I further move that the OP be flogged with a wet Sons of Anarchy t shirt and given a thread creating suspension of a period no less than the length of one season of The Great Biker Buildoff.
I'm busted, can't be trusted.

I don't have one of them things.....I just lean it against a tree, or lay it down on the ground. Only because I didn't know what it was called........(so, what do you guys call that thing that you press to make the engine go vroom-vroom? i call it the vroom-vroomer)

So with this and the promise of more useless threads, you’re admitting to being a troll. Now that I know, anything further posted from you can be deemed total bullshit, Hoka Hey or not. Got it, thanks!

Sure is an awful lot of whiners in here who couldn't take a joke if it was a parolle named Bubba giving it to them rectally.

Seriously? That many of you couldn't see the OP was friggin' around?

Honestly don't matter to me what you think of me.

That said, I rode Harleys for for 44 years. Judging from your response, I'm thinking that is probably longer than you've been wasting Oxygen.

OH, by the way. The "Ignore" Button can be your friend there Shirley.
