so, who still makes that "first" bike?

What, no more Blast now, a bike that many have leaned/learned on and owned as a first bike? A 500 cc basic ride that had good reliability, OK handling, lightweight, low ride heights and don't let me forget 70+ mpg.

Check it out at Buell Blast Buell Motorcycles

so In My Humble O-Pine Buell decides to give this market to other bikes, other companies that with a good "intro" bike a customer might want to stick with that company... I know, Buell said that the people and buyers saw Buell as only making the Blast and nothing else, but come on... are the customers really that dumb not to understand a complete model line up?!

always get a second o pine! updated 8-4-09

Good morning,
I want everyone to understand something... please get as much info as you can on important topics of the day and bills congress and the president are working on... the following clip is from an ABC show with no balance, no other side, just the presidents views on health care, luckily, they did let in some very important questions and the president's answer must be heard by everyone




I don't like going politically on my blog, so I'll keep my views to myself on this, maybe he misunderstood the question, but on page 420 or something of the proposed bill, "end of life care" issues are raised and Canada and England do stop and ration health care for older citizens, not enough money to keep to old people going I guess; but another shocking development in this story/debate/whaterveryouwant to call it, yesterday(8-4-2009) a story started that the White House wanted to know who on the Internet, e-mails and blogs, was against their plan for health care reform... so if they want to know who they are then what?! Should I flag myself with this blog posting?! (BTW to be a snitch, send your spy reports to flag@whitehouse.gov)
What will they do with that list of bloggers and e-mailers I wonder... thank God I'm underemployed and basically homeless so there isn't much more they can take from me... who knows maybe they are making a list for a future camp for people like me

peace and love to everyone

moon in the mind today

Hi all,
1969 today humans for a second in time found something...



place above so bright
frozen in time, journeys end
beginning of dreams?

thanks to all those who made the moon landings possible so long ago and shame on humanity for forgetting what it means to be human

beer review, Kona Brewing Co's Fire Rock Pale Ale

Hi Everyone,
I tried out a new beer this week, Fire Rock Pale Ale from the Kona Brewing Co from Hawaii... a super product, great quality from first impression, great fresh taste and flavor and excellent color. Publix has a coupon available for $3 off a salty snack purchase when you buy two six packs of a Kona Brewing Co Product, the Pale Ale was on sale so I tried that one and got some snack chips for lunches. Publix offers one other Kona Brewing Co product, Longboard Island lager that I will try at a later date

This is one of the best beers and pale ales' I've had to date and I highly recommend this beer and can't wait to try other brews from this company

new Moby album out

Hi,
Moby has a new album out, wait for me, available at his web site www.moby.com, this is in my opinion is one of his best yet. The download quality is excellent and the cost isn't bad at all(cheaper than seeing a movie, which I decided not to see to get this music, I'll catch Up on DVD or blueray around Christmas hopefully, a music album will last much longer than seeing a movie once in my life in my opinion.)

I'm still listening to it, but my first impressions have been great overall sound, subdued and melancholy are just a few ideas/words that might describe it.

have a great Independence Day everyone

Hi All
hope you have a great Independence Day weekend. Please remember why tomorrow is a holiday and keep in your minds the status of the people in Honduras and Iran and North Korea as we take tomorrow to celebrate the birth of our Nation.

Daniel Hannan, member of the European Parliament, has a wonderful talk on many things important for us this weekend, if you have time over the next few days, please take a look and listen. Sometimes it takes an outsider to see the truth that we miss in our day to day lives.
