I saw this Classic in Germantown on my Motorbike Excursion last week. It was in the shop for some minor maintenance.

Guns are not high on my list, even as a Pro-2A guy. There are more important things to deal with at the moment. If this year has taught me anything, it's that Healthcare and Education in this nation are what's preposterous. Nobody is confiscating 300 million firearms. I have seen our military leaders push back on Trump enough to know they will push back on Biden/Harris, as well. Trump set his tone with the military when he let the most qualified man on the planet walk away from his own cabinet appointment. Irrational 2-A fears and Pro-Life (registered trademark) propaganda take a back seat to issues that matter for the time being. We share this planet with a whole lot of folks that think our military leader is out of his mind with runaway narcissism. He is a 72 year old adolescent in an adult's role. That's the shit that can bring real consequences on a global scale. The most powerful military force this planet has seen in its multi-billion year existence is wielded by Donald J. Trump. Am I THAT out of touch? How is Biden possibly any worse than giving the keys to the DoD hotrod to an obtuse, infantile teenager?

Trump has done more to damage the 2nd amendment than any president in recent history. He banned bump stocks, killed the hearing protection (surpressor) bill, and advocates people on secret govt lists be stripped of their 2A rights without due process. During the first 2 years of his presidency the GOP held the house and the senate and still passed not a single pro‐gun law. Now Biden is also garbage, so don't take this as some endorsement of his horrible policy, but trump is clearly not a pro gun president if you look not at what he says, but what he does.

Those grips are tiny and not very comfortable for long rides. I had grip puppies on the Hyper but they were too bulky for my preference. I wanted to increase the grip circumference without negatively impacting my abiltiy to operate the motorcycle. The idea popped into my head the last WV trip I did on the beemer. Those grips are too small, as well. I just got to these grips first. The results are satisfying. The tape is Lizard Skinz and it's 2.5mm thick. The tape is very grippy, but not sticky. They were super comfortable on the trip and I never noticed them until I sat on the bike to take off. 750 miles and not thinking about them says a lot to me. It tells me that fixed my issue perfectly.

I'm happy to tag along depending on the current happenings. Any NEO rides are good for me as they mean I'm closer to home. One of the joys for me is being a part of a ride that I'm not leading. It allows me to focus only on the road in front of me and decompress from the stress of everyday life. A little Rider fellowship and hearty meal can cure just about anything. Don't get me wrong, I will gladly lead and take my turn. It's just a guilty pleasure to not have that responsibility now and again. I'm looking forward to next season!

I remember when we all thought obama was coming for our guns, and he didn't do much aside from the eric holder scare about surplus ammo. I expect these crackheads to campaign on radical policies, then they get into office and it's mostly more of the same

For me the decision is more basic than that. If I have to shoot that means I am defending my life. That means shoot until the threat is for sure neutralized.

The guys we took the class with said if your going to shoot, empty the mag. A dead man can't try to sue you or tell lies about what happen.

You can have my Super Soaker when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Healthcare is a fiasco starting with Obamacare. Trump's only mistake there was fighting to get it removed instead of producing a viable alternative. I laugh when people say government is wasteful and corrupt but want more government control over healthcare and education. Australia used gun buy backs to take about 1/3 of the guns the country had. I'd bet it's the law abiding and people that don't have them "high on the list" that it affected most. Criminals certainly didn't give up theirs. Mattis fanboy...Trump has allowed the military to all but eliminate the al-qaeda that Obama and neocons empowered. Trump is letting the generals run the military and it's gained ground by leaps and bounds. But if you're watching CNN, you won't hear about it. Are you a neocon or something? We don't belong policing the world. If you argured that Trump is still hunting down al-qaeda leaders you'd be right, but they are backpedaling on their heals. We need to get troops back home. Mattis knows what chain of command is and he broke it. Biden will continue to sell out this county to foreign influence. Our economy will crash except for government employees. When you control a man's paycheck and healthcare, you have total control over them. You should read history books and learn.
