Don't be bringing Bugs' personal problems into the discussion. Daffy admitted that the 'spiked' carrot juice was a mistake and wants to let sleeping cartoons lie.

I have 5 CB750s so I know where the oil tank is. What I was nagging about LAW & ORDER episode (the only episode I ever saw, and only in part) was that investigators claimed that the suspect took the acid from the bike's battery and poured into the oil tank, which is not possible of course unless the suspect was dumb enough to carry his own acid. I think the old "suger-in-the-gas tank" trick would've caused the same damage, since early CB750 gas caps are not key locked.

I have yet to see a completely stock SOHC CB750 on TV or movie screens. The one that came real close was the 1971 brown CB750K1 shown in the 1971 movie "Stone Killer" but it had dual discs which was not standard in US (it also morphs into a 1971 CB500 with CB750 type tank stripes in action scenes). The first "Terminator" movie showed a near stock CB750K1 model but it was repainted in red with no tank emblems or striping and it had the aftermarket mini-fairing. The only animation I saw that featured the classic CB750 was "Wild 7" but it was modified from a standard Japanese police version with leg shields, red racing seat and four rocket pods, probably part influenced by the cool rocket armed BSA from the James Bond movie.

I'm glad STAR TREK wasn't real, in their history, mankind was nearly wiped out by the Eugenics War of the 1990s. We may be living in a better world after all. All that talk about STAR TREK and GALAXY QUEST made me miss the QUISP cereal I used to eat when I was a kid.

Of course not, they already beamed me up

Funny thing about STAR TREK's transporter is that if it really worked, you have to destroy the original copy or there will be too many duplicates everytime you "beam me up". I think one of the science shows in Discovery channel hosted by Gillian Anderson some ten years ago mentioned this and later the topic was a basis for one of the new OUTER LIMITS sci-fi show.

And they never seem to worry about 'contamination' getting in to the beam at the moment of transport....like what happened in 'The Fly'. Or did I miss an explanation at some point in the Star Trek history?

The transporter changes matter into energy, transmitted to wherever you're going, and then back to matter again. Everything within the "beam" has had an atomic "snapshot" taken that will re-create it perfectly after transport. The question I have, is what happens to the matter that you displace when you're beamed? In other words, when you beam down to a planet that has air, that air has mass made of matter. That matter has to go somewhere, so does the transporter simply turn that matter into energy and then store it? Or does it just displace it into the surrounding air?

There is one of me down there with ya'll trying to get his bike going, and then there's me; I'm here in Alpha-Centauri with Spock and Scotty trying to fix this damn transporter! Please visit another great forum similar to this one called "anti-matter/matter displacement and astro-physical theory discussion boards" unfortunately there is no "www" you just have to focus really hard on the forum name and you'll connect via your embedded neuro-net transmitter....Or don't you have one yet? Earthlings; so very primitive!

Actually, they did mention several times that the transporter had a "biofilter" that prevented contamination from being added to the creature being transported as well as preventing diseases from coming aboard and infecting the ship. (Accept for the times that the script writers said otherwise ...)

As to the displaced matter question, haven't got a clue, maybe they all just absorb the air and fart alot off camera???

The best part of Star Trek is Shatners appearance on snl skit of a Trekkie's convention.

People get a life it is not real.Shatner says?

Bloody hell, plod and me…….you can’t nick me Ted I’m in the UK, but I’m glad you watch the telly that’s what plod do best and should stick at it.

No worry. "Nicking" is not my job, it's identifying targets for a strike. Interestingly I have relatives in England but until now, I didn't even know what "plod" (i.e: Police) was. Though I knew that "cop" was another British import meaning "Constable on Patrol".
Speaking of Star Trek, did you see Captain Kirk in a remake for a TV commercial lately? It caught me off guard and smart idea by advertizers. I did like Shatner's skit on SNL. It was smart and risky.
I just realized that transporter would be great for making copies of CB750 parts, or even the whole bike. You don't have to destroy the original.

That wouldn't be a transporter, that'd be ST:TNG's replicator!

Always thought Cop was short for coppers......after the copper badges worn by early new york policemen.......

Saw the episode in question a couple nights ago. Pretty cool even if the bike was a calico of many parts.
