I’ve always had a fantasy where they bring out the family and kids, and when they say turn around or Let’s welcome home Corporal Marine Todd, the family turns around overjoyed and then they wheel out a casket with the flag draped over it.

YES.

Note: I also think both of us felt like we went slower on the R1-M (where we were recording lap times) purely because we were TERRIFIED of coming back with that thing on the crash truck like “Sup...”

Or forcing religious beliefs on citizens of a secular society where church and state are to remain separate.

And even then that analogy doesn’t really work in the way he wants it to. Soldiers volunteer to go into active duty by joining the army, and if they say “Nah, I don’t want to fight in THIS particular war, thanks” I believe that the army frowns on that. Davis volunteered to become an arm of the state when she ran for…

Jesus. That is wheelie dangerous.

eh i ended up going with a used street triple this year anyway so another bike purchase wont happen for a while.

Go to a childrens hospital and offer kids rides in a three-wheeled-AutoBot/Batmobile.

Where have you been, my yamaha raider will run rings around any harley in it’s class, for a lot less at that.

My dad didn’t bust his ass dodging the draft so you could ask me questions like that.

For future articles can we get displacements in cc’s also?

True dat. Though there are some great end of season sales if you are willing to travel. I live in FL, bought my scooter in TN and rode home - saved $4.5k off MSRP and got a 5 year unlimited mileage full boat warranty (suckers). Still, it was a lot. All motorcycles cost more than they should when compared to cars, much…

Yeah. I’m not 30 yet and I’m done with sport bikes. Not quite ready to put my feet ahead of my elbows, but I’m all about upright now.

Ok, as an owner of a Diavel...seriously? Yes it’s a bit cruiser-ish but they aren’t comparable except maybe in riding position. There is no harley made that is even close in performance. Sure all cruisers kind of look alike if you squint but the nearly 200hp still sets it miles apart from anything with screaming…

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

You know what drives me crazy about stories like this? Dick Cheney, dreadful guy, warmonger, shot his friend in the face, still warmongering after the war blew up in our faces, is STILL ALIVE. Jim Henson, Molly Ivins, Robin Williams, Douglas Adams, , now Lenny Robinson, all dead as doornails. I’ve matured enough to…

For the last 20 years, I’ve been playing in the Abilene Philharmonic, and whenever I’m in town (I live in Austin), I spend my free time out at Rister Park, smoking cigars and watching the show. I’ve gotten some pretty good spots out there, including this E-4 and this P-8. And here’s a Dyess Bone for good measure.…

Really with 14 cars I was assuming he was oil money from the UAE or some such.

There has been a lot of instances of blind spot monitors failing to see smaller vehicles, like motorcycles. Don’t rely on them, still check visually and always stay alert.
