    Show us your motorcycles!

    I bet it feels allot faster when on something like that, and I suppose any speed you can't run is too fast when the bike starts to fall apart. Since my last pic I have fitted new Norman Hyde M bars to my dear Ruby, vintage style brown barrel grips, and a Benji headlight bucket which allows...

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    I found myself cursing more often in my everyday speaking than I preferred and was once told it made me sound unintelligent. I started changing out the harsh stuff for more British equivalents.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Btw thank you for calling me a fair minded person, I believe that you are one as well and that your goals are noble. :)

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    My situation has always been like the one Matt described. Growing up, nobody cared what was on your property. My Mom kept a meticulous lawn while my neighbor didn't. We weren't paying his bills, or having to live there, so we just carried on. We had our land, he had his, and his wife would...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Slavery is a despicable system which completely disregards the individual's rights as a whole. In a libertarian society, there would be major laws against slavery; among them being laws against kidnapping, false imprisonment, forced labor, assault, and many others. As for the south in the 1960's...

    Night Owls only

    Bugs aren't so much of an issue in the city here; the country is a much different story. If there were going to be any large animal likely to get hit here, it would be a cow. They tend to be more foreseeable though.

    That poster helps nobody. Instead of painting motorcycles as death traps, they should be trying to raise awareness that cars and trucks are very heavy, very large projectiles which are capable of very high speeds. Lizzie has mentioned before about how cars these days are equipped with cup...

    This is the kind of thing I had in mind when I used the word cruel. For some reason, somebody referring to me as an "organ donor" makes me a bit angry. There are a whole lot more car and truck drivers on the road who are unfit to adequately operate their two ton projectiles then there are unfit...

    Night Owls only

    Around 1:00-5:00 AM is a good time to be on a motorcycle. The roads are empty, the city is quiet, you can see for miles down some roads. You may see a cop or two, may come across somebody who wants to race, but the best part is the solitude. The air is cool, but not chilling. A slight bit of...

    Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom

    Were I to buy a pith helmet, you are wearing the same style I would go after. I'm sure traffic didn't just stop, but come to a screeching halt.

    Vintage Police Uniforms

    I want those gloves and gaiters. The hat too. I wonder what he had against the police department? He seems pretty adamant about stopping the police seeing as he took the time to light up his protest sign :p

    Is it just me, or does that uniform look more European than Japanese?

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    Please everyone, I never meant to start an argument over personal liberty. I had written a lengthy counter point on the side of libertarianism, but remembered that this is a thread on things that weren't so great in the golden age... on a forum which is supposed to be a happy place. Normally the...

    In New Mexico there aren't any helmet laws for people over the age of 18. We do have a universal seat belt law, which I find rather odd. @V.C. Brunswick, Lots of the public are still uninformed about AIDS. I remember how my Elementary School actually had somebody with AIDS come in and let us...

    Any Cigar Afficionados Out There?

    I mostly stick to pipe tobacco these days, but I like Fuente cigars. I intended on getting an Opus X for my 18th birthday, but didn't get to my tobacconist in time. I wound up buying a grape Phillies for my friend and I at a 7 eleven and smoking it at the foothills. I still have the tube it came in.

    Let's talk Irish Whiskey....

    I like Jameson. I keep a bottle on stock for making Irish coffee in cold weather. I go all out when I make it: two mixing spoons of turibinado sugar in a heated Irish coffee mug, a bit of dark roast coffee in the mug to melt the sugar. I break out the heavy cream and get to whipping in the...
