Good Times

A group of Bikers from all over Texas had a little "get-together" just a
couple of weeks ago.. El Paso.. Big Springs.. Lubbock.. Austin... Houston
and the DFW metroplex..

They came from all over Texas.. They rode in on Hondas, Suzukis..
Kawasakis.. BMWs...Harleys.. I think there were a couple of Yamahas there
also.. feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

The bikers were wearing a variety of clothing .. jeans, boots.. vests ..
jackets.. raingear.. (it rained like hell that day) Some wore helmets,
others wore baseball type caps and still others wore doo rags.. Some even
came in there bare headed.. (Heavens forbid).. Yeah .. they did, all right..

There were some touring bikes, sports touring bikes, cruisers and some sport
bikes.. Hell.. there was a custom trike and a rig with a sidecar..This was a
motley crew, no doubt..

They came to this place and met for a single purpose and goal..They came
here in all this diversity, as a unit .. All were welcomed and respected..
All were heard and made their concerns felt by the others.. Republicans and
Democrats.. even a couple of Independents.. The Fellowship and Brotherhood
was like an electric current.. Even the brothers who were not members, felt
it.. It is alive and it is REAL..

In spite of all that diversity.. you could sink your teeth in the Fellowship
and brotherhood.. Guess what .. some of the fine Sisters were there, also..

There are a few on this newsgroup who know that feeling.. They KNOW.. what
this post is about and the Fellowship and Brotherhood that I am addressing..
There are many who don't have a clue..

Those brothers and sisters from all over Texas were attending a TMRA II
State Advisors meeting in Elgin, Tx. Many of us had never even heard of the
place until that meeting was announced.. We came together for the purpose of
determining our directions for the next twelve months.. There was no party,
no drinking or carousing and nothing but the business of Bikers was on
anyone's mind..

Every man or woman who rides a motorcycle in this State, have these men and
women to thank for many things that affect your lives everytime you mount
your motorcycle.. You can thank them for the respect that a police officer
affords you when you come in contact with one of them.. You can thank these
men and women for any respect you get from other vehicles who share that
street or highway with you.. There are so many hidden benefits that you
enjoy, that these men and women have contributed to you, as a motorcycle
enthusiast..

These men and women are not anonymous or covert, their presence is felt in
our State's Capitol building.. Their influence is known while our
legislators do our business in that Capitol.. They hold meetings in their
own districts each month.. Those meetings are open to all..and ALL are
welcome to be heard and respected, regardless of your political
affiliation.. Feel free to dispute or correct me for any mistake or
mis-information .. Contradict me, if I have made any error..

Those men and women have been tireless in their efforts throughout our
State.. They've made a difference.. They also deserve your respect..
Whatever your reason for not supporting them.. that respect and gratitude is
a debt.. if you ride a motorcycle..

TMRA II.. is an organization that serves a worthy purpose.. It is comprised
of men and women who have courage and the convictions to stand up for all of
us.. It is not any one individual .. TMRA II has a life of it's own..

I appreciate the good words.. The post seems appropriate at this time..
Thank the other Warriors and Patriots for their good words and work, also..
Every one is important and every one is needed..

What's this Six Sigma or something!! .... I believe the keyboard must offer
some glimpse of the character of the operator, and based on many other posts
I've noted here, I feel many here at tx.motorcycles would not consider
joining tmraII. I've watched enough TV to know if the disrespect and
negativity on display here happened face to face it might
disruptive......louie

 

LOL... Yep.. that's the main drawback with tx.motorcycle newsgroup.. Sure
got a bunch of wannabes' .. posers .. and welfare riders.. just like you
"Screwy Louie"..

You guys are all the same.. you want to talk the talk, but when it's time to
walk the walk, there's nothing there.. Stick with the posers "Screwy
Louie".. You can't cut it..

Absolutely NO..

 

Perfect example of "one who doesn't get it"..

 

How about 547 miles is the BEST you've done thus far...And to top it
off, I believe they just mentioned you just because you paid $200 and
you whined about how tough the ride was...

and you got wet!

You cry baby bastard.

 

Someone been pissin' in your yard again, louie?

 

You might want to scroll down and just have a "little read" of my post
today.. "WTF.. "Nuff said".. LOL... I've made the same "face to face"
comment on this group to quite a few of the crew that you seem to fancy..

I've also posted my itineraries and home address quite a few times.. hmmm..
The address has been confirmed by none other than ol' Mark Johnson,
himself.. I'm sure you've seen that address, before..

So far.. newsgroup posturing has been the only reaction.. LMAO.. Mostly..
responses like.. "hmpfff... my husband is meaner than your wife.".. or some
such bullshit..

You guys in that crew, do more posturing than anything else.. Long as you
succeed in impressing each other, I suppose that counts, impressing anyone
else, who does "have a clue", just ain't working.. There you go .. sport..

 

Good to see you Superfly.. Damn.. I was beginning to think that computer got
the best of you.. This dude is a bit confusing, isn't he ?

 

OK,... Let me offer as an excuse; when throwing out a post here, and
expecting to strike home, (or hitting the target) with everyone is
fruitless, account the poster, although he thinks (and he might) he
knows the audience, others that he did not consider the audience will
read the post. I have the same problem with many of the posts I read, so
it happens to most likely all.

6 sig - someone commented in a positive manner to one of Walker's post.
The concept of praise, warm stuff, and turning a blind eye to the two
zillion negative, attacking posts.

A little of the poster character is in poster's post - uh huh

TV - I can't say enough about TV

Usenet - different than face to face.... usenet, some say it is the
modern day version of alcohol, which as might may know, helps people to
act bigger, cuter, smarter, and richer than they are. I'm hopeful what
is said here stays here. We're nuts, and button pushers should know that.

....see what I mean .....louie

 

THAT'S what I'm talkin'.. Been saying that for years..LOL

Me too..

Yeah.. I been saying THAT too..

I'm hopeful what

hmmm.. I guess everybody is NUTS in their own way.. Some are nuts and not
acceptable to most decent folks, although they'd sure like to be.. Sheesh..
if I didn't know where you are coming from, it would seem like we're on the
same page.. We both know better than that, though, don't we ? LOL..

Thats so True, above.....I have really learned that none of us, are
entirely demostrating who we truly are, me included. It's one thing to
verbally state one's opinion, but when typing an opinion or makeing a
statement.....it don't always READ the way we intended it to sound.
Like, I have emailed my sonNLaw, and he has read it, and didn't get what
I really meant..etc......and got his feelings hurt a couple of
times......does this make sense?
When typing phrases, we tend to wanna be an author, or columnist, or
yes, a comedy writer!!....<grin> Now in here, we tend to elaborate most
every word or phrase to impress......not always
being truthful....(like the whole truth) or like embellishing the truth
about our selves.......I am pretty much (90%) being my self in Here,
typing with a bunch of entertaining posters, and commentaters.
and yes, the lurkers! <>bjay<>9.22.04@1215p.

 

Don't get too carried away there, bjay.. I can't speak for everyone, but..
I've been told that I talk about the same way on this newsgroup, that I
sound ..in person.. On the other hand, I met a young man, not too long ago..
After we introduced ourselves and shook hands, he made a comment to the
effect "you're not as cranky in person, as you are on that newsgroup"..

Just a little contradictory, but not really.. What you see is what you
get.At my stage of life, I don't need or have to impress anyone, either on a
newsgroup or in person.. I enjoy that..

The only person I try to impress, is my lovely wife.......heehee...I
thrive on contriversy.....I like a good argument...
but I think I am a fair person...and I will listen to your side....but
that don't mean I agree.......I consider myself an
independent....period.......If I'm wrong..I'll admit it...but I expect
the same from others........hmmmm? why did I say all that.........I
guess it's my age......
BW, In my opinion, you are a pretty good commontater, and pretty good
at comedy writin’....you have furnished me with some laffs, and quite
a few Frowns....keep it up,
