Having said all this, the Yuppies did save HD to a degree. I'm OK with that.
Isn't about the collar on a man's shirt anymore it's about people using a machine & gear to play act their high school fantasies instead of actually living them . Everybody looses the moco included , what happens when the world is saturated with actors instead of real people and nobody cares anymore ?

Twizted hit right on the head..Everyone want to say what scumballs some of us are or arent but will dam sure play the part when they can or no one else is looking..
O and dilemma just since you called me by name no i didnt ride the short bus i was on my scoot going to school and i have two degrees so wtf does spelling have todo with it your just here to try and start crap and take the other side to get some one mad well you be cool all you want behind the key board but if it wasnt for scooter trash like me HD wouldnt be here for you to role play now that people like me got them threw bad times now they are doing good they dont even carry most of the part for the scooter they sold. Run your mouth and tell your friends your that cool but like in one of my other miss spelled post theres one in every crowd.
And what good does it do to let off the gas as you go by me if im broke down must be to affraid to stop but thats ok i have thousand of brothers all over the world that will get up in the middle of the night and help me if i need it..
But as you see my picture is right there not worried about people knowing who or what i am i see you just have your crome breather cover there..So keep playing internet outlaw.
See you in the breeze...
PS
can you show me in rules where i have to spell perfect!!lmao go sit at your key board while i ride..Or better yet try working on your own scooter now that would be funny....

I'll stop, but I probably won't be much help unless you want to ride bitch to go get parts or something. Just don't wrap your arms around me. I spent hours ironing this shirt.

that wasn't all that uncommon "back in the day"

about 20 years ago 3 of us with OLs rolled up to Niagara Falls. Spent the day/eve partying and having fun. Got ready to head back and my bro's battery took a crap.
we left one dude up there with the girls and me and my bro (big boy before he lost 100# or so) took my FXR back States-side to Sears to get him a tractor battery, so we could get home.
I'm sure we looked like a couple of fudge packers
I didnt have bags on the FXR, so he had to hold the battery in his hands. US Customs didn't care, but we had to convince Canuks to let us in with that battery.

Actually, I'm a decent mechanic. 30 years in the construction industry have taught me a few things.
