"History was written by those who've hanged heroes."
That is a FACT. That fact is a BIG reason that movie did so well, because it speaks to our souls...that is...IF you have one. There is precisely one book that contains the ONLY facts I'm interested in, and it ain't no shop manual about some simpleton Templar 250.

There are some powerful words in that book. Words written many moons ago, yet still apply to this day. Here's one that I really like and have attempted to commit to memory: Isaiah 10:1-4
"Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster strikes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches? Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or fall among the slain." I don't know about you, but that makes me feel better about what's happening in the world. We will all of us be held to account, whether you believe or not. Nothing new under the sun fer sure, dude.

Yeah, thought that was the book but didn't want to speculate.

Yeah, sorry. I could only take about 60 seconds of that over produced BS before I had to kill it with an "OMG, get REAL job." The title I thought was a bad start. I never met a motorcycle I hated. I've seen a lot of stuff I wouldn't ride or own but I don't recall a single one I actually hated. If you hate on certain bikes I'm pretty sure you're doing motorcycling wrong.

I will say that I hated my brothers’ Triumph Tiger Cub, but that’s the only one I hated on.
