Default Putting Things in Perspective....

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch,

Cams suck, EPA sucks, 2012 colors suck, Harley sucks, everything sucks.....

If you make it through the first three minutes of this video, I bet you'll watch it for the full 12 minutes. Then maybe things won't look so bad after all....

I'm attaching a jpg of a Care Bears pin...from a ride long ago, where everyone on the ride brought a Teddy Bear and delivered to the Mpls Childrens' Hospital.

Thanks. We are truly blessed to ride rolling works of art, that make thunder. Could we do that in USA, or would everyone freak out abut liability? I'd do it.

There but for the grace of God go anyone of us. This further demonstrates why Harleys are special, and people that ride Harleys are special, no matter where they are around the world, including Northern Finland.
