Yeah , i have to agree.. While i hate to stereo type, i don't like most harley guys i meet. Crazy guys like this it's best just to smile and listen to what they have to say and put lots of road between you and them...

But the nice Harley guys are fun to F with and can actually take a joke. I had a teacher once for a three hour a night leachture hall on ethical management. If we wanted to get him off topice for an hour, we only had to pretend to answer a question but tell him his Harley sucked instead. Made the class much more enjoyable.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....

I was 3/75th Rangers stationed at Ft.Benning, Ga and Special Forces is for people that dont care about anyone or anything. Thats why they send them to Italy and not state side. They have no families except for their platoon and when they die no one knows. They are asses and I dont care for them. I was invited to Special Forces the day I turned 21 by my First Seargent and turned them down because of their activities. Part of me wanted to join the group but I loved to come home and hang out with friends and family when I could.

Rangers, eh? Did you get your jump training?

I was 1st batallian Royal Green Jackets, best light infantry unit in the British mob. I came out after just under 4 as a corporal, and joined the 5th RGJ Batallion TA (like your National Guard, I guess) to keep me ticking over while I worked part time. Finished my bachelors and got a commission, and finally left in '99 as a Captain.

I'm still on offical 10 year retainer and got called up to serve in Afghanistan earlier this year, but unfortunately i'm now in one of the few remaining 'reserved' occupations and the Chief Constable refused to release me. Killjoy.

A few of my mates over years applied for selection to various special forces units (i'm sure you can guess the main one), and a couple were successful. They're intelligent, tough lads, but when push comes to shove a solid smack in the nuts'll drop them the same as anyone else - they put their trousers on one leg at a time, just like we do. Might be a different story if we're talking urban warefare, counter insurgency, or extended jungle deployments, but in a brawl the person with the best combination of body mass and aggressiveness usually wins, and a real pro would be too busy punching your lights out (Speed, Agression, Surprise is the acronym for military fisticuffs training) to waste time warning our hero of what he can do. This makes me strongly belive he's just some hick bullsh***r.

Airborne School, air assault, RIP(Ranger Indocturnation Program) Was on my way to Ranger School when I broke my leg during a jump. Served in the Invasion of Panama to capture Noriega's drug lord behind. Loved it but enjoyed the civilian life better. Now, I wish I had stayed in because I would e retired.
Went through Airborne School with seals, special forces, air force junkies.
We will have to talk more on chat or something. Off to work.

I agree.. I bust the balls of a guy i work with over his harley leaking oil, breaking down and being really slow... SO now he busts my balls about buying a Harley.. I think i am now a harley guy that doesn't mind his balls being busted.. (as long as i have a sportbike) :shocker

Ain't it funny how the asshats with braggadocio ALWAYS say they are "ex-special forces". Sounds like a run of the mill bully to me. I'd have called him on it, then too I ain't much afraid of anything or anyone on two legs or four. I once took on an inmate who was a documented 5th degree black belt in Isshyn-Ryu Karate. All the other corrections officers were afraid of him. I took him out with a ridgehand to the throat when he attacked me. He dropped like a stone trying to get air. Bullies are the same no matter were you go. They ain't used to anyone standing their ground and fighting back.
