Not to continue this thread unabated, but I have noticed the "self first" thing via riding my bicycle and motorcycles over the years. Although I still ride my bicycle, I am not inclined to take major roads to get somewhere any more. I use alternate routes. And, it is almost not enough power to ride a 250 in town any more, something I wouldn't use on the open road. Gotta have at least an older more powerful 450 or larger, to be able to scoot down the road out of reach and range of bullys using their cars to "have fun" harassing people on motorcycles. In fact, I am now looking for a 450 Rebel for my wife. I had originally bought the450 Nighthawk for her but she feels it is to high; so rather than lower it, I just soon find a good Rebel. She didn't understand the reason why I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 250 originally, until one night coming home late from work someone attempted to run her off the road. Following my advice, she dropped it into second and took off WOT until she reached the turnoff for home, which wasn't that far from the incident. Now she's ready to move up, but doesn't want a 650 or larger that is the only choice now - unless you want a scooter. I don't think so.

I somewhat figured they were, but I couldn't be sure. It's an absolute shame that some people see only their rights, and not their responsibilities and obligations associated with those rights. -Kurt On Mar 13, 2011 5:36 PM, "surfswab" <[email protected]> wrote: > >Kurt, Paul: > >The group in the video IS the Patriot Guard organization.
