Do you think that the NFL Players in London's Wembley Stadium that took a knee for the USA Anthem but stood for “God save the Queen” have any idea about the history of the British empire? Mr. Kaepernick, Are there people of color in India and the middle east? https://listverse.com/2014/02/04/10-evil-crimes-of-the-british-empire/

Here is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins. Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly insulted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward. Let's ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns. The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60's alive. Gone. It's offensive to us white folk. The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men's lives. I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres. Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates! Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children. The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children. The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children. The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children. So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves. As a diehard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women's athletic teams to something other than "the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers??? I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the "Foreskins" to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Washington DC.

Great Post HD but you left out the last part of the statement authored by Stanislaus Drew "Take a Knee" Cont: If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for preserving this country for as long as He has. We'll beg forgiveness for our ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all...because He is the one who provides those things. And there will be no protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the brave It goes like this... "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" by Stanislaus Drew

Toppa, How did the mountains and valleys of Kentucky treat you on your first big Adventure Tour? KAT Report & Photo's? I hope you had a good time. Greg is good people.

Doc, Your commitment to early apex path of travel on some of the blind corners while leading out front scares the poo out of me. You do look good and that really is all that matters. I am real good at screwing up corners but that's why we practice, right? Let's go ride some more!! Great Video, Derek B. 5:26 Sign Info, 5:26 "Yikes!"

Don't be riding that great looking motorcycle you have off-road now. Good job of saving yourself for another day of riding.

Sorry, can't make it. Wife and I are up on the BRP, peaks of otter tonight. be home Sun. Next time Jacob.

I escorted Doc to Hocking Hills after skipping the meal in Caldwell. I Hope he made it to his destination, He seem tired. I went to dinner later and could have sworn I saw Doc with a pack of Harley Pirates at a local watering hole. He had a Vest on with "Property of Neil Ubich" and his new biker name on the front was "Love Doctor" I hope he comes back to us soon. I would hate to see him operating a Aid Station at Sturgis next year.

Hi Riden, I enjoyed our 536 dance of the Z's with you. Nothing happened on 78 just riding a un-faired Z1k standard with a strong headwind can wear this old man out, a little.

Great day. Thanks for putting up with me Durk&TreeFime. I had so much fun. it was nice to meet so many riders. Also thanks to Derek for the highway upper body workout on 78. You are my personal highway strength trainer. Doc, I enjoyed the ride home to the Hock. Got home splashed water on my face and drove the wife to Lancaster for dinner in the car like a madman. my sense of speed was still on 78.

Last time I lead a ride I guided Jschaf down some unexpected route diversions to include a small water crossing and farm animals. Old people get misplaced often when they decide to disconnect from what is now considered normal life. I just can't get this "Maps-to-GPS" thingy to xfer correctly.

Took a spin around my neighborhood in the Hock area. 328,56,278,691,595,93 all wet this am but many have grass and dirt from the ROW mowing that's getting completed before the fall deadline. this should be washed off for the week end and will open up the roads a little. Derek's corner at 56/356 is not finished yet but they are working on it. again I asked for more run off and sand traps but they just looked at me with that bent head tilt look. 52 sec clip of intersection.

I know, it's been seven day's and I'm gnawing at the bit. Let's get this party started Now!
-
Will there still be Donuts at the fall "Not so Epic ride" now? Get well soon Jim.

Weather permitting I should be able to make this Roar... B.
