Howdy, Madtown Mob! Well, I dumped my Shovelhead today...
I dropped it into gear, and the clutch was locked up solid. I was barely rolling, but it broke the clutch lever and the gravel punched a hole in the outer primary. I'm just thankful that it didn't hurt the paint or do any major damage. I pulled the clutch apart and all the discs and steels were stuck together so tight I had to pry them apart with a screwdriver! I think the discs are so slick that pressure vacuum locked them all together. Why ME allatime??

Howdy, Madtown Mob! Well, it's a bit late for an old dog like me to be up an' about!
Had a fun ride in the hills and a good ol' overstuffed all-American hamburger with BACON for lunch, then on to Jim & Allie's for a fun evening of food, games, and great friends!! What a day! Thanks, everybody!

Howdy, Madtown Mob! Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I sure wish I could fly to Hawaii for my birthday... Maybe I'll run for President!
Last year (2011) Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day.
White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the
Democrat doesn't intend to hang around the White House quite so much in
2012.They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as
everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking had nothing to do with his
health care bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with
Obama's not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and
women.
And with only 288 days remaining in Obama's never ending presidential campaign, the incumbent's travel pace will not likely slacken. At an Air Force-estimated cost of $181,757 per flight HOUR (not to mention the additional travel costs of Marine One, Secret Service, logistics and local police overtime), that's a lot of frequent flier dollars going into Obama's carbon footprint.
$8 Million every time it lands & takes off.
We are privy to some of these numbers thanks to CBS' Mark Knoller, a bearded national treasure trove of presidential stats. According to Knoller's copious notes, during the last year, Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days. Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days. He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf.
Obama last year gave 491 speeches, remarks or statements. That's more talking than goes on in some entire families, at least from fatherly mouths. In fact, even including the 24 days of 2010 that we never saw Obama in public, his speaking works out to about one official utterance every 11 waking hours. Aides indicate the "Real Good Talker" believes we need more.
Related: Obama spends nearly half his presidency outside Washington , plans to travel more.

Obama has spent over $100 million taxpayer dollars flying around in Air Force One, and probably another $100 million on his entourage.
Obama is just another tin-pot dictator living lavishly at the expense of his subjects.
