Same reasons a lot of riders don't wave. Too stuck up, too tired, didn't notice you waving, hanging on for dear life...

I generally put it down to the last one, especially with HDs. Although I have noticed more waving these days so perhaps the handling has improved.

Not so much the handling as the vibrations. These days on a Harley if you take a hand off the bar it will still be about where you left it, so you don't spend the next few miles trying to catch it again...

Barring unforseen occurances, or New Years Day holidays, Red Baron is due to be open today.

Tail lights always die on a rainy night. Murphy made that a rule of tail lights many years ago.

Grandpa,
Is it morally right for me to date my sons, wife's, mother?

If neither of you are married, morals don't come into this question. You may wish to take into account the feelings of your son and daughter-in-law and any other children involved.

Morality, per se, is generally based upon scriptural principles and as more of the world turns away from the Bible as a guide, the morality of something becomes less of an issue. People still do, however have a feeling for what it proper and what is not, and this is replacing scriptural morality, the standards of which are considered either too high or out of date by many today.

This is mainly, and almost exclusively, because people wish to be free of any restrictions on their sexual desires and preferences.

And since the world is running out of fossil fuels, is the old saying "Going to Hell in a handcart" a silly statement or a prediction?

So grandpa,
The same question from the biblical view, as you have touched on in your replay

I hope you read my post correctly...

Ear plugs don't normally wear out, they become yucky due to ear wax build up.

It is a metaphore.

Even from the Biblical view, this remains a personal decision, not a moral one as long as you are both free to marry.

Dating, from the Biblical view, is the getting to know someone with the view to marriage. Sexual activity is prohibited prior to marriage, it can lead to unwanted pregnancy and other problems should you decide she is not the one for you..
