Are Harleys cool?

In my estimation, any bike one chooses to ride is cool. If you want a Harley, get one, it is a matter of personal preference. I would rather have a good, dependable cycle, which most are, than put more money into an image. Some time back, I bought stock in Excelsior-Henderson. The broker said "...

Deadwood fans

My wife and I and a couple we know have seen the first two seasons of "Deadwood" and enjoyed it. We are now looking forward to the final season, which is coming up. Despite the fuss about it, we feel that this is the old west as it was. This series was both well written and well cast. We e...

We are completely surrounded by either national forest or private lands, which are used almost exclusively for hunting. Deer come by our ho...

The music I listen to.

I have listened to country since the late '50's, when it was quite different (and not as accepted/popular) as it is now. Often, others would ask, what is that stuff you are listening to? I would reply, "Before you ridicule it, listen, it tells a story." The artists I listened to then are g...

Good books.

I have read several books, and some of my favorites are "Investment Biker," "Sacajawea," The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Discoverers," and "The Media Lab." Two, like "Investment Biker" and "The Media Lab" are somewhat dated, but a...

Harley/Victory

I would rather see the topic phrased Harley OR Victory. The vs. implies an adversarial situation, whereas a potential buyer has a choice. If I was going to spend the kind of $$$ needed for the likes of these two bikes, I would look at a Victory. From what I have seen, HD does an excellent job of mar...
