Budman Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 We surely can't be all about racing all of the time. What are some of your favorite non-racing sites on the web? I have one in mind, but I'll get to that later. Let's hear from some of you. (Keep it clean please.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Honda VTX owner's group at www.vtxoa.com....but if I sell the bike, I'll have to change that, and it is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 In 1998 I visited for but one day only, a really fascinating place. Fortunately the Government maintains a website for that place which allows me to "virtually revisit it" often, which I do. It is the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. The site has a "live" camera of the most active crater (Pu'u o'o), which updates about every five minutes. Some nights that can be really spectacular. More often though, the cameras are shrouded in fog, if not rain. The site also contains a photo archive which stretches back 10 years. There are some pretty incredible photos if you take the time to look. I'll post a couple of my favorites below. The site is hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/ ........................ or you can just click on the word Link at right. LINK Once there click on Pu'u O'o Camera, or the photo archive. Hopefully you'll find this as interesting as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 The only problem with a lot of the photos, is the matter of scale. You can't discern the "size" of the subject of the photo. Scale in this photo is provided by the photographer in the upper right. Lava that enters the ocean has traveled roughly ten miles from its source in the area of Pu'u O'o crater, located on the side slope of Kilauea.

Budman Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Lava "steps" down a set of rock stairs, then stops, cools and solidifies into rock. These photos are just two of several hundred in the archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebelracewriter Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 With all the traveling that I do, it would have to be the site for the Bodett Hilton. Not that it's my favorite non-racing site, just the one most often used. LOL I have Tom Bodett on my speed dial, too. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey bigfat, you know they offer help for people with problems like this... 10-4. I've made bets on whether or not those hot lines work. Lost about $250 year to date on that one. I was betting that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fast18 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Last year I found out about craigslist.org and it has helped me clean out my storage and I've got a few good deals too. Nothing like a free place to post ads and and look for stuff. I think it is the biggest site that doesn't charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn1ghtblade Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yea I have looked into the satalite deal... But man 200 just to get installed, 100 a month for first year to pay off equipment... Or 600 up front for equipment and 69 a month after that... Wouldnt be able to pay for race car while paying for that.... But the wifi might be cheaper... You have his number>?

Budman Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 A couple of other sites I use are Webshots.com and GoogleEarth.com. Webshots is a "community" site of thousands of photos uploaded by members. It's free. It is the site i've downloaded all my screen savers from. It's moderated to keep out nude or pornographic photos. Google Earth is one of those satelite/aerial photo sites. Not sure if it is still free, but you might want to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tps48 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Google earth is one of my favorites. I can spend hours there looking up places I've been or want to go to. YouTube is pretty funny too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
