That gay laying on the ground was a brave man no matter how slow the rider was going!

I didn’t realize that superb handling was a female attribute. In the future I will try to be more understanding while in conversation with my wife.


Looks like a lot of fun was had by some folks at the factory


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

That was great.
Now I doubt we will ever see HD making self depracting humor part of their ad campaign.
