- "Cheap horsepower" is is not. Yess, I run NOS on my XR1000 just for kicks
- and its the one way to boost when you need it without having it on all the
- time. Patriotism - yeah. I'm a native American. I don't sell out for the
- latest UJM crap. Its sad but many from my generation died for your right to
- choose. So I guess I'm out-of -touch. I prefer that to selling out.

- So what does that make them? Did you ever look at the economic situtation
- and wonder how it got there? By the way - a Harley is well over 90%
- AMERICAN. The PROFITS stay here.

-
- I only know about high power HARLEY motorcycles. Could give a shit about
- the rest of the UJM's.

- I won't go into length about your comments about 'colors' but I posted
- this so everyone on the net will be aware. Its serious shit! I don't care
- if you live in Mule Creek Junction, Wyoming - outlaws are everywhere and
- they take this serious. You can laugh it off if you want, justify your
- position, etc, etc but when you are confronted by an outlaw your opinion
- won't be worth much. If you take a look at the various patches there are
- MAJOR rules to be followed.
- I've seen a patch pulled and its not a nice sight. Minor things like the
- color and shape of the lettering could get you shot. Anyway do what you
- will but being forewarned is forearmed. Here in the L.A. Zoo, wearing a
- Kings (hockey) or Raiders clothing could get you killed in the wrong area.
- I know it sucks but ...
