One of my neighbors just paid over 13k for a two year old Deuce with about 5,000 miles. Pretty, LOTS of chrome. I stood there, nodding my head, saying how pretty it was, all the while thinking “Geez, for that much money he could have gotten a Rocket III.” So now he has a bike no one will notice, that I can out run with my BA and that cost him more than twice what a two year old BA would run.

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.
