I was listening to a pod cast where they said even if Bud put a pic of Trump and Chewbacka man on their cans it probably wouldn’t help them. — I thought about it for a couple of seconds and decided something like that might actually work. ;)

Apparently all the homosexual bikers showed up.

I just saw a commercial on Bright Eyes last night that showed AB supporting Folds of Honor.

I took advantage of motorcycle trailer selling season in 2014. Got a great deal on a Kendon 2-rail marketed just ahead of Sturgis. My only long haul ride on my Harley Fat Bob occurred in 2012. San Diego to Pocatello at the end of August to go home for my birthday, then a ride back to San Diego to resume work. 1850 miles round trip. The Fat Bob delivered 49 MPG. Long hours in hot, dry air on the bike was certainly a revelation. As much as I might enjoy to ride to Sturgis, it isn't likely to happen. I'm turning 67 in a couple weeks. My bike riding will remain mostly local. Leisure time is getting tilted toward enjoying my ham radio license and equipment.

As much as I enjoy riding my bikes, I've never really embraced the "culture". Sturgis is really a cultural event.

Indian was America’s first motorcycle company. Still in business.

"still in business" is a bit misleading. The brand has been sold several times. The current folks selling 'indians' has little to no relationship with the company that originated the name.

LOL. I seriously considered painting my bike pink. My late wife had a serious thing for the color, and had inflammatory breast cancer. If anyone would have commented on the color, the only answer is “I love my wife”.

Dylan mulvaney visiting the Hell’s Angels encampment would be entertaining.

If you think that watching a trans being banged by an angel is entertaining, I guess you are correct.

Dylan might like the first 10-15 Angels, butt after that, not so much.

I "third" your suggestion, Diana.

World's Fastest Indian is a gem of a movie. I have yet to find even one movie with Sir Anthony Hopkins that is a bad movie. Anthony is perhaps the finest actor alive, IMO.

‘Silence of the Lambs’ scared the cr@p out of me back in the day!

Also loved Sir Anthony in, ‘Howard’s End’ and ‘The Remains of the Day.’

For an offbeat and creepy pick, go with, ‘Magic.’ ;)

“ At least Budweiser expanded their market in gay bars an trannies…”

Not really. They pissed them off, too. A friend of ours works for a local Bud distributor and he told me that their sales guy who works the gay bars in Boystown (Chicago) has been told by the owners not to bother calling on them.

“I'm turning 67 in a couple weeks.”
That is too young to start backing off.
I am 81 and just sold my Suzuki Bandit. Last long ride was at age 74, when I did a 5000 mile round trip to Florida from Southern Arizona. Then the last trip was to Denver not too long after I was diagnosed with CHF in 2019.
After 67 there are lots of miles left in that old body and the Fat Bob. Maybe even an IronButt ride.

Sorry, but your tag is full of you know what.

Apparently your a big believer in the HOMELESS INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

Which people are you advocating for, drugged up people who happen to be veterans. (as an unofficial odd’s maker, my gut tells me that would be 9.9 out of 10 people.) My background to make such a statement. Son of parents who worked for Central Islip Psychiatric Center (Long Island, New York.)

The center was one of the four major hospital "farms" in central Long Island to house the sick from New York City; the others were Kings Park, Pilgrim State Hospital, and Edgewood State Hospital. In 1955 it (Central Islip Nut House, as it was well known locally) housed 10,000 patients, making it the second largest psychiatric hospital in the United States next to Pilgrim State Hospital, which was the largest psychiatric institution ever to exist in the United States.

How big are we talking, how's 1,100 (one-thousand-one-hundred) acres.

How often was I at the NUT-HOUSE? Every day as a minor. Mom worked 8:00 to 4:00 pm., Mon-Fri. Dad Worked 4-12 P.M.

Their were no "DOOR-LATCH-KIDS," back in the day. Dad would drop us off at Mom's car, not an office or some other place that might have adult supervision, THE CAR, which was always locked, to keep the patients from stealing the stupid stuff say like ash-tray's, cigarette-lighter etc., rear-view mirror's etc. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE A LOT, OVER THE YEARS. Oh this was at the time of, you couldn't leave until your replacement showed up to replace you. That meant a lot of 5 minutes or 1/2 hour (or more) pass 4:00 O'clock, before being able to leave the place.

Whiskey
Tango
Fox-Trot

AWESOME looking bike by the way.

I have a garage full of nearly new bikes that haven't been ridden as much as I would like since returning to Pocatello from San Diego. I racked up 1300 miles per month in San Diego. I doubt that I have racked up 1300 miles total since October 2014. I recently acquired a use DR650SE (2015) with 11,000 miles on the odometer. I ordered and installed a Supermoto wheel set from Warp9 racing. 17 inch wheels front and rear with tubeless GPR street tires. Much better fit for my 30" inseam. A different odometer drive and shorter kickstand finished the conversion. The street tires are a better fit for my use case. Offroad adventure travel is pretty much off my list at this point.

Sexual weirdos have been dividing the country for a long time... same with liberal ‘elites’. They want to play that game? Fine. We’ll turn on companies that support them.

Trans going after our children was a bridge too far. The Gay community has to put standards on who can join them and/or benefit under their banner.

We don’t want to look in their bedrooms and we damn sure don’t want to see sexual antics acted out in public libraries and schools in front of children.

If the ONLY requirement to join the ‘community’ is ‘does it make traditional Americans uncomfortable’, then rapists have the right to join and cannibals.. The Gay Community needs to look at who’s joining... then show a little of the much talked about ‘empathy’ for someone other than themselves.
