The sentence makes it sound like an "us vs them" mentality and is putting all motorcyclists into one group.

OK. Now I think I get it.  You would have preferred a lead-in sentence like "Afton Council discusses options to deal with motorcycle noise and excessive speeds."

Note that I never disagreed with the content of the article, just the sentence that would preload the reader to think negatively about all motorcyclists.

Or lead a reader to think negatively about some Afton City Council members.

Here here!!  LOL...well said though.  It's going to be interesting to see what they do.

If they ever repave CR 21 & Stagecoach its going to be even more interesting!!

NP 

Does anyone by chance have a route sheet for this one?  I looked in the routes section but didn't see anything.  Below is what I had for info on when the ride was done before.  Post up if you know or have a copy.  Thanks!!

0730 for breakfast
0845 Ride will start at Country Kitchen
31303 64th Avenue Path
Cannon Falls, MN 55009
(just off the intersection of 52 and 24)

Ride will end at Dairy Queen
31943 64th Avenue
Cannon Falls, MN 55009
(just south of the ride start--52 west frontage road--, next to the Honda Yamaha dealership)

I know my Victory is loud so I tend to be cautious with how much I rev it close to home.  It helps that I'm right off a highway so within a block it doesn't really matter anymore.

I do agree though that we all get lumped into general categories by the non-riding public.  I don't think its fair & do try to represent other riders well by not being an asshat when I ride.

Its sort of like being in the military or working in public safety.  The public sees the uniform & if you mess up while wearing it they don't see you as an individual, they just see the entity you are representing in that uniform.

Sorry Tim....I didn't mean for my comment to take it that far off topic.
It did spark some interesting conversation though & good points by Vander & Matt.

No worries BTW Matt...I know what you meant by your comment.
I was just countering it w/some humor...you did hit it on the head with the next one.

I forgot about Twistar since I can't make it.  Sun is the only day I have free that weekend.

So there's three interested so far....if we get more I'll get the "official" thread started.

We've been getting a lot of requests for work lately but still have plenty of room on the schedule to take on more.

Don't forget we also do residential & commercial lock work, set up master key systems for rental properties, & sell a variety of safety & security products.

I recently did some of my own price shopping on some basic jobs & consistently our prices were much lower than any of the places I spoke with.

I try my best to keep up on PM's but the fastest way to find out more info is to either visit our website below or call 651-428-0588 & talk to Mark.

Thanks for considering M&S Locksmith and for checking out the thread!!
