Well Rob, ONCE AGAIN that bad ol' Mainstream Media(or at least this particular blogger, in this case anyway) have got it ALL WRONG!!!
They're not "tryin' to ban chrome"! NO!!!
My sources tell ME that what the DOT REALLY said was that they're tryin' to ban GNOMES!!!
You know, like those little gremlin suckers that cause all those problems out there on the road and which SOME FOLKS then put those funky little BELLS on their bikes as some sort'a protection against 'em!!!
(I guess the thinking at the DOT was, "Ban the gnomes, and then there'd be less reason for folks to put those funky little bells on their motorcycles"!!!)
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)

I thought jokes went in the lounge. Maybe somebody didn't read all the way to the bottom.

Yep, Rob! It happens around here all the time, it seems. Yep! And I'm guessin' it's 'cuz one of the Moderators 'round here who evidently must've dropped out of their Evelyn Wood Speed-Reading course before they graduated, "jumps the gun" now and then!!!!

...OR..."maybe", said Moderator "might have" forgotten to..ahem...CHECK THEIR FRIGGIN' CALENDER TODAY!!! And then they "might've" noticed that it's the "FOIST" DAY of APRIL!!!
(but 5'll get cha ten" that IF said Moderator who moved this thread to the "Legislation Forum" SEES THIS and wishes to explain this move, that he'll give us the rationale that he's ALWAYS movin' threads to their proper place that all of us "Chucleheads" 'round here keep puttin' in the WRONG place...and he WOULD have a point there, ya know!!!)

Chrome is the silent killer," asserts DOT spokesman Melvin P. Meyers, "and if we can rid motorcycles-- especially cruisers-- of the shiny chrome that distracts motorists and causes accidents, our roads will be a safer place."
I'm thinking if we can encourage wider acceptance of "Safety" yellow adopted by some Goldwinger's, the world would be a happier place ~ yellow orthopedic knee socks optional, no sense getting carried away.

Well as I drive around in my 38.5 MOG Hyundai, I'm tired of headlights in my rearview mirror! Let's ban SUVs all together while we're at it, or their CHROME bumpers and grills that distract me...
