(...not of course that this will change anyone's mind here, as I'm more than certain that some here will be able to single out some aspect of this report which they'll use to discredit it...now MY bet is that someone will state that because it's a CNN report and not a Fox News report, that that ALONE would be sufficient reason for it...anybody up for a bet here?...I'll EVEN give ya 2 to 1 odds here...no more than THAT though...AND, this bet HAS to be placed BEFORE I get my shinny red Indian Springfield delivered to me by the middle of next week...and so don't delay here, guys...time's a WASTIN' here!!!)






Piffle! I'll be long dead before it affects me. Now, on to the important stuff: Shiny red Springfield, you say?





Yep Steve, the big ol' classic lookin' touring cruiser should be delivered to me from a Chicago area BMW m/c dealership within the week.

Been wantin' one ever since Polaris debuted their Indian line back in '14, and so I finally pulled the ol' trigger on one when I found a barely slightly used '16 Springfield with only 1400 miles on it via the internet a couple weeks back. Figured it saved me over 6 Grand by buying one that someone else took the ol' depreciation hit by buying new.

(...and needless to say, I've been like a kid waitin' for Christmas morning to come ever since)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
