  10. Patriot Guard Riders?

    OMG! How can "christian" people be so self righteous???? It brings chills down my spine... So sad. I remember the interview with the crazy B*tch on Sean Hannity's Fox News.

    I am a very peaceful person, but these people bring out the worst in me and I would probably become physical if I would ever run into any of these. :mad:

    Ignorant Morons!!!!!!

    I must say though, I think all these young people losing their lives over there have died in a country that will never change... Not saying that because I disagree with them being there, but they are being slaughtered and that is what upsets me to no end.

    Not in battle but by roadside bombs, put there by cowards, with these soldiers never standing a chance.... :(

    Bring our troops home - ALIVE!!!

    I actually thought they are all veterans and only ride cruisers...Hm, how can you ride with them? I first heard of them when we were still stationed in Germany about 4 months ago, when one of the guys I knew died in a MC crash in Belgium. He was flown home to the US and was escorted by the Patriot Guard Riders.

    I think it is so awesome when they do their escorts, I have thought about riding with them, but I think I am too emotional for it. :(

    V4Junkie,

    well, I guess everybody has to figure this out by himself, however. 1 or 2 fingers won't do the job if you really need to do an emergency stop, hitting deep into the iron and doing it correctly.

    If anything, the other 3 fingers will prevent you from actually going into the iron completely. It might be sufficient for slow speeds but when you are at a good traveling speed that is a totally different story.

    Also that finger on the brake might "save" you a millisecond of manovring the hand to break, but that might also prevent you from not using the break in a situation where it can get you in trouble.

    btw, someone here compared dirtriding with streetriding - riding in the dirt requires a different skill than riding on the road. Breaking for example, when your rearbrake locks up you can release it again on dirt, you should refrain from doing that on asphalt.

    But like I said, everybody does how they like best. Any MSF Instructor will tell you not to cover the front break while "riding". Especially not with 2 fingers or breaking with 2 for that matter. We try to get a rider off to a good start, and it is hard to break bad habits.

    This thread would go on and on because some people won't think about it or do not want to consider changing.

    So do what you can to be safe. :-) Don't take unnessecary risk and keep the rubberside down. :D

    btw, V4Junkie, I have been licensed and riding for 22 years (referring to your message you left for me :p).

    Hit the red quote button in the lower right. Edit out pics and stuff not needed, but leave the "quote name;number" at the start and the "/quote" at the end.

    Using the brackets of course, which I can't use here because it will try to quote...

    Use the advanced button, and the preview post button, to see what it does before posting.

    let's see...
