Dear moderator,
Exposing X1Bueller because of an anonymous post regarding Harley Davidson oil is not necessary especially when he is obviously being sarcastic.
I understood BWB's rules on exposing anonymous as a means for reducing personal attacks on individuals.
I have nothing to "get off my chest" and I have nothing against anyone who posts here. I just think my response is meant to note to the monitor the sarcasm intended by the anonymous poster.
I believe that X1 and myself are both persons who have been and will continue to be positive influences on this board and on the bike. |

Why does everyone on this board think that any comment is a personal attack on another person. Way too much sensativity at this site.
Can't we all just get along, at least get thicker skin. |

No, lets save that for www.sacborg.com
Besides then we'd have to let the rest of those Beemer riders invade BWB and it took Blake years to get rid of them. |

If I can just add my two cents here:
(maybe it's just my personality to want everyone to get along, or maybe I've been a mom for too long) Anyway- in response to the anonymous post, I think we're for the most part all adults here, and this isn't a middle school chat sight,so my feeling is that there is a certain level of responsibility as to what is considered "appropriate" comments and that is where a moderator should step in. I know this is America and we like to exercise our freedom of speech,but the snyde or slamming remarks should be saved for "chatting" between friends, and not posted for all to read. That is my editorial for today! Have a great weekend!!! |

Thank You Chi Beammer for sticking up for me even though I haven't logged onto this board in a couple of days. I was actually checking out [today] to see if anyone was riding tommorow, such as the highland house or a support rally.
About my sarcastic remark, I offer no appologies, I meant what I said. It is my firm belief that Harley Davidson, as well as many other manufactorers such a Ford, Toyota, and even BMW, placard their names and logos on inferrior or standard grade products that they OEM from others and seriously markup the price to imply that it is "Better" because the said manufactorers name is on it. Much is the same in my industry (Technology) when you consumers purchase your Dell brand computer, the "Dell Guy" tells you to buy the Dell brand memory and Dell brand CD burner because its Dell, when the truth is you can buy the EXACT memory board or CD Burner from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufactorer) for much less.
To the moderator, Where were you when Annon Bussa was flaming all over our board? Was it you? Although I really don't care that you "Exposed" me, I don't think I was insulting anyone, save for a very popular, successful, and wealthy manufactoer that will carry on no matter what my thoughts and statements are. Lighten Up. It's not like I said FUCK.
To Ray - The FORMER President and "Harley Guy." I think your just still bent up over the letter I published in "breaking wind." I exercised my right to speak, and when you rebuttled, I excersized my right NOT to speak. You exercised yours. Good for you!
To Bomber, A Veteran - Thank you for your brave service to our country. I appreciate that you risked your life for me to have the freedoms that so many people don't appreciate. The fact that I can get up tommorow moring and spin the two wheels on my iron horse while our country is at war says very much.
To Chi Beamer, a Veteran - We never talked much about your service, but your about my age and there so there is a good chance that you participated in Gulf War I. If you were a peace time soldier,I also offer thanks.
To all other Verterans - I want to offer my thanks and gratitude for all of your, weather war time or peace time, for offering your service to protect my life, liberty, and persuit of happiness. Although I am a full time civilian, I will always stand behind you guys.
No let's get down to bussiness, who's Riding?

Right On, Bill. Get up on that soapbox. I thought your remark was quite amusing and didn't see any harm in it.
I have been watching the war as I believe most of us have. And I can't believe these war protesters, why don't we call them "Anti-patriots" instead of protesters. President Bush said after 9-11 that "you are either with us or against us" I would say that these anti-patriots are against us. I believe most of these people would never volunteer to defend our country. I'm all for protesting before a war, but once the war starts we need to stand as one. |

X1bueller,
There are no acceptable reasons to use the anony function other than a VALID need to hide your identity. Please abide by that simple rule. It is stated right next to the anony function's checkbox. Doesn't matter what you post or how, if you use the anony function it needs to be for a seriously valid reason. Too many people started to abuse it, so from now on the rule is black and white, no exceptions (at least as long as "moderator" sees the post). 
Thanks. |

patriotism, love of America, isnt that why we all so ardently pour our hard earned US dollars into these overpriced mediocre US motorcycles? Don't misunderstand me, I love my bike, but like Brent,I too have entered the exclusive ranks of Buell owners who have "dumped" way more money into a product that has pitiful factory/dealer support than they're ever gonna be worth. Like X1, I too don't appreciate being bent over for
maintainence items.$15 for a freakin' oil filter?When is HD gonna slide a little gratuity down the hill to the people who aided their recovery? Or are they so huge the line at the door never stops?Peace,all. |

A long read but worth it, IMHO. Sam
Who's Smarter?
The Hollywood group is at it again. Holding anti-war rallies, screaming
about the Bush Administration, running ads in major newspapers, defaming
the President and his Cabinet every chance they get, to anyone and
everyone who will listen. They publicly defile them and call them names
like "stupid" , "morons", and "idiots". Jessica Lange went so far as to
tell a crowd in Spain that she hates President Bush and is embarrassed to
be an American.
So, just how ignorant are these people who are running the country? Let's
look at the biographies of these "stupid", "ignorant" , "moronic"
leaders, and then at the celebrities who are castigating them: President
George W. Bush: Received a Bachelors Degree from Yale University and an
MBA from Harvard Business School. He served as an F-102 pilot for the
Texas Air National Guard. He began his career in the oil and gas business
in Midland in 1975 and worked in the energy industry until 1986. He was
elected Governor on November 8, 1994, with 53.5 percent of the vote. In a
historic re-election victory, he became the first Texas Governor to be
elected to consecutive four-year terms on November 3, 1998 winning 68.6
percent of the vote. In 1998 Governor Bush won 49 percent of the Hispanic
vote, 27 percent of the African-American vote, 27 percent of Democrats
and 65 percent of women. He won more Texas counties, 240 of 254, than any
modern Republican other than Richard Nixon in 1972 and is the first
Republican gubernatorial candidate to win the heavily Hispanic and
Democratic border counties of El Paso, Cameron and Hidalgo. (Someone
began circulating a false story about his I.Q. being lower than any other
President. If you believed it, you might want to go to URBANLEGENDS.COM
and see the truth.
Vice President Dick Cheney: Earned a B.A. in 1965 and a M.A. in 1966,
both in political science. Two years later, he won an American Political
Science Association congressional fellowship. One of Vice President
Cheney's primary duties is to share with individuals, members of Congress
and foreign leaders, President Bush's vision to strengthen our economy,
secure our homeland and win the War on Terrorism. In his official role as
President of the Senate, Vice President Cheney regularly goes to Capital
Hill to meet with Senators and members of the House of Representatives to
work on the Administration's legislative goals. In his travels as Vice
President, he has seen first hand the great demands the war on terrorism
is placing on the men and women of our military, and he is proud of the
tremendous job they are doing for the United States of America.
Secretary of State Colin Powell: Educated in the New York City public
schools, graduating from the City College of New York (CCNY), where he
earned a Bachelor's Degree in geology. He also participated in ROTC at
CCNY and received a commission as an Army second lieutenant upon
graduation in June 1958. His further academic achievements include a
Master of Business Administration Degree from George Washington
University. Secretary Powell is the recipient of numerous U.S. and
foreign military awards and decorations. Secretary Powell's civilian
awards include two Presidential Medals of Freedom, the President's
Citizens Medal, the Congressional Gold Medal, the Secretary of State
Distinguished Service Medal, and the Secretary of Energy Distinguished
Service Medal. Several schools and other institutions have been named in
his honor and he holds honorary degrees from universities and colleges
across the country. (Note: He retired as Four Star General in the United
States Army)
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld: Attended Princeton University on
Scholarship (AB, 1954) and served in the U.S. Navy (1954-57) as a Naval
aviator; Congressional Assistant to Rep. Robert Griffin (R-MI), 1957-59;
U.S. Representative, Illinois, 1962-69; Assistant to the President,
Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, Director of the Cost of
Living Council, 1969-74; U.S. Ambassador to NATO, 1973-74; head of
Presidential Transition Team, 1974; Assistant to the President, Director
of White House Office of Operations, White House Chief of Staff, 1974-77;
Secretary of Defense, 1975-77.
Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge: Raised in a working class
family in veterans' public housing in Erie. He earned a scholarship to
Harvard, graduating with honors in 1967. After his first year at The
Dickinson School of Law, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he
served as an infantry staff sergeant in Vietnam, earning the Bronze Star
for Valor. After returning to Pennsylvania, he earned his Law Degree and
was in private practice before becoming Assistant District Attorney in
Erie County. He was elected to Congress in 1982. He was the first
enlisted Vietnam combat veteran elected to the U.S. House, and was
overwhelmingly re-elected six times.
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice: Earned her Bachelor's Degree
in Political Science, Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University
of Denver in 1974; her Master's from the University of Notre Dame in
1975; and her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at
the University of Denver in 1981. (Note: Rice enrolled at the University
of Denver at the age of 15, graduating at 19 with a Bachelor's Degree in
Political Science (Cum Laude). She earned a Master's Degree at the
University of Notre Dame and a Doctorate from the University of Denver's
Graduate School of International Studies. Both of her advanced degrees
are also in Political Science.) She is a Fellow of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded Honorary Doctorates from
Morehouse College in 1991, the University of Alabama in 1994, and the
University of Notre Dame in 1995. At Stanford, she has been a member of
the Center for International Security and Arms Control, a Senior Fellow
of the Institute for International Studies, and a Fellow (by courtesy) of
the Hoover Institution. Her books include Germany Unified and Europe
Transformed (1995) with Philip Zelikow, The Gorbachev Era (1986) with
Alexander Dallin, and Uncertain Allegiance: The Soviet Union and the
Czechoslovak Army (1984). She also has written numerous articles on
Soviet and East European foreign and defense policy, and has addressed
audiences in settings ranging from the U.S. Ambassador's Residence in
Moscow to the Commonwealth Club to the 1992 and 2000 Republican National
Conventions. From 1989 through March 1991, the period of German
reunification and the final days of the Soviet Union, she served in the
Bush Administration as Director, and then Senior Director, of Soviet and
East European Affairs in the National Security Council, and a Special
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. In 1986, while
an international affairs fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, she
served as Special Assistant to the Director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In 1997, she served on the Federal Advisory Committee on Gender --
Integrated Training in the Military. She was a member of the boards of
directors for the Chevron Corporation, the Charles Schwab Corporation,
the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the University of Notre Dame,
the International Advisory Council of J.P. Morgan and the San Francisco
Symphony Board of Governors. She was a Founding Board member of the
Center for a New Generation, an educational support fund for schools in
East Palo Alto and East Menlo Park, California and was Vice President of
the Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula. In addition, her past board
service has encompassed such organizations as Transamerica Corporation,
Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Corporation, Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, The Rand Corporation, the National Council for
Soviet and East European Studies, the -Peninsula Urban Coalition and
KQED, public broadcasting for San Francisco. Born November 14, 1954 in
Birmingham, Al abama, she resides in Washington, D.C.
So who are these celebrities? What is their education? What is their
experience in affairs of State or in National Security? While I will
defend to the death their right to express their opinions, I think that
if they are going to call into question the intelligence of our leaders,
we should also have all the facts on their educations and background:
Barbra Streisand : Completed high school Career: Singing and acting
Cher: Dropped out of school in 9th grade. Career: Singing and acting
Martin Sheen: Flunked exam to enter University of Dayton. Career: Acting
Jessica Lange: Dropped out college mid-freshman year. Career: Acting
Alec Baldwin: Dropped out of George Washington U. after scandal. Career:
Acting
Julia Roberts: Completed high school. Career: Acting
Sean Penn: Completed High school. Career: Acting
Susan Sarandon: Degree in Drama from Catholic University of America in
Washington, D.C. Career: Acting
Ed Asner; Completed High school. Career: Acting
George Clooney: Dropped out of University of Kentucky. Career: Acting
Michael Moore: Dropped out first year University of Michigan. Career:
Movie Director
Sarah Jessica Parker: Completed High School. Career: Acting
Jennifer Anniston: Completed High School. Career: Acting
Mike Farrell: Completed High school. Career: Acting
Janeane Garofelo: Dropped out of College. Career: Stand up comedienne
Larry Hagman: Attended Bard College for one year. Career: Acting
While comparing the education and experience of these two groups, we
should also remember that President Bush and his cabinet are briefed
daily, even hourly, on the War on Terror and threats to our security.
They are privy to information gathered around the world concerning the
Middle East, the threats to America, the intentions of terrorists and
terrorist-supporting governments. They are in constant communication with
the CIA, the FBI, Interpol, NATO, The United Nations, our own military,
and that of our allies around the world. We cannot simply believe that we
have full knowledge of the threats because we watch CNN!! We cannot
believe that we are in any way as informed as our leaders.
These celebrities have no intelligence-gathering agents, no fact-finding
groups, no insight into the minds of those who would destroy our country.
They only have a deep seated hatred for all things Republican. By nature,
and no one knows quite why, the Hollywood elitists detest Conservative
views and anything that supports or uplifts the United States of America.
The silence was deafening from the Left when Bill Clinton bombed a
pharmaceutical factory outside of Khartoum, or when he attacked the
Bosnian Serbs in 1995 and 1999. He bombed Serbia itself to get Slobodan
Milosevic out of Kosovo, and not a single peace rally was held. When our
Rangers were ambushed in Somalia and 18 young American lives were lost,
not a peep was heard from Hollywood. Yet now, after our nation has been
attacked on its own soil, after 3,000 Americans were killed, by
freedom-hating terrorists, while going about their routine lives, they
want to hold rallies against the war. Why the change? Because an honest,
God-fearing Republican sits in the White House.
Another irony is that in 1987, when Ronald Reagan was in office, the
Hollywood group aligned themselves with disarmament groups like SANE,
FREEZE and PEACE ACTION, urging our own government to disarm and freeze
the manufacturing of any further nuclear weapons, in order to promote
world peace. It is curious that now, even after we have heard all the
evidence that Saddam Hussein has chemical, biological and is very close
to obtaining nuclear weapons, their is no cry from this group for HIM to
disarm. They believe we should leave him alone in his quest for these
weapons of mass destruction, even though it is certain that these deadly
weapons will eventually be used against us in our own cities.
So why the hype out of Hollywood? Could these celebrities believe that
since they draw such astronomical salaries, they are entitled to also
determine the course of our Nation? That they can make viable decisions
concerning war and peace? Did Michael Moore have the backing of the
Nation when he recently thanked France, on our behalf, for being a "good
enough friend to tell us we were wrong"? I know for certain he was not
speaking for me. Does Sean Penn fancy himself a Diplomat, in going to
Iraq when we are just weeks away from war? Does he believe that his High
School Diploma gives him the knowledge (and the right) to go to a country
that is controlled by a maniacal dictator, and speak on behalf of the
American people? Or is it the fact that he pulls in more money per year
than the average American worker will see in a lifetime? Does his bank
account give him clout?
The ultimate irony is that many of these celebrities have made a shambles
of their own lives, with drug abuse, alcoholism, numerous marriages and
divorces, scrapes with the law, publicized temper tantrums, etc. How dare
they pretend to know what is best for an entire nation! What is even more
bizarre is how many people in this country will listen and accept their
views, simply because they liked them in a certain movie, or have fond
memories of an old television sitcom!
It is time for us, as citizens of the United States, to educate ourselves
about the world around us. If future generations are going to enjoy the
freedoms that our forefathers bequeathed us, if they are ever to know
peace in their own country and their world, to live without fear of
terrorism striking in their own cities, we must assure that this nation
remains strong. We must make certain that those who would destroy us are
made aware of the severe consequences that will befall them.
Yes, it is a wonderful dream to sit down with dictators and terrorists
and join hands, singing Cumbaya and talking of world peace. But it is not
real. We did not stop Adolph Hitler from taking over the entire continent
of Europe by simply talking to him. We sent our best and brightest, with
the strength and determination that this Country is known for, and
defeated the Nazi regime. President John F. Kennedy did not stop the
Soviet ships from unloading their nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962 with
mere words. He stopped them with action, and threat of immediate war if
the ships did not turn around. We did not end the Cold War with
conferences. It ended with the strong belief of President Ronald
Reagan... PEACE through STRENGTH. |
