The original did not have “under God” or even “United States of America”.

I am white, and when I left “under God” absent from the Pledge in PUBLIC school, I was sent to the Principal’s office. I was told I had to mouth the words or spend the mornings pre-class in the school’s basement.

Fine. Then when bridges are closed to motorcycles for weather, they are closed to all vehicles. Because “fair”. When there is a motorcycle-only checkpoint, you pull your car over, because “fair”.

WELL THEN, let me simplify this concept as it is truely above your head:

Don’t misinterpret the findings of the Solomon Curve to be anything other than what they are; a statistic that shows that incidents happen with more exposure to traffic. This shows that driving the speed of the flow of traffic is the safest speed. As such, this only exists on roadways that have more than one lane in…

The obvious solution is to remove people who have no ability to co-mingle with other traffic off the roads. On roads with no expectation of minimum speed, bicycles belong more than cars. This is coming from someone who has ridden a bicycle outside maybe 1 time in the last 3 years.

You get all the stars I can give...

It’s just idiotic to ask for the same set of rules to be applied to vehicles of one type. We don’t make all parking lot stalls super long so 18-wheelers won’t be disadvantaged for a reason; it’s silly. We shouldn’t hold all vehicles to the same rules for the same reason.

Absolute garbage. You don’t need a sidestand, these will stand up on the exhaust if you turn them to the right at full-lock. The right hand switchgear locator nub breaks off if you look at ti wrong, and we’ve had the seat tabs breaking due to heat softening the plastic in storage; this is fine, the stock seat is very…

My 2017 vehicle has no curtain airbags. Nor does its 2018 replacement.

If the helmet reduces peripheral ability in a car why are you requiring a device that reduces peripheral ability on a bike?

Helmet requirements in the US seem to be restricted to DoT. Until DoT is good enough, hemet laws are not acceptable. I currently use an ECE helmet that is not DoT, legally in a helmet-freedom state.

Helmet law states are too restrictive.

As a Wrangler owner, I think the people that go out of their way to tell me they dislike my choice in vehicles is worse than the blight that is my choice in vehicles.

Yes, I take it off road, yes, it has been underwater, yes it has gotten stuck, no I don’t offer those comments unsolicted.

No, I’m not moving out of the…

Well, that and your username/image and the correlation to the biggest piece of shit they currently make, the Street 500/750, i think it about covers it.

My level of aggression in pursuit would be directly related to my investment in making sure this guy was nabbed.

Agreed. Both the driver and the rider need to be accountable for the damage they caused.

Thanks, but it’s the norm. I have friends who came out to their cars sideswiped more than once, one came out to find his car was flipped and on the sidewalk.

Oh, I’ve had more than three hit and runs... these are just the ones I’m paying for despite the evidence I have against the driver’s and owners of the vehicles. Two were within the past 6 months, one of those was while I was driving a motorcycle.

I’m honestly surprised that the argument didn’t change to ‘personal property shouldn’t be protected at the risk of others’, another naive and incorrect notion.

Oh, bullshit. Maybe in the more populated areas, but I just booked multiple days surrounding the event in the Smoky Mountains. A coworker just booked days as well.

I expect to see traffic, but I will not see gridlock.
