  1. Made a trip over to Lancaster and back today. Not far, I know, but taking it at 80 made it kind of fun......and it didn't take long either. Beautiful fall day, gots to grab them when we can these days...;)

  2. I disagree. We already have too many unemployeds. Adding more potential workers to an already overburdened labor system, educational system, ss system, health care system does not add up.

    Take the new legislation in Alabama.

    "Read Alabama's Immigration Law, Signed on June 9, 2011"

    http://www.whnt.com/news/whnt-read-alabamas-immigration-law-signed-on-june-9-2011-20110609,0,964137.story

    The ultimate undoing of ANY reform of immigration is that it'll cost the wealthy business owners money, and they'll do ANYTHING to protect that labor supply.

    Republicans want to protect the virtual slave labor the the mega farms and big businesses have and the Democrats want the new crop of social welfare junkies to vote for them and theirs. It's a win win for them and a lose lose for us. Remember this, the bottomline for the deciders, those politicians who are the paid for sellouts, is $$$money$$$= votes= re election = $$$money$$$.

    The irony of this is (the new Alabama law) is its doing one thing: Its PROVING that the illegal issue can be addressed. They (Illegals) are leaving Alabama in droves and taking their anchor babies with them.

    JUST ENFORCE THE LAW.

  3. The Yammie V Star line is nice with some big boys that are said to be some nice rides.

    But there is something about riding a Harley that sets it apart imho.

    I have helped several people find and buy some nice metric cruisers and am amazed at how different different bikes of the exact same makeup (brand, size, accessories) can be to ride. Reinforces how important it is to test ride them all. For instance I found my wife's V Star 650 Classic and its a great riding, operating bike. I helped her friend trying to find one and could not find one to match how good a quality feeling ride my wife's bike is. Ended up finding her a 750 Honda that felt right. conversely when looking for a bike for the wife most of the Hondas felt like pos's.....go figure...lol.

    Good luck!

  4. Rode a few short shorts this weekend. Twice to Chilli, and Sun we rode down to Jimbo's for some eats. But they were out of hamburger! Seems over 1000 visited the place Sat and they went through over 300 lbs of burger! We had to settle for pulled pork, but man that was still good. Took the long way back, turn here, turn there, go down a stretch, turn there.....until we made it back to Circleville. What a glorious day!

    Hope everyone made it home safe.

    Sat, came up on someone on a Valky sitting at the corner of Kingston Pike and 56 about 11 am or so. Nice bike. Never knew they were 6 bangers. The guy had a 276 (I think that was the road number) sticker on the back of his helmet. Him and another bike went south on 56, we swung onto Kingston Pike headed for Chilli. I wondered if it was anyone from here....

  5. Build a 50 ft high wall, with 50 ft footers, using labor provided by the illegals caught here. When its finished heave them back over the border, then mount armed snipers with 50 cal. autos. Its time to get serious about the invasion. They cost the nation $billions$ in health care costs alone. You do not reward lawbreakers by changing the laws but instead enforce them.

  6. I believe Perry said he is doing the same for illegals in Texas. During the debate in Fla he defended his actions saying it was the right thing to do. But there they had to have been living in Tx for 3 yrs to be eligible.

    There is something terribly wrong with the system, and those instituting such a system, when this is allowed to happen.

    And people wonder why we are beginning to see huge demonstrations against 'the machine'.

  7. Thanks for the Welcome! Do most of the riders here ride the sleeker bikes? Not seeing much from the HOG types!

    Seems therre is a good mix of all types of bikes here although sport bikes outnumber the cruisers imho. I have found that like anywherre there are those who automatically do the association game-you are the type of bike you ride-, but most just look at it like me. Its the ride, the journey, not the bike upon which you make your trek.

    Welcome to a great Ohio Motorcycle site!

  8. I remember on the driver's exam from way back in the day there's a question about making eye contact and all that... And I don't think a driver has the legal power to change the right of way. Right of way is determined by traffic items like lights, signs, lanes, and posted information... It's not changeable by Joe Schmoe :p

    "I'm sorry, your honor, the light was red, but she waved me on anyway!"

    I believe we have a winner. :cool:

  9. What kills me is they don't realize that the "bad" people that are carrying now and drinking are still going to be doing the same while the people that are out following the law are the ones that will be victims!!

    Exactly the point of allowing ccw's in the first place. A well armed citizenry...see a robbery using a gun....1 to the head stops it everytime....;)

  10. Not an Apple user here but I feel even though many of us may not utilize any of their hardware we all have felt the ripple of this man's innovationary mind in that this ripple was felt and responded to by so many other manufacturers that much of the technology we now have is because of this man's thinking mind.

    RIP...the world is a better place for having had Steve Jobs in it and its all our loss for having him gone.
