What does this mean ?

Posted by admin On February - 3 - 2012

I saw an episode of Happy Days where Fonzie got arrested for riding his motorcycle without a license. He said he lost it in the bushes. The cop asked what he was doing in the bushes. He said "I’m on vacation."

was he implying something

not really he was being a smart behind to the cop.he was more or less trying to evade having to tell the cop the real reason he was behind the bush, the reason could be any number of reasons.

Seriously, is this freedom?

Posted by admin On January - 30 - 2012

The same people who say I shouldn’t impose my morality on them, are imposing immorality on me and my children to the point that I literally have a hard time even leaving my home anymore to do something as simple as visit the park. And this is freedom?

I am a Catholic stay-at-home mother of seven, and I live in the state of Massachusetts where "gay marriage" has been legal for seven years and it’s just one aspect of the larger secular agenda. Because we have so many little children, it takes a phenomenal effort to go anywhere. We have only filled our truck with gasoline twice this entire summer vacation. We go to Mass and we go two miles up the road to a small outdoor swimming pool. That’s pretty much it.

At the pool this summer there were homosexual couples with children and, while I was polite as my own young daughters doted on the baby with two "mommies", I also held my breath in anticipation of awkward questions – questions I’m not ready to answer. My young daughters are all under the age of eight and they are not old enough to understand why a baby would have two women calling themselves "mommies".

When there were two men relaxing at the side of the pool unnaturally close to each other, effeminately rubbing elbows and exchanging doe-eyes, I was again anxiously watching my children hoping they wouldn’t ask questions. They don’t see Daddy do that with anyone but Mommy. We haven’t been back to the pool for a couple of weeks, except once but it rained. The truth is, now I don’t really want to go back.

So what am I harping about?

Today we decided to go to the park. We live near a nice park that is safe, clean and quiet. Two of my daughters were in the sandbox, one on the slide, the other on the swings, and as I lifted the baby out of his stroller I looked up to see four women laughing at a baby boy as he was swinging in one of those bucket baby swings. That seems harmless enough, but I’m so sensitized to the strangeness in my community that I’ve developed this ever-present jumpiness whenever I’m in public. Sure enough, two of the women, so happy to see a baby boy laughing, embraced and remained standing there rubbing each other’s back in a way that was clearly not just friendly affection.

This is my community. I find myself unable to even leave the house anymore without worrying about what in tarnation we are going to encounter. We are responsible citizens. We live by the rules, we pay our taxes, we take care of our things. I’m supposed to be able to influence what goes on in my community, and as a voter I do exercise that right. But I’m outnumbered. I can’t even go to normal places without having to sit silently and tolerate immorality. We all know what would happen if I asked two men or two women to stop displaying, right in front of me and my children, that they live in sodomy.

So now I go on a rant.

Our taxes are being used to fund contraception, abortion and IVF already. That offends me in ways that are inexpressible. I read last December in the Wall Street Journal how two men near us are raising two assembled daughters after announcing to the world how they killed two other siblings in surrogate mothers in India. Let me guess? I shouldn’t offend them though, right? And what’s next at the park? A needle exchange drop-box for heroin users? No joke. These things are not isolated, it is all the same issue at a fundamental level. We’re being pushed to accept immorality and it’s not just on TV and in Washington D.C. It’s right in front of us too.

We fund a lot of illegal immigrants here (just ask the President about his auntie) and helping people who really need help is not something I’d ever oppose. But it’s still haunting me that just this week I learned of an illegal immigrant who killed a young man innocently out for a ride on his motorcycle. The illegal immigrant, who didn’t have a license, was so drunk he didn’t notice when he hit a motorcyclist and then dragged the 23 year old college graduate a quarter of a mile while people were yelling at him to stop. When he finally did stop, the young man was still alive until the drunk driver put the car in reverse and backed up over him before driving away. He’s charged with vehicular homicide and "reckless conduct creating a risk to a child." He had a six year old in the car with him.

Do you think knowing this happened about seven miles from my home makes me afraid to leave the house? You bet it does. But that just adds to everything else I’m being asked to tolerate. Seriously, is this freedom?
9 minutes ago – 4 days left to answer.

I think you need to understand that the world is changing, and you disagreeing with how it is a sign that its going in the right direction. You can sit back and think that were going to hell in a hand basket all you like but just remember that their was a time that they believed that women such as yourself were not equal and could not express views like this aloud and image if those same people that believed that lived today they would be just as agree if not more then what you are feeling today so if Conservative views are not dying out in some way, then we are not moving forward as a society

So I have my learners permit and am planning on getting a motorcycle whenever possible; and since I just moved to Washington state I’m wondering if I have to go to some motorcycle version of drivers ed, how old I have to be to get a motorcycles license and if I have to wait a certain amount of time after I get my drivers license? Thank you for reading! It’s appreciated!

ask 1 of the local bike dealers they shud know bro.

steps required to purchase a motorcycle?

Posted by admin On January - 18 - 2012

im in the army currently stationed in Arizona, and it sucks getting around town without any reliable transportation. i never had a vehicle before, never could afford it.i have about 3500 saved up now and i have my eyes on this 3200 priced bike but its used and its owner is selling it. i dont have a drivers license either, i plan getting that next month on vacation so i can at least get my permit and then get get my license a few weeks after so by then i should have a least 5000 saved up. i want to know what steps i have to take to actually ride this bike legally? do i need a drivers license plus a bike license too? my base offer bike courses for free here so i will learn how to ride soo. thanks in advance

You can buy a motorcycle anytime. You cannot ride legally without a driver’s license with a motorcycle endorsement. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/DriverLicense/ApplyforLicense.htm
Looks like if you can pass the test you can have your license the same day you apply.

Texas is a cool State! You can get your get your motorcycle endorsement by mail! http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/DriverLicense/motorcycleLicense.htm Once you have your license, take the bike course and send the certificate and they will send you a new license with your motorcycle endorsement.

Apart form the fact that motorcycle clubs have MC on their vest and riding clubs have RC on their vest they are both the same thing so why do motorcycle clubs want to fight you if you have MC on your back

Nothing, really. A riding club may have been called that originally do distinguish itself from clubs that seem to just get together for breakfast or lunch, but never really go riding.

Anymore, I’ll join a club for a few months to identify new riding partners, then go riding separately from them and quit the club. I don’t need the drama that clubs have and I hate group riding.

How can I get same sex "marrige" banned nationally?

Marriage was created in the heart of god, and he designed it perfectly for one man and one woman

Move.

He’s really really nice,(we met this summer on vacation in Northern California) and he was SOOO sweet and nice,he listened to me and he wasn’t skeevy or creepy,and we talked about how it’s gross if an 18 yr old dude and 14 yr old have sex and we agreed on Alot of topics and spent Alot of time alone on the beach together and we talk through text like evvvveeerry day,so do you think it’s wrong?
I live in NC and he said he’d come visit me sometime and teach me how to ride a motorcycle!I’m so excited haha,he also hugged me really tight when he left,& he’s really hot lololololololol but he has a gf,but he told me when we met that he didn’t,but then on Facebook when he added me I saw all over his wall she wrote like,"I love you baby:)" and it said they were in a relationship
Do you think this is wrong,& do you think he didn’t tell me he was in a relationship for a reason??
THANKS!!!:)

Its fine if your FRIENDS but nothing more, But to me (18 year old girl) its kind of weird that an 18 year old male would even want to be friends with a 14 year old girl. Its kind of creepy, because most 18 year old guys are only interested in girls they can have sex with, and he may just be sucking up to you to get in your pants. Think critically about situations like this ALWAYS, What 18 year old guy would want to be friends with a 14 year old girl, none that I know. And as for the girlfriend, if the subject of a girlfriend/boyfriend came up and he said he didn’t have one then it was most likely a charade in hopes of getting in your pants, but if that subject didn’t come up he probably just didn’t see a reason to bring it up.
I personally see something like this as wrong. again what 18 year old wants to be friends with a 14 year old? It seems extremely strange to me, I personally wouldn’t trust it. In a parental view this would be incredibly wrong, and as for a relationship with him if it happened and you two had sex he could go to jail for rape, because even if you say yes by law he raped you.
I’m not trying to be a b*tch i’m being honest.

How should a motorcycle license plate be displayed in Illinois?

Posted by admin On November - 14 - 2011

I am wondering if it can be displayed vertical, on the side of the motorcycle, etc.

It can be vertical but must be lit at night.

Im moving to Oklahoma next year. A relative and a friend of mine have been tossing around the idea of starting a small motorcycle club together. We figured we would aply for an AMA (american motorcycle association) charter ,. The question is we cant figure out if we still need to ask permission from the big 1% club out there for permission first or will just being an AMA club work out for us with no complications?

While you don’t have to ask for permission, you still have to follow the rules. Get in contact with your local Confederation of Clubs, to find out the rules. Most of the rules deal with things like copy right infringement. Making sure that your club name and patch, doesn’t resemble another club.

Example; Black and white, are Outlaw colors. So make sure your patch does not, just have Black and white in it. As long as your patch doesn’t in any way, resemble theirs,your okay. Also don’t put a territory rocker on, or anything that looks like a 1% patch.

The 1% clubs don’t care about you or your club, as long as you can’t be mistaken for one of them, or compete with them.

I have dirt bike experience, but I have to be legal to test drive the street bike I’m thinking about getting. How do I get a motorcycle endorsement on my license if I don’t have a motorcycle to take the test on?

You take a course. Seems like most places charge $125.
