Hey,
Wild and stressful, I find watching anything about governments stressful, including ours. That’s why we need to get out there and vote.
We are living in the absolute best of times. Think about it. We have access to the best food, best roads, best vehicles and best booze. We should be rocking and rolling, partying every day. Hell, just look at our TV sets, they are massive and clear as a bell. We have content running out our ears.
Hell, look at bike building and the resources at our fingertips to build anything we want and ride all over the world. It’s all amazing, but one political party is trying to ruin everything and take control of everything. Why? Because they can and there’s crazy money out there to steal and or use to upset freedom, honesty and integrity.
But No Negatives Waves. We can fix this shit. Get out and vote. Here’s just one reminder. They were all in favor of Climate doom which would ultimately eliminate anything touching oil. Choppers would be dead to them, quick. Let’s keep the chopper world alive. Go Vote!

LANE SPLITTING NEWS: Utah lane filtering: The Transportation Interim Committee advanced a proposal to make the state’s lane-filtering law permanent (removing the July 1, 2027 sunset) and expand it to roads with posted limits up to 55 mph (from the current 45 mph ceiling). Freeways such as I-15 and I-215 would remain excluded. Safety data showed no statistical increase in crashes under the existing pilot. Full legislative consideration is expected in the 2027 session.
HARLEY CEO IS WORKING–Harley-Davidson’s Q3 2026 results (reported Oct. 29) showed solid retail momentum under its “Back to the Bricks” strategy. North American retail sales rose 9% (fourth consecutive quarter of growth), and global retail was up 5% to about 35,833 units.
Dealer inventory fell 26% year-over-year. HDMC (motorcycle business) revenue dropped 10% to ~$964 million because of deliberately lower shipments (33,616 units, down 8%) to align wholesale with demand.
The company raised full-year guidance for the second time: HDMC retail sales and shipments of 135,500–139,000 units and operating income of $25–55 million.
Consolidated net income fell sharply year-over-year due to a large one-time HDFS gain in the prior-year quarter.
LiveWire withdrew its guidance, and Harley indicated it is not planning to fund the electric unit’s operating losses.
WHAT’S NEXT?–Every week is nuts.
I’m supposed to be a grubby biker in the shop building something and drinking whiskey, not on the phone with a bookkeeper pouring over numbers for a hour.
Wow, here’s where I step away from the computer and reach for a revolver. Okay, I’ll be cool but my webmaster better get back to me quick.
For some reason my computer is throwing alerts at me, so I can step away, grab a whiskey and relax. There’s way more coming down the pike, so hang on.
Get out and vote and remember… Our only chance at freedom and choppers is to vote.
