Yea I know its kind of funny. I didn't know a little post about a ride on a sunday afternoon would stir up so much. I thought It belonged here in a motorcycle forum more than alot of things that get posted. Shoulda put some pics. I also shoulda put -er in the rides forum.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I would like to add that I respect your input Chad and that we shouldnt take all these stabs at each other so seriously. It is afterall just cabin fever except for Dwight who is just like that anyway.  A good descriptive post is just as good as pics in my opinion.

Well okay, maybe not "greatly exaggerated". Maybe by only a year and a month.

Hey, THAT Langhorne's pretty good too, Tom!   Hmmmm, ya know, speakin' of coincidences here Tom...I wonder if this Langhorne was also born during a year Halley's Comet made a pass by us? (...I mean, the kid there looks about 25 or so, and Halley's last pass was in 1986!)

I have been trying to figure out the spell check thing. Keith said it made a red line under misspelled words. I can't get the one here on my compu-turd to work in the forum.
He said it was built into the forum. I don't see it.

That's probably because your computer overheated from all your posts and completely blew the circuitry that controls the spell check. Seriously though (again)... there should be a thin squiggly red line showing up under almost everything you type?!?

It's not built into the forum. It's built into the browser. Depends on the browser. Chrome has spell check. Firefox probably does too. Not sure about Internet Exploder.

I don't have it no red squiggly line. I was trying to figure out if it was a function I had to turn on.

If you want to check your spelling Chad.
Type your reply on a Microsoft office document, spell check , then cut and paste.
Works everytime.

Good idea, thanks Frank. That will halp alot. I've been trying to figure out something that will work so Keith will be free to bust someone elses chops for a while. I am glad I am not the only one who misspells words. (now if this thread will only die and go away.)

Should rename it to the "Seinfeld" thread.
Its a thread about nothing that ran way too long and ended baddly.

Firefox definitely has spell check built into it. I get more red squigglies than you can shake a fist at.

Ah, c'mon guys! If we've come to this conclusion about this thread, then what say we at least "class it up" a bit and borrow a line or two from The Bard: Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Wow, ya know, sometimes you guys around here really impress me! And just to show ya how much, here's a little story in this vein.... Ya see, a little while back as some kind of "social experiment", at Cycleworld.com and in the "American Bike" forum I also quoted Shakespeare in a thread just like I did in this thread, just to see if it might solicit a few learned responses from the guys who frequent that part of their website over there. You know, maybe get back somethin' like poetry from Khalil Gibran or Robert Frost just like you guys offered up here. And, as it turned out, I DID receive a few responses in it, BUT unfortunately those who DID attempt a reply in this same manner were only able to offer up efforts much like the following: Roses are red Violets are blue I ride a Harley So f*** you! And so, my little "social experiment" pretty much turned out just as I thought it would!!!!!  (...nah, just kiddin', I really didn't do that...BUT, I'll bet if I WOULD'VE done that, I probably would've gotten somethin' JUST LIKE THAT back in return from that part of their forum over there!!!)
