Liberty never came from government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it. Woodrow Wilson, September 9th, 1912
"The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."
we were on a ride the other day and there were some fallen rocks on the road just smaller then my gas tank, on the inside of a blind corner, i saw them the second the lead bike corrected his line, we both pointed with our feet and i imagine the others behind us did as well. i feel that a good rider can multi-task enough to point out debris in the road. i point out debris in the road because those are my friends behind me, and i dont want them to get hurt, and i think we all know people who get lost in there own little words from time to time. and while my foot is the preferred choice for pointing out debris, i have used my hands every now and then when i needed to.

Perhaps not every pebble, like Bueller said, but I'm a "plus one" with Ken on this. Friends don't come cheap.
