Well before I rant the most the most dangerous thing I did on a motorcycle was ride on black ice not much fun at all. As far riding in the rain once the oil washes off its not as bad as it looks other drives may make it bad. Wach the 16year old girls putting on makeup eating and talking on there cell drifting in to your lane. But its the dear that scare me the most.

Well as for the USA Constitution be glade we dont use it else the USA will not have been WW1 or WW2. The USA was not threatened by Germany.

The
US police are a scary bunch of thugs there dogs have more rights than I do. But in there defence they are up against the most armed civilians in the world. But serve and protect no they stopped doing that in the 60s. (there not in the Constitution)

1st amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. not the freedom from phones being tapped. Phones in the US have tapped for some time there recored and key words screened. Freedom of speech has always been under attack I cant lie and get people killed or hurt. If it was trully free speech I will be able to. As far as I know the internet and email is not protected at all.

2nd amendment. The thorn in the side of USA government. The states run this thing in to the ground, in Arizona you can buy a fully automatic gun in Washington DC it was a illegal to even have a gun.
Katrina thing was for safety they let criminals out of jail so they dint drowned. that and the cops dint like being sniped at. PTSD if there on drugs or have been in a mental institution, got called on domestic violence (lots of othere things and the list grows all the time) then yes they cant have a gun.

Constitution form cover to cover? (its that big) its one part of the law. You really want the USA to use just this to run it self? No army, getting most all of the trillions in taxes from taxing imports? Become so shielded from the out side world we discount even its people? Rember the Constitution was written to piss off the English King no to govern a world power.

Majority of my countryman dont
sprout about democracy they sit at home thing the worlds hates and wants to kill them. They are fat and scared (Rome liked fat and happy before it fell).

George H.W. Bush I dont like him much my self but dam it stop with giving this one man in the history of the US the credit for all the thing bad in the US. Hes one man he dint make the UK go to war he dint make the US go to war (congress did they have to vote for it pay for it and validate it).

oh and for the record he’s the guy NOT writing USA laws. He cant congress dose they have to vote for it to be a law.

Like me saying oh its the Queens fault that UK went to war with Argentina and Iraq hell shes a German.


But yes
Ron Paul is the best candidate I will vote for him he wont win it wont matter who wins. The USA is falling the EU looks to be the next supper power hope you treat the USA as well the USA treated you after the war looks like we will need it.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
