Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! To anyone
with kids of any age, here's some A+ advice.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings have created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept will set them up for failure in the real world.

Reality Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Reality Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect
you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

I had a suggestion from some one to retrofit some non-USA electrics, just can't seem to do that!! At least I would like to get the cruise control to work. Anybody out there knows anything about this part of HD design. Of course the best of all worlds would be some schematics. I have a service manual so far its not been to much help.

I have been out of touch for a while. A year or so ago, I purchased parts from a company called Direct Parts. I belonged to the forum which was linked to their site. I was curious as to what happened to "Direct Parts" because I have purchased parts at an excellent price and wanted to do so again. I noticed some of the guys from the "Direct Parts" forums were here now including Cyber Dave. Anyway.....just curious and if it's "none of my business" then thats ok too. There's great advice here and guys who seem like they really care. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into a project like this.
