    "When questioned about what action Google – which hosts the most highly
    populated, prominent and least moderated suicide news groups "

    I wonder if the writer was SirTony.

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
    river cleaned out in a day.

    If bits didn't keep falling off, you wouldn't /have/ to ride along
    slowly looking in the ditch for them...
    If you're going to include unqualifiable criteria such as 'character' &
    'soul', I'll have to take your word for it. It seems we're agreed that
    by all measurable criteria though, Harleys are somewhat lacking.
    Purely for the looks, name, & V8 soundtrack. Other than that, it's
    utter shite, & I'm the first to admit it (much to the disgust of most
    merkin 'vette owners...)
    Yes & no. I'd rather have a car that looks & sounds like the 'vette,
    but handles like a proper car, as handling is important to me. Hence
    I've spent a small fortune on a complete suspension system that will
    hopefully improve things somewhat.
    That's what they've always done in the 'discussions' I've had with
    them, apart from the ones who admit to just buying them for the
    name/lifestyle/because they're American. I generally avoid these types
    of threads now though, unless I've got a few hours to kill, such as
    waiting for coats of POR-15 to dry. Incidentally, if anyone knows how
    to get it off your hands/arms/heads, please let me know. I'm plastered
    in the fucking stuff after two days laying under the 'vette painting
    the chassis, & even scrubbing my face with cellulose thinners hasn't
    helped.

    The master cylinder incident was a one off, unlike the fuel cap...
    Ding!

  7. I have more. I didn't know until the other day that White Cliffs of
    Dover was quite the commercial hit in merkania during its day and in
    it's own modest way helped to balance the enormous balance of payments
    deficit that we built up at the time.

    I guess you missed my pathetic attempt at humor - "wouldn't be caught
    dead on a Harley" this being a thread concerning suicide via Harley?

    Anyway, there's good and bad with all bikes. Glad yours are working out
    for you, though.

  10. Me thinks you forget my general feeling on autos...scrap them and build more
    motorcycles! Granted I'd never turn down a FREE 1954 Cadillac Deville
    convertible in an original PINK, tastefully restored. Though with cars I'm not
    sure how you can tastefully restore a car.

    History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational
    basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the
    unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and
    spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from
    fiddling with it.

    Never mind that. But if you can freeze the video at 2:24 or 2:25 etc.,
    wouldn't that be a Chevy Camaro hitting the dozer blades?

    Check it out and see.

    The producers know the absurdity of it won't be questioned.
    Sort of like the Bush regime's 9-11 production. Steel framed
    skyscrapers can't disintegrate at free fall speed and perfect
    symmetry if someone lights a couple of fires in them, but most
    sheeple "think" it's normal and expected.

    Here's what happens to steel framed buildings exposed
    to raging infernos for hours on end.

    http://davesweb.cnchost.com/nwsltr69c.html

    On 9-11-01, WTC7, a 47 story steel framed building, which
    had only small, random fires, dropped in perfect symmetry
    at near free fall speed as in a perfectly executed controlled
    demolition.

    U.S. taxpayer dollars spent each DAY in Iraq?

    there is no limit to the innocent lives they are willing to
    take... men with blind hatred and armed with lethal weapons
    who are capable of any atrocity... they respect no laws of
    warfare or morality."

    You saying this ain't a rabbit? If it ain't, then why the 'thumper'
    thing? What's with you fellers who want to emulate yourselves with the
    sound of a v-twin? It's been done before and it's boring.

    Find something new to do. Be creative and original.
