They will probably cave to him, that's how it works nowadays. Want your way, whine a little.

It's not really the people that cave, they are made to cave or else. I'm not even going to go on a rant about how much this subject pisses me off because if I did it would be about 10 pages long. I just hate what this country has become thanks to all of the Whiney azz Liberals, that's all I will say.

Well said, and the thing about it is "Japs" at least in my opinion is not even a derogatory term. It's no different than someone saying whites or blacks, or Brits etc

A good portion of YOU PEOPLE seem to be very out of touch and need to get out of your one track minded bubble
When someone from California becomes king of the world, they can make the word "Jap" illegal. Until then; I'd suggest you do what most intelligent people do when they hear a derogatory term or have it used on them. Which is; let it go instantly, including the emotion. Allowing the mere utterance of a word to upset you, makes you the weak one. Not to mention, that once someone finds your weakness button; they'll remove the button and install a crank.

At 17 years old I left my home to serve this country and forever protect my right say what I please. I made the payment, as many others did, so I will exercise my 1st Amendment right as I please. I guess I'm one of those "YOU PEOPLE", but I'm not offended by it. Heck, I guess I'm kinda proud of it.


Now back to the regularly scheduled thread: 500cc Harley Davidson Motorcycles

I don't like what they've done with certain models, ie the Fatboy. 2014 only came out with 4 colors and not a one that I'd want. So I went ahead and bought the 2013 in Midnight Pearl. Even with this bike I don't like that they offered it with your choice of gold & blue, or silver & blue pin-striping. It's grown on me but I'd still prefer it without the pin-striping.

Crap.
I'd take "Japanese" 24h/day 7 days/week, over Indian built stuff.
