Motorcyles and Scooters, Oh My!

This is how things get out of control. First @mad dog gets a bigger bike, then Putin backs out of the START Treaty, then @ChuckMK23 gets a faster bike! To quote Adm. Painter, “This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.”

And then Hells Angels MC allow former cops who ride Honda Monkeys [like me] to join their club because their membership numbers are down!!! ???

Good thing we had the technologies to put those crowns on our domes [in the first pic above] to mask our bad hair day caused by our helmets.

Nice work, candidate! How did you get that video to AW? I tried for like 3 hours…I couldn’t figure out [or find] any link [or code] to post it here. Also, I think my Honda Monkey looks pretty spiffy with the mud on the tires [from our previous mudex]…so I think I’ll leave the mud on the tires for about 1 year…maybe 2 years.

Stopped by the H-D dealership where we recently purchased mrs. mad dog’s 2014 Sportster Iron 883…man, that 2023 Sportster S 1250 was sort of looking good [see below]. The dealership tried to make me ride it…they rolled it outside and put a dealer plate on it…I said no joy once I discovered all the computer/electronic gizmo stuff going on in the cockpit. Nice boat load of freaking distractions. It even has cruise control. Really? I guess motorcycles are going the way of automobiles with all the computer/electronic gizmo stuff. Anyway, I’m sticking with my really slow [and really basic] 2021 Honda Monkey…

What's Vne on that Honda Ruckus? That just looks like a lot of fun, and good for commuting in my snowmobile suit.

…and for any of you Debbie Downers out there who want to give me crap for riding mrs. mad dog’s purple H-D Sportster Iron because it’s purple, I will remind you that Metallica’s Lars Ulrich plays a purple drum kit…

No purple.

Dang! mrs. mad dog [she is currently at motorcycle school] got her H.O.G. stuff already. I’m jealous…



Meanwhile, I’ve been eyeballing H-D police bikes…but it doesn’t look like I’d be eligible to get one [see red boxes below]…
