    Just A Biker

    I got this as an email and thought i'd share. repost or not, i'm sure someone will inform me if it is. "What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger" JUST A 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 when you saw my bike parked out front. 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 car 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 to 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 where born or have their name written over and in 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 she 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 my 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-post this around in hopes that people will understand the biker community.. If you don't re-post this, it stinks to be you. I hope you never lose 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 ARE NOT IN 'YOUR' WAY
  3. i pulled a old Remington Model 34 out my grandfathers house that burnt down 2 weeks ago. he told me to keep it. barrel looks ok but needs cleaned. have to tear it down and see if it made it through the fire. it was in one of the 2 rooms that had no fire damage. oh yeah, made in 1932-1935
  4. i thought about this as a new carry piece also. heard lots of good thing about it. 709 "SLIM" 9MM IN BLUE STEEL
  5. Taurus pt111 and Taurus Ultralite 85 .38 spl. looking to a STI GP6 for winter carry/target.
  6. i never join your session just because of shear embarrassment

  9. thats ok, i feel the same way. i lived there but didn't hang there. For some reason i hung out in the projects.
  10. where abouts? East Canton is what i'm claimin.
  11. yeah, very little sportbikes. i probably saw the same 4. the was a newer r6 in delroy when i was there. i was out around 1:00 and done by 3:00. i need a sportbike... again. who wants to trade their liter bike for my warrior?
  12. i'm kinda mad i missed this thread. but i whip atwood a bit so it wasn't a total bummer.
  13. i took a nice ride around the lake yesterday. lots of bikes. stopped at the delroy ice cream stand for a break and for it being closed there was alot of bike hanging out there takin a break. Beautiful day yesterday. I feel like an ass passing other cruisers but damn, i don't think the warrior is made to go THAT slow. lol i usually take 43 to 171 through Waynesburg then back down 43 to orchardview since my pops lives right there. 171 is a great road but lots of blind hills.
  14. 3 sportbikes turned right onto RT 43 from Orchardview in east canton area... any of you guys? the only bike i noticed was a red and white R1 Atwood was crazy busy yesterday.
