Re: Educate me please

I was a union worker for over 15 years. When I left the union my standard of living increased. I will never (I know never say never) work as a union employee again as long as I live. I have no use for the blood suckers. If you want a lesson in nepotism and favoritism just join a union. If you want s...

Re: Dear That Guy

Dear That Guy, Yeah, you! The one that sees me behind you and thinks you're being courteous by pulling waaaayyyy over to the right side, off the shoulder so I can see around you to pass. DON'T!!!

Good choice. I ride an '07 1200C with SEII muffs. on it and it sounds sick! My buddy rides an '07 Super Glide with drag pipes on it and it sounds sick! My 1200 runs circles around his bike.
