Yep and opinions are just like ******** everybody has one. Just remember many of those AARP angels were riding scooters when you were still shitten yellow and probably put on a buttload more miles than you do. Last year was a slow one for me only 15000

 

And they probably did it without gettin' their panties all in a wad. Are you the Director of the Racine chapter or sumthin'?

 

Took me longer to walk to the recycle bin to toss it than it took for me to scan through it...

 

nope not even a member of the chapter. I am friends with many tho. I just resent people makin comments that because they don't see a use in something it's a bunch of bs. I chose to be a legion member and a vva member, coose not to join the vfw, for instance. Doesn't mean I am going to run them down or make comments about them

 

I actually preferred getting The Enthusiast AND the Hog magazine before they made the change to combine the two. The new HOG magazine is pretty worthless, as is the membership which I will not be renewing......wait, thats a whole 'nuther thread.

 

this month's edition has a great story about Bessie Stringfield. I'll venture to say there are VERY few here that comes close to the many miles she logged, and in a time when black women just didn't ride a motorcycle.

doesn't matter what you've done or think you've done - she takes the prize.

 

Not to worry.......once they see how you stood up for them, I'm sure they will patch you right in.

 

Yep and ther are others like it. An article on the gulf coast rte from Talahassee to Pensacola a while back. I would have skipped that on my trip this summer, had I not read it

 

You get your boots wet a lot when you start pissing contests that you're the only one in?

I don't happen to care for the parade style riding and rulebook nit picking that goes on in the HOG groups around here, if yours is different, good on ya.

And for the record, I'm 61...started riding in '67 and my best friend & riding bud of almost 40 years says I'm the only guy he knows who'll still hit the road at the drop of a hat, anytime...

Hope your day gets better when you get that 2X4 sized chip off your shoulder...

 

The Bessie Stringfield article was pretty good in this one. Good article about HOG member and medal of honor winner Gary Wetzel a while back too. (click to read it on HD web site). There's some good stuff in every issue - it's no American Iron, but it's alright.
