change in the defense sector. Things that seem commonplace today like supersonic jet fighters, nuclear submarines and guided missiles all were either invented or came of age during this period.

I find this period so interesting because there was a lot of “anything goes” when it came to design. Some of it was good, some of it wasn’t, and some was just plain weird.

Part of this was due to good old-fashioned inter service rivalry. The Army, Navy and newly created Air Force were all fighting for a seat at the nuclear table.

An interesting article, but "nuclear submarines" is ambiguous - the distinction between nuclear powered and nuclear armed is important.
