David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see....

 'As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark.'
 
 
   'The other day I was reading Newsweek  magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe.  It must be true given the  source, right?
 The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of  the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?'
 
 A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week?
 
 B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
 
 
   C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
 
 D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time  and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
 
 E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the   Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state.
 
 
   
 
 
   F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
 
 G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either.
 
 H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.
 
 I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home.
 
   
 
   J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family, and your belongings.
 
 K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
 
 L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and  pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
 
 M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
 
 Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.
 
 Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
 
 I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?
 
   Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it.......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.
 
   
 
   Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable' discharge after a few days in the brig.
 
 So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans?

 Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J.. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it
 this way......Insane!
 
 Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.' 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?'

Ok, for all you Harley - Davidson buffs, I am really torn between the new Softail Rocker or the Victory Vegas Jackpot. I really like the rocker but it only comes as a single rider, No Rear Seat. Now the Vegas Jackpot is hot. Man o man is that bike hot. I just don't know enough about the two. Both Bikes are appealing, I almost would rather have the one that would haul some a$$.

I also thought about the sportbike route.. I had a hayabusa not too long ago. I am really fond of the new gsxr 750 or even gsrx 1000. but coming from a Busa I am very intrigued with the new Kawasaki XZ14. Hmmm. The one that got away (from my busa of course). Can you go back to a cruiser after a Busa? HMM. I did have a VTX 1800 for a couple of years before I got the Busa. The VTX was a fast cruiser but I almost think that I am Addicted to the Crazy get up and go. By the way, Has anybody ridden one of the new CBR's. Just curious. How does the CBR hold up to the GSXR's and the Ninja's.

Have you ever had someone at your job that

has an oder problem?

Ok so there is this guy at my work that works about 100 miles away from me except on fridays. On fridays he has to come here to the main office. He has been working with us for about 6 months now.

Don't get me wrong, I think he is a good guy, lots of knowledge in his field, pretty bright fellow, But he has the Mathew McConaughey thing going on with the no deoderant and some bad body oder. With a guy this nice its hard to tell the guy that he stinks. I mean he has the kind of smell that lingers around 5 to 10 minutes after he leaves.

We have been talking about it in our office to see who was going to be the one to break the news to him here at work. Nobody wanted to be that person that brings up that conversation to him. Not even the owners felt comfortable talking to him about his oder problem. What if its genetic? What if he does use deoderant and he litterly cant help the way he smells.

How do you start a conversation like that? Think about it. Thats not an easy conversation to have with somebody at work. We dont have a "Human Resourse" program at my work. So I decided to be the one to talk to him. I joined him on a smoke outside. I didn't plan it out very well.

I asked him to not be offended by this question that I am about to ask him. Of course he is like "Sure" with a big smile. Ugh. I ask him "Do you not use Deoderant?".... The look on his face, it was just a fraction of time that he carried that look, but I cant forget it. He had the look like he had never been asked that question before, like he was in disbelieve that I just asked him that. I felt like an ass at that point in time. Seriously, He is like 36 years old, could it be possible that nobody has ever brought up the odor question to him before?

His answer to my question "yeah". Man I could see a thousand questions and thoughts running through his head. I felt terrible thinking that its probably genetic and he cant help it. He asked me, "Do I stink or something" I told him that he had a little extra funk than most people have, That why I asked him that. Of course I did the buddy buddy thing, I told that I would expect the same from him, Like if I had a crusty snot in my nose showing, I would hope that he would tell me.

Whew. Thats over, I only wonder if this will stick in his head and will be more aware of the funk.

Ok, I know that Harley's have a big following and they are "American Made" and all. but man, I am tending to hate these bikes. I live next to Cowboy Harley Davidson in Austin and all I hear is this incessant exhaust noise. I tend to love loud exhaust on my cars and my bike has a custom exhaust too but the sound is much more appealing to me in contrast to something that sounds like a loud farting noise. I ain't one to hate what others love just because other people love it. Trust me on this... I don't dislike HD's either, I used to own one before AMF bought them. I think what I am really trying to say is don't make it sound like it is fast and hot when it is a machine that's kind of lame. I see these bikes all day and when they idle it looks like all the bolts will need to be tightened soon. They shake and make lots of noise but fall way short of a performance machine. So, why make them sound like a performance machine? Even then, it's just loud and annoying and most of all "fart-like".

The Biker  

 I saw you hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.
But, you didn't see me put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.

But, you didn't see me playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you change your mind about going into the restaurant.
But, you didn't see me attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.
  I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by. But, you didn't see me riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the window.   I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But, you didn't see me when I took time off from work to run toys for the homeless.   I saw you stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks Of Love.   I saw you roll your eyes at our leather jackets and gloves.
But, you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none.
  I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn't see me cry as my children were born and have their names written on my heart.   I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
But, you didn't see me going home to be with my family.
  I saw you complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.
But, you didn't see me when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.
  I saw you yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn't see me pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.   I saw you reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But, you didn't see me squeeze me wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.   I saw you race down the road in the rain. But, you didn't see me get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.   I saw you run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.
But, you didn't see me trying to turn right.
  I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But, you didn't see me leave the road.   I saw you waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But, you didn't see me.  I wasn't there.   I saw you go home to your family. But, you didn't see me ... because, I died that day you cut me off.   I was just a biker.  A person with friends and a family.
But, you didn't see me.
  Re-send this around in hopes that people will understand the biker community.   If you don't re-send this, I hope you never loose someone that rides.   EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE US, RESPECT OUR RIGHTS TO RIDE WHAT WE CHOOSE AND TAKE A FEW EXTRA SECONDS TO BE SURE  WE'RE NOT IN 'YOUR' WAY - LIVE TO RIDE . . . RIDE TO LIVE.

Well, Eric's got my bike running so I finally got to ride it!  Basically my 1st time on a bike too so it was scary up until I got on it and started cuisin on our street.  Then I just got a huge grin.  Its freakin awesome :)  I rode to the end of our street and turned in the culdesac.  Coming up to the turn I got nervous too, but it turned out to be no sweat.  Rode back up to the driveway and Eric said I was doing great so I kept going to the other end of our street towards the highway.  Got to the end and slowly(like2MPH)turned back around.  Came back past the house and did a loop of the block getting up to 3rd on the street that runs parallel with ours.  Super sweet, made all the turns and shifted properly, came to the stop sign and was able to stop and go without killing the bike.  But the diaphram problem is still there so I had to stop.  Ready to try again!

I got this from one of my best friends Gin.  I liked it a lot so I thought I would post for all to see.

 

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.


Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the
handlebars to the saddle.


Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until
About 60 mph!

You start the game of life with a full pot o' luck and an empty
Pot o'experience... The object is to fill the pot of experience before
You empty the pot of luck.


If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.


Midnight bugs taste just as bad as Noon time bugs.


Saddlebags can never hold everything you want,
but they CAN hold everything you need.


It takes more love to share the saddle than it does
to share the bed.


The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your
rearview mirror.


Never be afraid to slow down.


Don't ride so late into the night that you sleep
through the sunrise.


Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before
you can think straight.


Riding faster than everyone else only guarantees
you'll ride alone.


Never hesitate to ride past the last street light at
the edge of town.


Never do less than forty miles before breakfast.


If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.


A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.


Respect the person who has seen the dark side of motorcycling and lived.



Young riders pick a destination and go...
Old riders pick a direction and go.


A good mechanic will let you watch without
charging you for it.


Sometimes the fastest way to get there is to
stop for the night.


Always back your bike into the curb,
and sit where you can see it.


Work to ride & ride to work.


Whatever it is, it's better in the wind.


Two-lane blacktop isn't a highway - it's an attitude.


When you look down the road, it seems to never end
but you better believe, It does!

Winter is Nature's way of telling you to polish.


Keep your bike in good repair: Motorcycle boots are NOT
Comfortable for walking.


People are like Motorcycles: each is customized a bit differently.


Sometimes, the best communication happens
when you're on separate bikes.


Good coffee should be indistinguishable from
50 weight motor oil.


The best alarm clock is sunshine on chrome.


The twisties - not the superslabs
separate the riders from the Wanna Bes.


When you're riding lead, don't spit.


A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at
2 am to drive his Pickup to the middle of
nowhere to get you when you're broken down.

Without asking What the hell were you doing?

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph
can double your vocabulary.


If you want to get somewhere before sundown,
you can't stop at Every tavern.


There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.


Don't lead the pack if you don't know where you're going.


Practice wrenching on your own bike.


Everyone crashes. Some get back on.

Some don't. Some can't.


Don't argue with an 18-wheeler.


Never be ashamed to unlearn an old habit.


A good long ride can clear your mind,
restore your faith, and use Up a lot of fuel.


If you can't get it going with bungee cords and
electrician's tape, it's serious.


If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be.


Bikes parked out front mean good
chicken-fried steak inside.


There are drunk riders.

There are old riders.

There are NO old, drunk riders.


Thin leather looks good in the bar,
but it won't save your butt
From "road rash" if you go down.


The best modifications cannot be seen from the outside.


Always replace the cheapest parts first.


You can forget what you do for a living when
your knees are in the breeze.


Patience is the ability to keep your motor idling.


Only a Biker knows why a dog sticks his head
out of a car window.


Keep the paint up, and the rubber down!

There are two types of people in this world,
people who ride motorcycles and people who
wish they could rid e motorcycles.


Never try to race an old geezer,
He may have one more gear than you.


Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck.


REMEMBER
There is a reason you don't see! Motorcycles in front of Psychologist's
Offices!!

Hmmmmm.  So I am thoroughly enjoying browsing this site and all the beautiful bikes you guys and gals are posting.  But I'm hoping to reach all the people with no pics and tell them to post pics of their bikes.  If ya don't want to post a self pic thats fine but don't leave the bike out!  I love logging in and checking out what each new member posts on their profile and all the shots of bikes.  The photo gallery is my favorite and I spend a lot of time there just browsing and commenting all your slick, beautiful, custom, racing, dirtbiking, and so on. I could go on with the variety but its freakin awesome!  all of it!  When I went to the ROT rally here last June, I spent lots of time in my camping chair with my camera just taking pics of all the bikes going by our camp site.  Its one of the best things about bikes...they're all so different.  I never find one exactly the same, because everyone personalizes their bike to some extent whether they bought a bike, completely gutted it, and redid it or just added some small stuff.  You just never know what you're gonna get and thats half the fun for me!  So thanks to those of you posting your bikes' pics - they're all great.

Well, I worked at a rock quarry called Cobra Stone in Florence, TX. They just opened up a rock yard in Granbury, TX. It was such a pretty day on Friday the 23 of January that I decided to ride my bike up to Granbury (180 mile ride there). I get up to the rock yard cause I have to do the networking for the computers at this brand new location. There aren't any customers yet since it just opened up about a week ago. The only people there are me, a sales rep who is inside of the office the whole time, the secretary who is inside of the office all day as well, and the owner and his brother who are in and out all day. I get done wiring up the computers and the phone lines and before I take the 180 mile ride back I have to stop at Staples to return some stuff I didn't need. when I got to my bike I noticed that my helmet which was on my seat is now on a landscaping boulder next to my bike. Well i didn't think much of it. I rode to staples and just happen to look at my gas tank and noticed a glob of mud.. What the hell, so I wiped off the glob of mud and saw scratches on the gas tank. Needless to say my blood boiled seeing how I have only made 4 payments to this brand new ZX10-R. I parked the bike at staples and further examined it at staples and saw scratches on the Right Fairing, the right mirror, the nose, and scratches on the brand new two brothers carbon fiber muffler I just installed. Being furious I called the owner and asked him if dropped my bike. He said no. He sais that he sat on my bike putting my helmet on the landscaping boulder but he didn't drop my bike. He was next to his brother and told me maybe his brother did. so he passed the phone to his brother and his brother said no as well. His brother told me that he ran a water hose by the bike to water the new trees they just planted. So I drove back to the rock yard and they weren't there. I waited for them to get back and when they did they both wouldn't even look at my bike, I walked up to them and asked them again, which one of you dropped my bike. They both denied it. The Owner of the place goes to my bike and said what scratches, They are not bad, you can't even see them (the scratches aren't too bad). He told me that I am making a big deal out of nothing. Of course I told him Bullshit. Well i had just noticed the rear fairing pulled apart and no scratches on it. That tell me that they were both out there when it happened cause when a bike falls over you pick it up by the handle bars, but if two people were out there then one grabs the handle bars and the other grabs the rear, in this case they grabbed the rear fairing not knowing how to lift it properly. He told me that that was enough and he didn't want to hear about it any more. End of discussion. Of course I told him , OK well I will make sure of that and gave him back his company phone. So I quit.

It just sucks that they were covering up for each other, of course, they are brothers. If they would have been men about it and not pussies about it and told me, I would have been pissed at first and I would have calmed down cause the scratched aren't too bad at all. Its the principle and point behind this matter. How do you work for someone who lies to you like that. Even after the millions this man has, he is too cheap to pay for something he did. After all he did admit to sitting on my bike with out my permission.

Well had a change of plans and ended up riding at Cherokee Creek again with my buddy Blair. Blair rides a CRF 450 X so a day in the woods was looking to be a lil more fun and more fast paced than riding around with the mini's. =) The rain this week definitely knocked a bunch of the dust down and created some good ol mud and tons of puddles throughout the whole place. Blair figured out pretty quick to gtfo the way if i was heading for a puddle hahaha. So as we are haulin ass around Cherokee and hoppin right through the trail system i decided to see if i could up my normal pace some and payed the good ol price. Darn sand kept my front tire washin out left and right in some funky spots and i just bo0m fell, or wham hit a tree, once smashed my left hand hard against a tree (no broken fingers) , smacked my helmet against about oh..3 trees lol, got a couple face slappers prretty good one caught me in the goggle took em off and got me in the eye pretty good, my right arm got a lil slashed by some branch, and i got pinned against a tree somewhere in the "long" trail system hahaha. Shit was awesome! except for the one in the eye...motherfrakker. All in all it was a great day. Didn't break anything the front brake master cylinder started spurting out fluid after one fall, but i went back to camp tightened that shit up and took off with my brakes workin. Wo0t. I think i have vastly improved since my first day at cherokee with 32 falls, yesterday was only 15 so ha! =P

I wish that the person in the fast lane driving 5 mph below the speed limit would move the hech out of the way.  @$$h0l3$.

People who think that they have the right of way at every intersection. Learn the LAW.

I hate it when you turn on your turn siginal and the jerk next to you thinks that they have to speed up and not let you in front of them cause you just might make them 1 second LATE.

Why is it that when you finally put the effort and clean you car or bike nicely that it seems to rain the next day!

This email was forwarded from my mother inlaw and since it caught me completely off guard and made me laugh, I wanted to share.


A crusty old biker out on a long summer ride in the country pulls up to a tavern in the middle of no where, parks his bike and walks inside.

As he passes through the swinging doors, he sees a sign hanging over the bar:

COLD BEER: $2.00

HAMBURGER: $2.25

CHEESEBURGER: $2.50

CHICKEN SANDWICH: $3.50

HAND JOB: $50.00


Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary payment, the ole' biker walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled farmers.

She glides down behind the bar to the ole biker.

"Yes?" she inquires with a wide, knowing smile, "may I help you?"

The ole biker leans over the bar, "I was wondering young lady," he whispers, "are you the one who gives the hand-jobs?"

She looks into his eyes with that wide smile and purrs "Why yes, yes, I sure am".

The ole' biker leans closer and into her left ear whispers softly, "Well, wash your hands real good, cause I want a cheeseburger".

Well I know i have been a member lurking around here for a while but the weather here in VA SUCKS right now for riding or anything having to do with the outdoors. Today I went to the upholstery shop and I must say DAMN this guy is good. I cant wait to get the seats done its just one step closer. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be good and i have plans of pulling my front end off the trike and replacing it with my new all white powder coated springer. Pics are coming soon I promise. The Monster is coming alive now that the paint is all done and its been wet sanded and buffed time to start reassembly. Until next time PEACE

Alright so I just checked the ROT rally website and they're starting to post the coming attractions.  My personal favorite added to the roster is midget wrestling!  They also listed the TX Chop off which sounds pretty freakin cool.  All the RV slots on the parade route are sold out but I believe there is some sort of waiting list for cancellations that might come up.  The official site is www.rotrally.com -there is still camping available and plenty of hotels in Austin (if you reserve early enough, I imagine).  The dates are June 11-14 2009, so everybody start makin your plans cause its one badass TX biker party!  :)-LilMomma

I saw this and thought that we could all benifit from it. It is called magic Jack. You plug it into your pc and it allows you to make calls throughout the country for free. You can plug multiple jacks into one pc or multiple jacks into different pc's for extra lines. It looks like it is $40.00 for the jack for the first year and then $20.00 each additional year. The url is below.

5 Things your cell phone might do


5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do -- Things That Could Benefit You

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet.
Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually
be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of
your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network
to establish the emergency number for you, and this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is
locked. Try it out.

SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in
handy someday. . . If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home
on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have
the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car
will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be
hundreds of miles away. If you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock
the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!'

THIRD
Hidden Battery Power... Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell
phone will restart with this reserve and will show a 50% increase in battery strength. This reserve will get
charged when you charge your cell phone next time.


FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following
digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and
give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card,
your stolen phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but you know that whoever
stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
And finally:

FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411
information calls -when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which
makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:
(800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.

Program this into your cell phone now. This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on
to your family and friends!
