Anyone else see this all the time on Facebook?  If you're part of a group(s), you probably see it often! I don't know what it is, but some folks just do NOT understand the basics of privacy settings within Facebook.  I've posted  hints, posted pics, walked folks through it via PMs, via Phone Calls, and after the 3rd.. or 4th .. or...  well, they usually get the point.  Then the following day, they do it again. If I'm on my desktop, I'll post this: "The source you shared , whether it be a picture or a status , or ??  .. had permissions tied to it and wasn't publicly shared.  This is common when sharing from another group that we don't all belong to , or from a friend's page that isn't a mutual friend, and they aren't sharing it publicly. The simplest thing to do is if it yours, change the permissions to PUBLIC.  Or,  save the pic to your computer/smart phone,  and upload here for all to see, or to copy past the status or URL

This bike has awakened all my senses and taken my life to a different level.  Every year that goes by, I get more caught up in it all; more miles, more trips, more bike related good times...... but.. before I bought an Indian, I took the rice burnin' path to this final destination.  Thirty one years ago I got my first bike. In the early days,  I'd done a couple of extended multi-State Rides ( Sturgis, etc ) , and a lot of quick rides out enjoying the wind, way too much bar-hopping,  but just never embraced the lifestyle so to speak. I've always loved my toys ( "He whom dies with the most toys wins!" was/is my mantra) , but riding bikes back then was just part of havin

I posted a question asking why they deleted the previous thread.. and .. they deleted my post.. again! So, I did a quick rant.  After hitting 'post', my previous post pops up .. magically.. so I quickly deleted the below... but.. apparently not quick enough.... banned!  lol

Yesterday I got sucked into a discussion and after this long answer ( below ) , I for some reason saved it off in a file.  Apparently, the heat was a lil' more than a few HD Lovers could stand, so they deleted the entire thread.   Wow.. Really?  Good news is I kept it ... so wtf, I'll share. The QUESTION is .. over the next 10 years, can Indian Motorcycle sales hurt Harley Sales.... The unequivocal answer is :YES . Indian isn't going to put HD out of business, and vice versus ( well, not this time around, but that's another story that most don't know/understand) . The HD hardcore are misguided by the love of their Iron in their garage. Many of the Indian hardcore rant for similar reasons. To get on a soapbox, what makes my opinion diff' from most others? I own stock in HOG and PII. I have HD , Indian and Victory bike(s) in my garage right now as I type this. Trust me when I say, most people just don't get it , with these arguments. Here's the landscap

I love Motorcycles.    I love Corvettes.  I love Jeeps ... and now.. the SS Flying in to Little Rock to pick up the Slingshot, I wondered if I was going to find myself going in a different direction, away from my addiction to my Vette. I mean, this obviously competes head on with Sports Cars… right?      When I first saw the Slingshot on the ‘net and later in person 2 months ago, I couldn’t shake that feeling that … it was too futuristic.   Looked ‘stumpy’ in the rear.   Might not be comfortable with the hard plastic looking seats. Well, I was wrong... on all accounts!  Have to admit, when I walked into the Gregory Polaris showroom and sat in my new SS for the first time, I was questioning my sanity.   I was about to finalize the deal on something I don’t’ need.   It serves no real purpose to me other than … pure fun.   Had I gone too far this time?    On the first ride, Rob and I took it out for a quick run up the road and back.   I’d find myself doing this almost
