If laws force me to vape unflavored propylene glycol, I will buy cigarettes again. Tobacco companies know this.

This isn't just about kids and stop using kids as your fucking moral shield for every limitation you put on adults.

I like to.

MOVE IT!

I am the asshole.

I refuse to install that goddamn app.

When I'm in Europe and people want to catch up, I'm the one forcing them to open their email. Or to actually dial the phone.

It'd take at least two. Maybe three... Unless maybe it was a sick ostrich. Oh wait...

NYT carrying water for lying billionaires. Again.

Nothing you can say will convince me this was not 100% at the behest of that egomaniacal monster at the top of the company.

Neighborhoods full of community became individuals in houses.

I'm about 12 years older than you and what you have written pretty much sums up my life on the outskirts of the South Shore of Montreal. All those Creeks are gone. The train tracks that used to support 20 kids playing everyday have been fenced off. The BMX track is now a golf course. And the forests are all reduced to a line of single trees dividing subdivisions.

But the quoted bit is the part that hurts my heart the most. I grew up in a community. When I had my kids I created a community for other kids and their families to feel part of.

We would do small cookouts, babysit for each other, play music together. Once in awhile someone would pop out a projector and bring it outside and we'd have a community movie night.

My kids' kids don't see this. They live in basically the same place but the community left and only the individuals remain behind.

As a motorcycle lover, and car appreciator - This is my wish as well. I don't enjoy having no choice but to drive myself. Give me trains!

But given the choice, a nice Sunday ride through the country is something I love. And if everyone was on the train the ride would be even nicer.

It always has been. At least in my experience.

I had the highest total grades and the highest average in my class by a pretty wide margin. I was absolutely confident that I would be valedictorian.

However, when the announcement of valedictorian came out it was given to somebody who had achieved significantly less.

When I asked my teacher why they explained that I didn't fit the image of a valedictorian...

Probably because my hair was blue and I wore a green suit to grad.

As I mentioned to all of my lgbt US friends... The Canadian border is largely undefended and if you decide to cross in the forest, somebody will probably pick you up and feed you.

We don't hate Americans. We hate fascists.

If you are fleeing fascism, you are unlikely to be a fascist, therefore you will be welcomed.

 

This bike has been built and rebuilt too many times to count. I got it as a box of rusty parts when I was 15 years old, and have been working on it since.

I put thousands of KM on this old girl, but these days she spends most of her time resting. Other than a kick once in a while to hear hear rumble.

Right now I'm in the process of bobbing it with a bolt on kit. It will probably always come back to stock, but I have wanted to see it bobbed for 20+ years and didn't want to cut the frame.

 

This is the 2017 bobber I had when we lived in Switzerland. And my wife's 50th anniversary Vespa.

When we bought these nobody told me I couldn't bring them home to Canada. So when we came home we had to sell them both. I miss that bike every day. But recently got a new-to-me 2018 that I will mod until it looks just like that one.

 

Just a simple shot of my 2003 chief vintage. This is the wifemobile. When solo I ride the 2018 triumph bobber from my previous post to this community.

 

There is a little goat trail by the lake we live near. And I knew nobody was around so I got a little naughty and went touring around. Of course, I had to hop off and take some pictures.

 

But how could I resist? I took the bobber out for a little off-roading down a goat trail that runs by the swamp/lake near our place, and the scenery was so fitting that I hopped off and snapped some pics.

 

[JUST VENTING - Nobody is actually going to find this or get hurt for having it...]

I hope it was worth your time. That backpack is worthless to you, but it was a collectable to me. And it is very recognizable.

It is a triumph motorcycles backpack that only came with one year of bikes. It was never sold to the public, and is no longer available. But it is still worthless for resale.

All that was in it was a bottle of pepsi and some random USB cables. But you did wreck my day, and my wife's. Since that was the bag that would have allowed me to get some groceries on the way home.

I have given 40 bucks each to a bunch of the folks at the mission with the promise of adding another 100 bucks to the person who finds it. 200 if they have proof they made you bleed.

If you would rather not get jumped by a pile of angry unhoused folks you should bring it back where you found it.

Piece of shit.

[Edit to add: Come on folks. This is obviously a venting post, and nobody is going to bleed over this backpack that has almost certainly already been tossed in a garbage can somewhere.]

 

Enjoy! Post! Comment!

The name might get this post removed. Which would be sad. But I guess it would also be pretty punk...

Mine is easy. But I won't share in case it comes off as spam since she is my wife :p

Post your pics, mechanical questions, road stories, and anything else motorcycle related. The usual rules apply - Don't be a jerk, don't start fights, and don't share porn. If the community wants more biker pin-up stuff we can make a sister-community for that.
