Default Freakin Michelin Ads

I love the Michelin Commanders on my Ultra Classic. I've written many times about how they alone transformed the handling of my bike.
But if one more Michelin Pilot III ad pops up in the middle of a page I'm reading I'm going to puncture my own tires with a screwdriver. Jesus Effin Christ!

um, chrome browser with notscript or firefox and noscript and you'll never see them again.

without ads and javascripts running, my typical hdforums page load is less than 3 seconds
