Brough Superior was such an expensive ride, an unusually high proportion of them survive.

I bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard. Then I purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you can buy on eBay) and ran it up the flag pole.
Now the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service, and other agencies are watching my house 24/7. I’ve never felt safer, and I’m saving $69.95 a month that ADT used to charge me.
Plus, I bought burkas for my wife and me to wear when we shop or travel. Everyone moves out of the way, and security can’t pat us down. If they ask if I’m a male wearing a burka, I just say I’m feeling like a woman today! There’s as many restrooms available now!
Awesome. Hot Damn! Safe at last!
Ain’t America great or what?

Were that the case I'd actually be out there playing shortstop, diving for line drives, making double plays, and sliding into second base (if I could make it to second); doing all with reckless abandon as my knees shred to pieces and my hips shatter. So what does all this mean?
As long as my motorcycle was running I've never trailered any where any distance. But I've accepted reality in that I might have to do that sooner than I had anticipated. I love my old Dakota but I can't trust it to pull my motorcycle the miles we normally travel on the bike, anymore than I can trust my body to do so. I bought a new pick-up but couldn't stand to part with the Dakota. less

It IS possible for the wind to rip the cherry off a smoke.
It IS possible for the wind to forceably place said Cherry directly into a Nostril.
Your first instinct is to grab/poke at it vs. blow...
A Hot cherry WILL Adhere to the insides of a Nostril.
Your Eyes Water Profusely immediately upon a Cherry lodging in a Nostril.
Its damn difficult to see when your eyes are flowing.
Theres a God Awful smell & sizzling that occurs in a Flash.
Realisation of ALL the above occured almost simultaneouly....
Lifes lil lessons....
Im sure it would have been fun to witness...but it made my life interesting for a few brief moments!!! less

I'm looking for interested riders for a trip through Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick, mid August 2015. I live along the shores of Lake Ontario in Oswego, NY. I'm a 57 year old experienced responsible rider, most of my friends call it quits after a one day ride.

Sadly, I must report… for anyone who may know (i understand most of the original fish members who knew him have probably moved on maybe…) But my dad RevZeke, and the Alpha Omegas club president, passed away October 31st. I had the longest ride of my life, from NE Ohio to SW Missouri to be there for my mom…. It didn’t help that my trusty Harley chose to do Harley things on that ride… none the less… got done what was needed. I know that 10-12 years back he had friends here. Thought y’all should know. The Club board chose to have me take his place; I can’t fill his shoes but I’m gonna try to follow his footsteps. Love and respect! See you all in the wind!

Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been on site. It's my loss. But I'm back. I've moved several times. But am now in Smithville, Texas. It's a small town and I've just found a place to live. Which is really good for me. it'll be nice to be able to have a place all to myself.. And I'm ready to make friends. I moved here hi ust before the virus hit n we were quarantined. I've missed everyone on here.
