"reefer madness"....

 

heh, yah, and look where that got us...

 

So, your dad bitches about noise too, huh?

 

‘‘What's even more unbelievable is how he has the same bullshit
about landscapers on the website. It just seems he's pissed at everyone
who makes noise. I guess that's what happens to someone who has VD,
huh?’’ BRIAN


‘‘Brian,so, your dad bitches about noise too, huh?’’
IGGY

‘‘Iggy, and your Daddy feels that way,eh? These Daddys these
days!! My My My! (chuckle) BJAY

'Ya'll take care'' --BJAY--

 

It makes me want to get all drugged and liquored up and grab my weapons.
But....then I consider my outstanding warrants and change my mind.

 

Hehehe, you too?

I look foreward to the grand opening of Joe's moto shop. We could use the
free pubicity.

Will do, Bjay.
Joe used the tractor and box blade, to level off a spot for the shop. It's
all prepared and he's is ready to start welding the pipe frame, as soon as
the pipe gets here.
I traded some ceramic molds (left over from my ceramics shop days) to our
neighbor, for some pipe. Joe is building a 16' x 30' shop, plenty big to
work on motorcycles, cars, trucks, or even tractors. It will even be big
enough for me to have a paint booth.

Joe has 49 days left until retirement from the company he has worked at, for
20 years. He'll have to have the shop, to keep him busy, out of trouble and
out of my hair. <g>

<chuckle> I was wondering where you stood on this one, Morgan.. These guys
are applauding one, just one idiot that is taking dead aim on foolishness..
Their wishful thinking is in their own minds .. The support of this kind of
thinking is a double edged sword that can come back to haunt them, at any
time..

Without a doubt, there is as much if not more resentment by the public for
the way that many of the sporter, stunt bikers perform on the highways, than
all the cruiser riders combined.. When the efforts of the "get the cruisers
off the road" fizzles, those same people will turn their attention to the
sport bikers and stunters..

I've heard more criticism of that crowd in Austin, where it counts, than
complaints about anyone else.. As I've said often, on this newsgroup... "Be
careful what you wish for, you just might get it".. Regards

Well folks reading your opinion need to temper it with the realization
that stupid website represented the anti motorcycle extremists. By
representing their position to the extreme they lack credibility,
among most of us. It is the same very reason most of us do not pay
much attention to Hank's political ramblings. But that is not to say
they will not gain an audience. An audience made up of those who see
all riders as 1%er's or all sport bike enthusiasts as the worst type
of Squids.

When an extremist group can sow a seed and then well meaning riders
water it and fertilize it, by dressing up in our biker costumes and
storming public spaces in a loud and obnoxious manner, we reinforce
those negative stereo types. You like loud pipes? Cool. Just temper
your throttle response when sneaking in and out of residential areas
at five AM in the morning. Blatt the damn thing when people are trying
to sleep, just because you can, and you will reinforce the crap folks
may have read or heard.

Like it or not some of the things we do because we enjoy it, or
because we perceive it as acceptable behavior, {1} can and will be
interpreted by our less two wheel educated neighbours as a knock
against all riders. Extremist groups will get great mileage from some
of the activities we enjoy.

All that being said, I have been riding since the 60's. Back then we
were all perceived as outlaws and in many ways we were. That image is
long gone, at least here in Canada and the many places I have ridden
to over the past few years it is. Maybe because I usually greet people
with a smile and a hearty hello and for the most part I get the same
back in return, I don't see the negative crap. Casual roadside or gas
stop meetings almost always involve positive exchanges. So much so I
look forward to them. Hell often folks I meet want to get a picture of
themselves sitting on the bike. For the most part I accommodate them
{2}.

Let the extremists spout their drivel. Don't argue with them. The very
fact you engage in the debate lends credence to their position. Carry
yourself like the ambassador for the fraternity we all are, and let
our good actions speak for themselves.


{1} Loud pipes
Lane splitting
Intimidation
Reckless riding

{2}Ever notice how when a good looking girl has a pic taken of her on
a bike she will often give the camera the finger? Must be because of
that outlaw image.

‘‘ Well put for the most part, Don. I started riding way back
when too, but it escapes my memory, about being thought of as an outlaw.
In those days there were quite a few Biker Movies, one was Easy Rider.
After that Movie, Tony and I, packed our Bikes and took off.We didnt
wear no leather, had no wind shield, didnt have no saddle bags, we tied
stuff on and took off. When we encountered some Arkansas
folks, they did look at us funny, I remember. I think they thought we
were wild and wooly, but they treated us with, 'in awe', mainly. ( I
think I remember it that way, grin!)
So, the Biker image has improved in the last 20 years,and mainly because
Harley got it's act together again , and Lawyers, doctors, and many
other professionals doned the Leather, and the women folks started
thinking it was cool to ride with their man,with the same matching garb
on, and touring got big, & trailers, and Goldwings, and Honda's
promotions, shoot, consquently, most folks think of us, as cool
characters, in my humble opinion, atleast here in NETexas and
SWArkansas.<My nickels worth>,BJAY)!
