gotta have someone to blame i guess

perhaps there is a crime wave because too many people are stuffed into a place they have outgrown because they can't stop f'ing breeding!!! this pisses me off so much i should stop talking about it but, china can kiss my a$$ for this one.

If you outlaw motorcycles, then only the outlaws will have motorcycles.

Motorcycles don't rob people. People do.

A motorcycle is just a vehicle, Maron; no better or no worse than any other vehicle: an bus, a truck or anything. A motorcycle is as good or as bad as the man riding it. Remember that.

By the picture, it seems that bikes are OK if they have one wheel, handlebars and a headlight.

The solution to crime is quite simple and to be honest, I am suprised that I am the only one who has thought of it. Cut everyones arms off and one leg. Then put them all into a big pile. I will admit, this will not end all crime, just the crimes that require hands and arms and a leg, but you gotta admit, this will make a big dent in crime.

So much for a Workers Paradise. I think I will stay in the gun crazed US. It seems safer, and I can ride my bike.

I hear that are thinking of starting a "Motorcycle Registry" here in Canada soon.
Estimated costs.......4 billion.....problem, no reasonable law abiding citizen will fill in the paper work and they forgot to have a back up plan for enforcement

......man, I kill myself sometimes

Problem is, I bet not one of those bikes has ever been sold in the North American market. Anything smaller than 500cc is sissy here. And two strokes.....heaven forbid.

By breading like rabbits is actually china's downfall even though they currently have the largest manned military(#$%* they dump like 20ish % of the countries income into it). The interesting thing is that china is trying to control their population by only allowing like one child per family or something like this. The problem here that if a family has a girl they usually kill it and try again tell they have a male(sick.. yes I agree considering I have two girls). Now they are a county where their younger to middle age individuals are mostly male... If they dont fix there ways soon they will soon run out of girls to reproduce w/ and end up w/ a country full of old men.

There is a lot of money to be made of that junkyard... someone needs to capitalize off of it.

RETARDS!

I dont care as the prices globally will climb. I say burn them if they are too dumb to ride them.

Reminds me of this stupid thing I read from many years ago. There was a black man hung in a court house lawn

They decided to cut down all the trees to avoid future hangings. The hell with the morons that did the hangings.

need side panels for a 78 750f
wonder where could i go

burmashave · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2007, 02:50:57 PM »

Has anyone noticed how neatly the bikes have been stacked/trashed?

heffay · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2007, 04:16:49 PM »

i really don't think that pile consists of ANY bikes that have been ridden in at least 10-15 years. i think they found a junk yard to have a visual attachment to the story.

moral to the story: if any of us decides we might want to move to china... friends don't let friends move to china

whatever they have stopped in the way of biker gang related crime will have to be compensated for by the additional traffic hassles of 2 billion people who have to use 4 wheels. i guess traffic cops are easier to train.

watchout next there may be Bicycle gangs or heaven forbid car gangs

better ban those too, as a matter of fact lets ban shoes too, then they cant even outrun the police

ha, funny thing. I was watch a documentary about China last week. The show producers went to a motorcycle factory that apparently produced more motorcycles in a year than all the Harley-Davidson plants put together can assemble in a decade.

'Cause they're not allowed to ride anymore. They just push them around saying "vroom vroom!"

That or they're working on a unicycle. $:-\$

Wow

Those pics are wild. Somebody should be able to build a bike or 2 out of them parts (a bike with two wheels that is).
