Quote of the Day
"Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you know they are always there." - Unknown [especially when they creep up on you and pounce you with a hug!]
Roar! (See the problem with the internet is all these great quotes are made up and passed around so I have a hard time finding the original author.)

Here's another
I saw this on a website that I read again the other day. Today it is more relevant to me because I now ride. If anybody wants it, I will look it up and post it. It is about a lady in Ukraine (sp) that rode her bike in and around the area that was contaminated with radiation after the Chernobyl (sp) reactor accident in Apr '86. It is long because it has a lot of pics.
After I saw it, I put it as my signature. I know it says it about girls but I like fast g...............never mind. NB Oh, welcome to our 300th member.

Chris -
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but it came out awhile after she posted up that website that she was utterly and completely full of crap. She never got anywhere near where she said she did on a motorcycle once, let alone regularly, and many of the pics were of a bus tour of the area. EDIT (but as Sunny says below, it's still a kick-ass quote)

Quote:
Thanks for letting me know. A lot times the things that are seen on the web seem to be legit, and look and sound legit, but later turn out to be bogus. NB Never heard the term "Debbie Downer" what is the story behind that phrase?

Here are two links that provide additional information on the Chernobyl Biker's site. At one point she actually had the notation on her site that "poetic license" was taken to provide this art (referring to the website itself), but that note has been taken down. I'd suggest taking a peek at these two links: Link 1 Link 2 and only then making up your own mind about whether her story remains legitimate in your view. It doesn't in mine.

Thanks
for the correction, I had never seen those and I have been thinking that this person was as ballsy as she let on. But, and this is mho only, that did, for awhile, make an interesting story.
Later NB

Normally I get bunches of emails with insperation/quotes and I take these from those, which explains why I don't know who said them. Recently I haven't gotten any so I went searching the net...

One of the places that I have got quotes from is AWAD, (A word a day), they send you and email on a daily basis with words that are not in normal usage, some you may have never heard of but are in the English language. They always have a quote from some really famous person that, a lot of times, I have never heard of.

Sunny, If I may I would like to add this Qoute of the day. When I read it I totally realized that this is the real reason we get bikes when we are younger....
The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half. Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821 - 1881) |

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid
form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one. Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good old-fashioned 'stiff drink'. Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO. There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them

I believe that our banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and business that will grow up around the banks they will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it porperly belongs. - Thomas Jefferson
A wise man indeed. |
