I noticed you said "feedback from anyone else", so I'll
refrain from offering more. <g> But I will point out that
your link to the website has a slight error in it, and it

Since you conveniently provided the link to BentRider, I
went over there and read your somewhat disgusting article on
the Bike Florida ride. For God's sake Varney, get rid of
those awful white whiskers. Anyone who wants too ogle the
girls has got to at least look like a normal human being,
even if you are an old fool. And by the way, Southern women
who talk the way they do are not in the least bit charming.
They invariably sound like ignorant hillbillies and the
first thing they have to do when they come North is to lose
their god awful accent. It is nothing but Gomer Pyle **** at
its worst.

What you need in the worst way is an editor who will ride
rough shod over you and censor you. Varney in the rough is
not for civilized folks to read. Where the hell is this Ball
character anyway? He has got to be the world's worst editor.

Well, at least I enjoyed your photos. So thanks for
that anyway.

We have gotten rid of most of the nuts and screwballs
(except for a few who linger on), but I am working at
getting rid of the remainder. Why the hell should this
newsgroup be given over to treasonous and seditious liberals
who hate this country and want nothing better than to see
this country brought low - down to the abysmal level of the
Europeans. Screw that! America is the greatest and goodest
nation that has ever existed on the face of the earth and I
am here to tell it like it is. These g.d. liberals can all
go to hell, or better yet, they can all go to France - which
is the same thing as hell.

These "cool" types that DeVault laments are no longer here
on ARBR were all America haters and were an abomination to
the human species. May their souls rot in everlasting hell
fire. I pray that when the Muslims start killing us in this
country, that they will only kill these g.d. liberals! That
is the only way we will ever be rid of them.

Does anyone here note besides me that DeVault is a French
sounding name?

As I mentioned over at BROL, since Larry _owns_ a TE I
thought there might have been some comparison to it. Larry's
defense was that the TE was an older model and thus not
representative of the current line.

I would submit that the TE is something of a living fossil
(hey, when its right, don't mess with it) and that its
handling and performance envelope haven't changed
significantly in oh, say, 20 years. ;-) A newer bike might
have different components, (although even there, TE is not
famous for jumping on the latest trends), but I think speed
and handling impressions might be fairly compared.

The Easy Racer bikes are more or less the gold standard
in this class, and are more expensive than anything in
this class, so when any new bike enters this class, I
think the question of how it compares to the ER bikes is
going to come up.

To clarify this a little, part of the reason I didn't
compare the RDX to a TE is that I like to restrict my
comments to the bike in question, and not open the can of
worms that would result in comparisons. For instance,
there would be bikes that I might not mention, and people
would want to know about. And really, I would rather a
bike be judged on its own merits, and not on how it
compares to another. And comparisons can be awfully
subjective, unless actual, objective tests were done to
each bike, at about the same time. Otherwise, a
comparison of handling, speed, braking, etc., would be an
exercise in memory, in how we suppose that other bike
would be doing. Would a TE have gone down the hill faster
than the current bike just did? Would it have handled the
bumps better? Hard to say. Well, no, it's not hard to
say, but it's hard to say it with anything objective to
support it, usually. It would be really neat to get
together a bunch of bikes and do a real comparison test,
like we see in some of the car magazines, with each rider
swapping bikes frequently, making notes, etc.

It IS a french name.

What you need is an "alt.eddolan.ego" group. And you can be
lord, president and chairman all at the same time. Too bad
no one would read it. This news group does not belong to
you. As a matter of fact it was started by some very
liberal types. So they started it and now you are claiming
it as your own?

What a *****...

Gabriel DeVault

DeVault means "of the forest" it's a french AND a liberal
name, flame away!

Which would account for your defense of France and all she
stands for in the world today. Mostly, she stands for
disgrace and shame, but that is the French for you!

That is an interesting history you bring here to the
newsgroup about how liberals started this group. I have
always suspected as much and you are quite right about me
wanting to get some fairness and balance here. It is
irrelevant who started the group for its present purpose,
but it is interesting nonetheless. If I had the slightest
interest in taking over the newsgroup I would be posting
like mad on ALL the topics (even the rather esoteric ones,
like a present one dealing with different tire sizes), but I
have no interest in that at all. But I do have an interest
in seeing that ARBR does not become a liberal playground for
bashing Bush, the Republicans and conservatives. And I
particularly do not like to see posts that put this country
down regardless of political ideology. I am a strong
defender of the present administration and of this country.
Is that all right with you?

By the way, you are the only one here who is showing a lot
of ego because you have not posted correctly. You are top
posting, ever the hallmark of an egomaniac who thinks
everyone is always up to speed on whatever it is that the
subject thread is about.You are the one who is showing
contempt for the reader and for the newsgroup, not me!

> What a *****...

Yup, life is a *****! I have been saying that for 65 years
now. Life is a ***** ... and then you die!

I will only flame away if and when you want to defend
France's action with respect to the War on Terror (of which
Iraq is central). But I warn you, I will go absolutely
berserk and the name calling will be extremely unpleasant.

Gabe,

No one wants to participate in a moderated newsgroup,
especially one as moderated as this group! It's too bad.
Before the moderator arrived this group was informational
and clever. YMMV was appreciated. Now we have Joseph
McCarthy moderating this group! Differences of opinion are
not tolerated!

This confounded idiot still top posts despite all my good
advice to the contrary.

The only thing I am moderating are all the liberal
screeds that used to prevail here. I will challenge those
screeds and call you out on them. But if Butler had his
way the group would be persona non grata to all except
nut wacko liberals. If Butler wants to say something
informational and clever, let him go ahead and say it. I
am waiting with bated breath. Of course, he is bankrupt
and can't think of anything to say about anything -
except to complain about me.

About differences of opinion - they are tolerated within
bounds. You are not free to come on this newsgroup and hate
America. If you do so I will be here to challenge, confront
and excoriate you for the villain that you are. It is OK to
hate France however. And it is also OK to hate the Muslim
foe since we are at war with them.

A Minnesota liberal is right next to a Massachusetts
liberal, i.e. to say, a genuine dumbbell! They are on their
way out and the sooner this country is rid of them and their
ilk the better off we will be. I consider them treasonous
and seditious and if I had my way I would so charge them and
put them on trial for their lives. But there is no justice
in this world and if there is another world after death then
God will have to deal with them.

Not responding is NOT a choice because I am saying things
that need to be responded to if you are human being and have
any balls. I always get just a bit personal too in my
messages so that only ostriches like you and Cletus Lee can
opt out. But birds like you two are few and far between. I
will engage others because I know how to be engaging -
something you could learn how to do from me rather than
contemplating your own navel all the time and advising
others to chicken out like you do.

Another set of covering comments from Ed Dolan, ARBR Closet
Liberal. You can say anything you want, but it won't make up
for being a McGovern supporter to the bitter end.

And now we know why Ed Dolan, ARBR Closet Liberal, is in the
closet. He must have heard this in a bar somewhere and it
scared the bejesus out of him.

Ed, move to Wisconsin, get an American Socialist bumper
sticker and chill. You liberals are safe enough. This
protective coloration that you are trying to use here is no
better than when you vacation in France with a Canadian flag
on your luggage.

Now that is truly funny! McGovern drove me absolutely mad.
It got to the point where I only wanted to know what
McGovern thought about something so I could think the exact
opposite and know I was 100% right because McGovern was
ALWAYS 100% wrong about EVERYTHING. He was the most
consistent fool I have ever known. Even Mondale could not
compare to McGovern. And I was glad that McGovern had
problems with his daughter who died young of a drug
overdose. I am sure that he raised her to be that way. I
mean, what the hell do liberals know about anything, let
alone raising children. Serves the old fool right!

He was back on the **** tube a few days ago pontificating
about Iraq. He is as wrong about that as he was wrong about
Vietnam. Like I said, a consistent fool to the bitter end!

Did you not ever read my message of some months ago where I
said the secret to drinking is always to drink at home
alone. That way you will stay out of trouble and stay out of
jail. Jeez, pay attention why don't you? You need to hang on
my every word as I am dripping with the most profound
wisdom. And I offer it to all and sundry for free too!

I am beginning to have a very rotten opinion of the
Canadians lately too. They are not much better than the
French. They are with us in Afghanistan, but not with us in
Iraq. They allow terrorists into their country and they
allow deserters from our military safe haven in their
country. Of course, I know all of this meets with your
approval, but that is because you are treasonous and
seditious and ought to be put on trial for your life. I
would be the judge of course and it would be my pleasure to
have you put up against a wall and shot for your crimes
against the nation (even though you did serve in Vietnam -
maybe a mitigating circumstance - in which case a mere good
horse whipping might suffice for you).

It all started when Ed got a crush on Jane Fonda and
started stalking her. He never forgave her for that
restraining order.

And now I could go on for several long winded paragraphs on
what I think of Hanoi Jane, but Hells Bells, the whole
country knows what to think of Hanoi Jane. But the moral of
the Hanoi Jane episode is that actors should stick to what
they know and keep their disgusting politics to themselves.
I myself could never be influenced by what any Hollywood
actor thought about anything because I know they are all
liberal idiots (Reagan and few others excepted of course).

Only wretches like Hayden and Turner would ever want to hook
up with Hanoi Jane, a ***** and a witch and a poor excuse
for an American. I think her brother Peter and the old man
Henry Fonda might have been idiots too. Idiocy apparently
ran in that family, whether due to indoctrination or biology
is difficult to say. Poor Henry never recovered from his
role in "The Grapes of Wrath" and went through life thinking
nothing but liberal thoughts. A really sad case!

There is hope.

Our own lovable guy actually suffers from the same illness.

E.D. step on a crack and I imagine he also has a big time
crush on Helen Hunt. As far as Jack's and E.D.'s
vocabularies --they are the same (only in the movie)!
If you haven't seen this movie its one of Jack's best.

I can't blame E.D. on liberals but neither can I accept him
as a conservative --just mark the box that says other. For
now, I no longer entertain his cordial calls --as Jon says
"In OE, <Message> <Block Sender>".
