Officespaceout.... Yea did not mean to offend anyone, your probably right though,bad taste perhaps yes on further serious reflection, but I was not serious as a heart-attackwhen I posted that.....

That aside, where I am coming from is this is not at all the Country I grew up in anymore (back in the 70s). It is something very disturbing to menow, and Socialism seems to be the new agenda and order these days. Right down to Motorcycle Mufflers! Every one has anewlaw to match conformity to some agenda. It is no longer the samegreat Country my Grandparents bled and fought for our freerights. I like you stillLove my Country, always will! But I despise our Government(s). And I am not just talking Bush.......... Thats where I am comingfrom, trustI know where you were coming from too.......

Between the EPA and the anti-noise groups it's a big problem. I think if all the bikers band together there could be some strong political clout there. Banning ALL aftermarket exhaust is just ridiculous. And so is the EPA focusing on one of the most fuel efficient modes of transportation around. Time to join ABATE or AMA or ??

easy now . . I think he was saying that Trucks are essential to our society (food, clothing, etc deliveries) and our economy, while motorcycles are mostly for pleasure (yes some do use a bike as a sole means of transportation, but not most). Railroad? lol . . come on, do you think there's enough tracks out there to deliver everywhere?
