    No politiks, Motor-Officer!

    You would only be 'preaching to the choir'.

    Which would be religion: another taboo.

        The People's Republic of Illinois isn't doing me any good right now, Tom!

        (After paying unemployment insurance for years and years, the offices are shuttered, and the website broken,.. for weeks now.)

        Back to vintage motorcycles, my stash is available at bargain prices. Just walk in my door, but don't shake my hand...

          There are a million places (if not more) on the internet to discuss politics, religion, and general mayhem. As Tom said, let's keep our forum free of that stuff.

            Define "free", Eric.

              Free is what my Chief is today, it’s been on quarantine since last November when I put it away for the season, but today at 45 degrees and sunny it’s going for a ride...now that’s free!

                Are the roads 'free' of salt, Harry?

                'De-icer' still stains the bridges hereabouts' Illinois.. (Eating the structures as well, of course.)

                PS: Doh! I didn't mean to get political by bringing up infrastructure. But motorcycles do need roads and stuff.

                Or maybe just a nice rotating pedestal by the fireplace.

                With a wall graphic behind it.

                I can supply the easy pieces, Folks!

                  It’s gone (even though it snowed yesterday...they had put away the spreaders....thank you very much!)

                  Hi-jacking here....Chief wouldn’t start. Battery showing 8volts even though it had been on the charger. Back on the charger, still no fire. Checked for spark ...nuthin’ there. Pulled the distributor cap, brand new rotor split in half! Put the old rotor back in, fired on no throttle, no choke but didn’t run (flooded). Kicked and kicked...nuthin’. Back to the battery....down to 8 volts. Back on the charger, fired up and rode it for 4 miles and put it away. Gonna need a new battery!

                    Isnt that why we have different foums?I am more interested in how members are affected by our current situation which has a degree of politics.
                    I dont go anywhere else to post ,and have more interest in this community than say facebook members.I dont see much politics here and thats fine,but I dont get the not here position.
                    And if the post title gives an indication of a topic you dont want to read or reply,just dont open it.Not like this site is struggling with to much traffic.
                    Now the no info title is another story."hey you gotta see this"
                    If parking lot chatter is not the place maybe a new forum like hows the lockdown affecting you?
                    Have fun

                          Religion is a tough subject for me.I am Agnostic.
                          And I was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and insomnia.
                          I stay up all night wondering if there really is a Dog.

                              I just don't know about agnosticism, Tom!

                              (Insert drummers' ba-dump, tshsss...)

                              And my spiritualism is bottled up.

                              I thought I knew Dog, but I question our existence, as suddenly I'm invisible when 'pack leader' shows up.
