Hey from Hawkeye Country
Sorry if this is a duplicate, not sure what happened the first time.

I've been lurking around for a couple of months since about the time I decided that a Bandit would be the next bike for me (replaced a K7 WeeStrom).

I picked her up on the 16th of October and 850 miles later all I can say is "Wow".



I'm not too much into posting but do enjoy reading the forums.

Cheers

Quote:
The phrase "eminent domain" reflects an assumption Karl Marx would find congenial: government is the default owner of everything, and that private ownership, however extensive, is merely a contingent arrangement. - Will Grigg

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

The issue is always the same: the government or the market. There is no third solution. - Ludwig von Mises

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least.”… Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe—”That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. — Henry David Thoreau, 1849

Human reason must justify what the human will has chosen, even at the cost of falsifying reality. - Stephen Westerholm

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Thanks for the Welcome!
Nice to hear from each of you.

Tom, can't blame you for moving South, especially right now, we are lucky to get a 50 degree day here.

Still gotta ride though.

I really liked to Strom but the Bandit is, well, something really special IMO.

Cheers!
