Aero Video Stands Up For Patriotic Honda Riders

I found this video on Cruiser Magazine’s web site today and thought it was really cool.

It starts out being an expose on the 2009 Honda Shadow Aero. At the end, though, it gives a good shove to those out there who think only Harley riders are the only patriots for riding a “real, American-made bike” and takes up that age-old argument of what an “American-made” bike is any more.

I have a great many friends who are Harley owners. I like the bikes and I always give credit to Harley as being an American-made bike. But, as a Honda VTX 1300 R owner who is a Gulf War I veteran, and a patriot of this country (and un-apologetically so) it always brings a small amount of warmth to my heart to hear someone who will stand up and say that Harley and Victory don’t have a lock on America-loving riders. There are some of us out there who couldn’t afford a Harley – yet -- that love America just as much but who want to ride now, too. Maybe one day I will have an “American bike” like Harley and even Victory. I’d love to have one. But in the meantime, I ride my Honda in Rolling Thunder and with PGR with pride and have no plans to feel any different.
God Bless the USA!

Really Good Motorcycle Quote

Being an avid rider of motorcycles I am always looking for good quotes that helps explain why we do what we do. I saw this one on the VTX Cafe message board. It's pretty good.

"One Day...........Just One Day,On a Motorcycle,And You will live more than most people do,In their entire lifetime............................. "
-- Amos Moses,


This is my fourth year as a rider, and my third year as a part of a motorcycle club and I can tell you that is a true statement.

Iran Blocking UN From Closer Watch On It's Nuke Program

I guess someone forgot to tell the Iranians that the U.N. had them in ckeck:

Diplomats say Iran is blocking U.N. nuclear agency attempts to upgrade monitoring of its atomic activities and now has the means to test a weapon within six months.

The United Nations has never solved any problem, nor prevented any war. What good are they?
