I have been riding bikes since my first one at 14yo. It was a Rupp Roadster. It was more than a mini bike but less than a motor cycle. I had a 4 horse Tecumseh on it. It was in a fire and my dad bought it for me to rebuild. It was hard to get parts for it even when they were in business. My next bike was a Yamaha 360 1977. My last three bikes were a Harley 883 2008, 2005 Dyna and my last bike 2014 Heritage softail bought new. The idea that Harley Davidsons are somehow are in bad taste is out and out crazy.

I live in realville,The fact is that if you want a highly reliable bike Harley is not it but neither is BMW rated as one of the worst for reliability. I will post a failure rate that shows the Japanese bikes are the most reliable on the market by far. Harley is on top for the happiness factor. More Harley owners are happy with their bike than any other brand.

Harley has a long history and it is much more colorful than any other bike other than maybe Indian but they were out of business for a long time. Harley won the engine wars. Its hard to find a bike that has an inline four in a cruiser especially. I know this to be true that the Japanese bikes are great. I had a Yamaha 750 Tripple, then a Yamaha 700 Maxium. I did nothing to any but standard maintenance. That said there is nothing like the V twin thumping away. Its like saying you can take a ride in a Leer Jet or you can ride in a Boeing B17. If you take the leer jet you are not a plane person. The B17 is a thousand times cooler.

As far as safe, I sold my last Harley about 9 months ago. As I get older I have to admit I don't have the reaction time I had when I was younger. The other is huge factor that no matter how safe you are, how many times you watch out for everything you can not ever watch out for the bad other driver. I have been cut off, run off the main road, drove in front of in that a car will cross the road not seeming to see I was there and almost run into when lane changing. You can never take this into account. Some idiot can just change a lane and smack into you with no warning to detect. I have had deer bolt out of the blue in wooded areas that was way too close for comfort. About a year ago in the US there was a Truck that crossed the line and hit several bikes head on and killed 7 and hurt more. I decided I had a good run and even took a bike trip from Michigan to Washington state in the late 80s. Its time to take my winnings and leave the table. I ended up putting my money from the Harley into a 1980 Pontiac Firebird. It was in a pole barn with other cars in a trust for 35 years. It had only 35k miles original on it. its fun as heck to drive and I get people waving at me almost as much as biker to biker waves.

There is no rust on it at all. It was an Oklahoma car and saw no salt. I just replaced the window sweeps inside and out and had to take the door panels off and I would be hard pressed to get a bit of rust wiping my finger on the inside of the door. No body filler at all on it. On the up side unlike a bike, I can ride in comfort if it starts to rain, or if its cold. On the down side on a good warm sunny day it does not have the same wind in the hair thump thump of my Harley. But on the up side if I get in an accident hit a deer or some idiot runs into me I have a 3800 pound steel cage around me. Don't get me wrong I will always jones for a ride on a bike, and if I did buy another I would most likely be a Yamaha Vstar. No its not a harley but it rides nice has a vtwin and has very little repair issues. I doubt I will but if I did.

Yamaha/Star (11 percent failure rate)
Suzuki and Honda (12 percent)
Kawasaki (15 percent)
Victory (17 percent)
Harley-Davidson (26 percent)
Triumph (29 percent)
Ducati (33 percent)
BMW (40 percent)
Can-Am (42 percent)

Dumb things JWs believed

by JimmyYoung in

i am not talking about the usual crap from the cult writings, but rather things idiots believed on their own.

maybe even helped on by the cult but not directly taught.

i knew an old man now long gone kunde in michigan.

Crap I had forgotten about Homeopathy. My wife almost died when we were dating because her mother and father would not take her to a Dr or hospital when she had rheumatic fever. They lived away in the country and had lived in a big city where there was a dipshit dr Rude who was a Homeopathy dr. He quit his job at GM to move to where the need was great and had no money in 1980 and had no good car to take her even to that Dr. I loaned him my 76 Chevy to take her to that Dr. She went down to 84 pounds. She obviously survived but it could have been different. I knew nothing of Homeopathy and thought it was a legit thing. Once we were married I took a look into it and found that the meds was like putting a drop of the herb or what ever the med was in the ocean. And the even dumber thing was that the more you diluted it the stronger it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0

What’s Your Opinion of Adam Schiff?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i’ve heard some people praise him for his zeal against president trump.

others have not been so praiseworthy toward the california congressman.. today he was so concerned that trump might be so emboldened now that he has won acquittal, that he suggests that trump might make a deal with russia and sell them the state of alaska.

😐.

He is a dipshit

I forgot about some of these you guys bring up.I was told that the purpose of the dinosaurs was to make the earth ready for man, also I know of several people who went to Mexico or had the Mexican Coke cancer shot smuggled in for those who could not go. its Illegal in the USA. My father in law had it brought in for his son. I asked him, if you can not take blood to keep gods law then when the law tells you you can not have some drug and you break the law is that not going against gods law? He told me he did what was right. Just goes to show how they are huge hypocrites. Not sure if it was a Hoxsey shot or what it was but they used to call it the coke shot where I grew up. If anyone knows what that was let me know.

I knew an old man now long gone Kunde in Michigan. He was an elder and would say the dumbest things. He and his wife would go to a chiropractor once a month even though they had little to no money and get an "adjustment" because disease started in the bones and bones being out of place. He would not do anything for a day after to let the adjustment "set". He would say the stupidest things like when you pee you have to get it all out. If you hold some in and don't finish it causes cancer. There was one sister who would sit in the second hall and have a speaker on so she did not have to sit with the others who used soap and shampoo that made her sick. She was sick but in the head not from the smell of soap. One of the idiot elders would say if you have the flu you cut an onion in half and put it next to your bed and it would absorb the sickness. Some of these idiots were so dumb.

Anyone do the Paqui one chip challenge?

by JimmyYoung in

i don't get into the challenge garbage but this one intrigued me.

i bought three because as they run out the price goes up and i was going to resell.

but i decided to do one for myself.

JimmyYoung

I will never be tempted to do it again. I am selling the last two I have. It started in my mouth burning like nothing I have ever tasted even dave's insanity hot sauce. After it started to go away in my mouth so I could handle it it started to make my stomach hurt like nothing I have ever felt, then moved to my intestines. It was hours and I was exhausted after. This AM I found a small piece of the chip about the size of an pencil eraser in the little chip mylar bag. I broke off a piece the size of a grain of rice and did it and that was bad for about 1/2 hour but I could handle it. A full chip was horrible.

I know that some are affected differently but for me it was vomiting and about 3 hours of absolute hell. I would never ever try this again. Anyone else do this challenge?

the Watchtower guide to sex.

by stan livedeath in

it occurs to me the gb probably dont have much experience when it comes (!

) to marital sex guidance, so i think its only fair and reasonable we should put together a few hints to help them publish a suitable guide.. it is well known a lot of jw's get married in order to have sex, and all to frequently the marriages fail, possibly due to sexual problems, so the watchtower guide to sex should prove to be very worthwhile.. any jw courting couple intending to get married should be allowed to have a copy of the guide, and should only be available by a special order through the body of elders.. copies are not available to any single bros and sisters.. all and any advice in it must adhere to bible principles, and certainly no salty language or smut will be allowed.. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

so--to get this started--and in no particular order--here is my first suggestion:.

JimmyYoung

All joking aside, I remember there being an article on no unnatural sex. But it left a lot to interpretation. I have been out for a long time now and don't follow the cult. I had asked an elder what that meant unnatural and was told oral sex, anal sex, masturbation unless it was to get things going for natural sexual intercourse. Can someone post the actual articles on sex over the years? I had several elders who were a bit chatty when we were working tell me the experimenting with different positions was half the fun. I would like to know the official position on sex from the cult. I know that there are elders who think if you are not trying to have a child than you should not be having sex and others who think its a great way to kill half an hour. Thanks for any clarification. BTW my mother had a bible study that was coming along and then dropped out when she was told no oral sex. She said it was a big part of their sex life her and her husband and would not give it up.
