What's the point? People do things to get attention, some people starve for someones attention, obviously you want and need attention. Does it have anything to do with freedom, no. It's a matter of public decency which it is not. Because of it's location it will rarely be seen. Now if he had it on the back of his sissy bar or back rest for EVERYBODY to see that's a bigger problem. People try to do and say things everyday that they throw under the "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" umbrella. Don't get me wrong I couldn't care less if he has it on his bike or not. It doesn't make me think highly of you. (which you probably could care less). You may be the best and kindest person in the world that stops and helps everybody you can, but if thats the case why put that on your bike, what are you trying to say? What IMAGE are you trying to portray?

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD!

If it is truly a "freedom of speech" thing then how come if I say fu*k, sh*t, m*therf*cker it gets deleted or changed? It's my right to say that it's my free speech right!!!! It's called common deciceny.

Thats my "freedom of speech" moment.

I agree to with to each his own. But when my grandaughter learns to read and is subjected to that garbage when she is out in public, then it becomes more than your problem. It becomes everybody elses as well. It is disrespectful. And RESPECT is really what MC riding is all about. Obviously you don't get it. Don't expect any respect cause you don't deserve it. Anytime you disrespect others, it makes you what I never want to be. Someday you might understand. In the meantime keep acting like you do, shows your true colors. Flame on.

If you read the letter, it was $150.00. You will never need another shift linkage.

I think I could find a better way to express my enjoyment of riding. I hope young ones aren't viewing this forum!

Florida State Statue 847.011 appears to prohibit it. I doubt many officers are out looking for such a thing. However, with just the right demeanor and attitude, it could turn a written warning for loud pipes into a misdemeanor arrest.

Personally, I'm a believer in individual rights. However, where do you draw the line? If you feel strongly about telling the world to F&%k off, would it be OK to pay for a billboard advertising your feelings? Maybe near the entrance to Disney World?

Seems like common sense to me, but it's not common anymore.
