DEALS GAP, USA - Late in the day yesterday (Wednesday) there was a rider heading northbound and got into some problems at the 10mm(known as the whip or Bens Brights, pending on the map you are looking at). Said rider somehow fell over in the exit of the turn and somehow lost some gas which ignited a fire. As of 6 pm yesterday, it was only about 10 acres, but this am its well over 50 and still burning. Truthfully, I think its even bigger than that, but I cant say for sure unless I had a helicopter. Either way, this is absolutely ridiculous. I know sh-t happens but this makes no sense. The Yamaha R-6 has an issue where you can easily shave a corner off the tank on a longer pavement slide and then ignite the gas in the tank, but I honestly dont know how this could have happened the way it did. I did see the pictures of the fire as it was fresh and the bike was a Suzuki GSXR(750 or 1000, I dont know). The fire was so hot it melted the swing arm completely, along with a couple other key parts. Suffice to say, this bike will not see another day.

Note that most of the fire was intentionally set by the fire dept, then blamed on bikers, which helps THP justify another crackdown in 2008.
Last night, there were still 100s of fires burning on US129, some right next to the road. Deadly smoke clouds included flameless guysers erupting from holes in the ground. Video looked like Hell on Earth. One gust of wind could burn down the entire Smokies. According to the absent Forest Service and Blount County fire dept, that's 'under control'. BTW, I put out 2 of those fires using only my feet. Imagine what a fire dept could do if they tried.

That's it.
It's official.
This idiot doesn't bother to read anything here, he just posts his garbage and moves right along.
So we could say something like
Fuck off you fucking retard, you have shit for brains, the sensitivity of a rhinocerous, and .... to use one of my all time favourite (NOT FUCKING FAVORITE  ) quotes
"You are about as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool"
and he'll never know. 
Edit: I see he has replied ( in a fashion) so will get to see this. Excellent.

Nah.
I heard he drowned her in the swamp and married his pony.
They can do that there you know.
In fact I believe they are allowed to marry several.
You've heard of the mormons
Down south they lost the "M"

Had a couple of Mormons or The Church Of The Latter Day Saints Of Jesus Christ as they like to call themselves knock on my door the other day as I was working on my bike, I was OK with them till one told me that his mate knew all about bikes and could give me some advice, His mate was cringing, I just said good bye.

My wife used to be a Jehovah's Witness...until I came along .
If they knock your door tell them politely that you're not interested as your Wife/Mrs/boyfriend etc has been Disfellowed from the Church.....They will Blacklist your address, and won't come back!!! You can then spend Sundays in peace ,Polishing the bike, without getting hassle off God Botherers.

I once lived with a megachristian in a student house and she invited them back at a specified time and I watched them sit in the garden with their bibles discussing for hours.
Man did I have a laugh.
I also had a friend who was one. He was a lovely guy but 90% of his conversation was talking about that crap.
I'm a big fan of religious discussion but not with utterly closed minds.
Well done for "saving" her

I would say that it's one of my better moves.....in fact That is MY BEST EVER MOVE...EVER!!
She's a superb woman...even MADE me buy the Busa, I do however have the resistance of a wet Kit Kat!
Best thing about it is that we were Childhood sweethearts, I was courting her for 3 years in Comprehensive school......I Then buggered off and ended up in the Army, fast forward 13 years, after I left the Military, we bumped into each other again...she binned her husband (Who was a lazy, Racist, arrogant workshy arsehole) and I binned the bunny boiler I was with......and everything has turned out just fine.....(as long as I keep the house tidy, put my leathers away,clean up after the dog, put my empties out for re - cycling, don't leave my pants on the floor...this list is not exhaustive OR endless)

My best move ever was a Van Dame style backhand punch to a guy standing behind me outside a nightclub (The Crypt) in Hastings Aparently his nose exploded, he was taking the piss out of my height, he said Oi Squat, altho in my defence he'd been digging at me all night I'd already headbutted him (on the chin actually  ) on the dance floor clearly didn't get the message.
My mates were well impressed.

My old man was in the Army same as me....in his spare time him and a few mates worked as Bouncers in the Local Nightcubs frequented by Squaddies in Germany in the early 70's......NEVER pick on the Short bloke...the Old man is 5' 5...all the others were 6 foot plus.
If the little guy has got the Balls and bottle to have a go ..no matter how tall you are, what are his brick shithouse 6 ft plus mates gonna do to you?
They always formed a ring around the offending individuals, sent the little bloke in with a smile and he told them to behave....cracking tactic, one I ALWAYS remembered when I was a young lairy soldier in clubs in the 'Shot.....
The little bloke with the white shirt and Dickie Bow ALWAYS has lots of big mates, who WILL put you into Hospital.

Not only that but why would the little bloke be there?
They don't employ people who can't look after themselves to be bouncers and a little bloke is gonna have to be much better at that than the big blokes.
I always take out the small ones first 'cos if you leave them they can cause a lot of trouble.
(Alright, that was a lie but I would if I could)
And another thing. Look at the size of all the top dogs on the planet. They are all midgets. 5'4" or less.
