FREEDOM FIGHTER ALERT–Many riders have no awareness of the amount of effort, time, cunning and hard work it takes to keep bikes free. There’s a group of riders all over the country who fight constantly to repeal helmet laws, manage EPA restrictions, and watch insurance companies to keep them from running us off the road completely. We’re very lucky to have these dedicated people working tirelessly for us night and day.
There’s a conference of these freedom seekers scheduled to be held in New Orleans in May.
For more information check the AIM site.
Freedom Fighters risk their lives and freedom to keep us on the road and I’ve been constantly in touch with one who was imprisoned for four years. Fred Harrell, a Nevada freedom fighter, was recently released. In a recent secret missive he reported the following, “I see you for 30 minutes in Laughlin then I’m called back to Las Vegas by my parole officer and the next thing I hear is that you’re all broken up in the hospital. Riding a motorcycle is as therapeutic as it always was. I’d like to spend more time riding, however, I’m still confined to the rules of my release, and this too shall pass.”
We’re currently bouncing through life as if there’s no end in site. Fred has experienced the end. Daily these people face legislation that would eliminate motorcycling forever. They need our support.
WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH SENIOR JOKES?– The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn’t speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate. After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right.
A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left. Soon she started
leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.
A nephew who arrived late came running up to Grandma and said, “Hi Grandma, you’re looking good! How are they treating you?”
Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew, “They won’t let me fart.”
TATTOO OF THE WEEK–

THIS DOES SAY IT ALL!!!–After hearing that the state of Florida changed its opinion andlet a Muslim woman have her picture on her drivers license withher face covered, I believe this is even more appropriate. Readon, please!
This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published ina Tampa Newspaper. He did quite a job; didn’t he?
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT–I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we areoffending some individual or their culture. Since the terroristattacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism bythe majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks hadbarely settled when the “politically correct” crowd begancomplaining about the possibility that our patriotism wasoffending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge againstanyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Ourpopulation is almost entirely comprised of descendants ofimmigrants. However, there are a few things that those who haverecently come to our country, and apparently some born here, needto understand. This idea of America being a multiculturalcommunity has served only to dilute our sovereignity and ournational identity.
As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our ownlanguage and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developedover centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions ofmen and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, notSpanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any otherlanguage. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society,learn the language!
“In God We Trust” is our national motto. Thisis not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this mottobecause Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded thisnation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate todisplay it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggestyou consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is partof our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don’t like UncleSam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of thisplanet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and wereally don’t care how you did things where you came from. This is OURCOUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives everycitizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you everyopportunity to do so. But, once you are done complaining, whining and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto or our way of life,I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other great Americanfreedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE. Please pass this along if you agree.
