I don't know who they are?

I think it is the former Mrs Bezos and the Former Mrs Gates

All they invested was time and now they're both billionaires

I'm all for sending him and all idiots alike to reside in a 1 mile deep vertical 1/4 mile wide ice shaft in the Arctic with a lid on top like a giant trash can.
Cause you know stupid tweets are worse than mean tweets.

I thought the left didn't like mean tweets...

Ahhhh, does it look like I'm on the left that's populated with woke liberal anti 2A idiots?
I could care less if they don't like mean tweets.
Stupid people who post stupid Tweets because....

What's so sad about that? The Harvey Diddleson brand is stale and inflexible, and electric motorcycles are actually pretty fun to ride; they're just darn expensive.

Do you think they will clip plastic cards to the spokes to sound cool?

Mock if you must, but the torque on those things can be amazing. It ain't everyone's cup of tea (hence not spoiling the HD brand), but performance, maintenance, etc. ... perfect commuter bike.


PS - Does HD still sell spoked wheels?



EDIT - Went to HD's website - predictably there's more apparel and doodads than bikes.... Starts at $29,799?!

Was not mocking and sorry if it offended you. It was meant as a joke.

I think the best Harley Davidson advertisement I ever saw said, "If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand."

I believe the same thing could be said about 1911's... and S&W revolvers.

It's all good. I got spokes on my new bike - I like the retro look.

It is sad to see the further wimpization of a great American brand...

When selling clothes became more important than the bikes something special was lost...

But not Glocks and Hi-Points. Some things are unexplainable.

What is wimpy about an electric vehicle or trying to make a product that there may be a demand for?

All they have to do is install a base driver and a sound track that is linked to the controls so it sounds like a Harley.

However allowing the operator to switch to stealth mode would be good for quick get aways.

However, unlike the main graduation ceremony, the Black Student Graduation Ceremony will also welcome “those who may not have credits to participate in [the mainstream] graduation,”

So... participation trophies? How does that benefit them?

Beaverton School District is “not affiliated with the event”

That's at least some relief.


I guess, in some ways it's akin to a baccalaureate ceremony, but based on skin color, not religion... still, SMH.

So the democrats having been defeated in their "whites only" practices have been cleverly rebranding as "blacks only". What's next, separate schools?
