Right Wing alarmist? are you F'ing kidding me? Look around you. Your rights and freedoms are being eroded and STOLEN from us more every day.

Left wing loonies like hyfly1 and theshrink with thier progressive thinking will be the downfall of this country.

On another note.... you can't have it both ways. If you want this to be a TOURING ONLY forum, then why interject your idiotic partisan opinions? Oh I get it.... Free speech if your a democrat, the rest of us don't count.

Ya know, Larry Flynt once said (and this is not an exact quote, but pretty close) " What good is freedom of speech if it only applies to un-offensive speech". He is right. Generally the controlling party likes to say what they want then complain about the other side when they say something those in power don't like.

Being not a member of ANY party, I say, Say what ever you want. If some ***** gets offended, **** 'em. It's a free country, or at least it's supposed to be.

And by the way, my opinion is that any discussion of the EPA or any other regulatory agency that controls what happens with motorcycles, is on topic because in some way it comes back to motorcycles, even if it begins with some other "industry". Once a government does something to one group, it then does it to another.

The Jew after WWII: the ****'s first came after the gays. I was not gay, so I did not protest. Te **** then came after the blacks, I was not black, so I did not protest. When they came after the Jews, there was no one left to protest for me.

Any state's DMV regulations can require a retrofit of any vehicle that they legislatively decide requires pollution controls, at the owner's expense, to receive licensing for use on public highways. "Grandfathering" will only apply if the law specifically allows it.

Relax Bro, don't get your panties in a twist. All "we" are saying is that when we come to this board, we like to talk about the machines. You know, the actual machines. I ain't getting into politics on a forum, for crying out loud. I do that type of thing in person - like with my ABATE group.

nobody is asking you to. don't like the topic, don't read it. I pass over 100's of threads that do not interest me. If I see one that looks intersting I open it up, if it is not what I thought I move on to another.

I hear ya....we'll stop the socialists in the next election. They got stomped in the Va and NJ governer's races last Nov. and they'll lose many house seats next November.
