Midknight Review -- new and revised: My VTX 1800. It just made a show list of bikes appearing on Google. A serious 740 pound cruiser. I put 9,000 miles on it, this year - summer and winter

My VTX 1800. It just made a show list of bikes appearing on Google. A serious 740 pound cruiser. I put 9,000 miles on it, this year - summer and winter - I ride everyday except when snowing.

Yes, the image will get larger if you click on it

I ride with a windshield in the winter. It has Vance/Hines pipes - maybe the best big bike sound outside of a Harley. It has a hyper air-intake system, highway bars with added pegs, an electric source mounted to the handle bars, custom running lights, custom seat, leather travel bags, $800 of travel wear including head coverings, boots, chaps and rain gear. Tools and helmets (3 each) finish out my investment.

"Junk !!!" Wow, you really know how to hurt a guy, bicycle boy. Try to hold back your tears.

One thing for sure, I have explored more wilderness than you have dreamed about.

On foot, moron. High wilderness backpacking, cross country (no trails) -- all of it at 9,ooo to 12,ooo feet - the Mineral King area here in California, if you want to check out a map of my old stomping grounds.

My knees are "gone," so I ride the big bike.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
