Circling back to the Benelli, it is a great looking bike and I saw it was/is about $1K less than the Rebel 500 in the US.

I never was a HD guy, not in a hate HD context but a not my style context until I rode it. Power is comparable to my old Concours and handling is right there with my VFR-800. It's not a long haul bike by any means. Range is nothing to brag about and stock comfort is not great, but it is fun to ride.

Keeping reporters at a distance, supposedly using archived images re-dated to be "current" (only hearsay so far on that one). Are we possibly looking at a stunt turd while real turd is laid up/finally gone? Far fetched I know, but these things are fucked up enough to try anything to retain power.

Read the so-called order. It basically says if you are doing it illegally (flag burning by itself is not) then it is illegal, Like the law these things crowed about when they made it illegal for non-citizens to vote, which it already was illegal as well.
