I made the first rockin' harleys ever made, sold over a thousand of them in the first week.
harley ain't nothing to me, vaugh beals still owns the company, he also owns american machine and foundry (AMF) he is an asshole and all his upper boys are lawyers.
anyone can ride a harley these days, but they gotta wear a helmut, and my head don't fit in some goddamn lame ass helmut.

Not trying to impress you or anyone else, just yappin' with bhallg2k. As for the helmet, I'm with ya on that! I'm fortunate enough to be in a no helmet state so it's cool....just surrounded by the helmet law with the other states!

i know that a lot of folks don't practice what they preach, some of us do.
I have not driven for over 15 years, the last time i drove was just after they passed the stupid helmut laws on the west coast, after 143 tickets for no helmut, and cancellation of my insurance, i quit.
refusing to drive is my protest, and one of my gifts to my grandchildren's children, it is hard to have to get rides the 65 km. to town for groceries and doctors visits, but it is harder to accept blame for destruction of my planets atmosphere.
people just have to stop driving everywhere, or at least demand better gas milage, cars have the same gas milage that they have had for decades, how the hell is that possible?
Talk the talk, ya walk the walk. Someone that lives up to their convictons....very rare these days!! Have a good one!
