Our local Outlaws clubhouse is in Ormond Beach but the younger ones hung out at Crooks Den until it burned to the ground a few years back, it's relocated around the corner. Louie the Lip was murdered there by a rival gang member__Pagan iirc.

I haven't been to any bike weeks since before my divorce.  I am ready to go to them again.  I will be out of debt by end of June and can start living it up a bit (I am gonna save a lot more too).

I wanna do a 24 hour straight ride to keys. ... I can probably get there in 18-20 hrs I think if I ride hard.  I don't stop.  I go tank to tank and rode straight to Chicago in one day through atrocious weather.  I don't like stopping and taking long breaks, unless the whole point is the trip is to take our time ... for a destination trip to the keys, I'd just ride hard and fast and try to get there ASAP.

I like about a ten minute stop and tank to tank.  Full tank slam an energy drink ... maybe pizz if you have to and then kick stands up and let's get moving.  That's how I like to travel.  So I don't like so much traveling in a huge azz group for a long bike trip.  I'd rather just have me and those who want to ride hard go and we'll meet the rest of the crew when they get there.

Some new stuff re: Lev

(CNN)New documents released Friday evening by House Democrats show communications between indicted Rudy Guiliani associate Lev Parnas and an aide to the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee in which they arrange interviews with Ukrainian officials and apparent meetings at the Trump hotel in Washington, DC, including with Giuliani.

The materials draw California Rep. Devin Nunes even further into the efforts undertaken by Giuliani and his associates to dig up dirt on the President's political rivals.
The WhatsApp exchanges show that Nunes aide Derek Harvey raised questions about foreign assistance to Ukraine in late March 2019.
On March 29, 2019, Harvey asked Parnas, "Can we get materials?"
Parnas told Harvey in an April text message that he would be interviewing "the general prosecutor that got fired by Biden," who is Viktor Shokin. Parnas also referenced Ukraine's then-prosecutor, Yuriy Lutsenko. Both prosecutors also spoke to Giuliani in his effort to dig up dirt on the former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
"Let's do our call at 12 and we can do the first prosecutor at 1 your time?" Parnas texted Harvey on April 17, 2019

"Okay," Harvey responded.
Two days later, Harvey texted Parnas: "Lev. I think we are best served by sending the official letter and receiving documentation before any more interviews."
The text exchanges between Harvey and Parnas included multiple references to John Solomon, the former conservative columnist for The Hill who published columns attacking former US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.

In one text, Harvey told Parnas in April 2019 that "Solomon needs to get me the material."
Lev Parnas: Trump would've traded an endorsement for political dirt from Ukraine's ex-president Poroshenko
Lev Parnas: Trump would've traded an endorsement for political dirt from Ukraine's ex-president Poroshenko
There are multiple references to meetings apparently at the Trump International Hotel, including a May 7, 2019, meeting with Giuliani and Solomon.

They can't be found in a person's town because everybody there is also buying online.
No, some towns are too small to have some stores. Has nothing to do with everybody is buying on line, it has to do with the populations of certain towns that some stores won't go into.

Not really. Buying some things online may be because they can't be found in a person's town.

I think folks buy online purely for convenience and cost.  For things you can wait a day or two for, you can get it for less and on your phone.

If you want to buy at a store you have the schlep to store, into store, find item, pay for it, schlep out of store can and schlep back home.  Maybe it takes the average person 40 min for this as opposed to 40 seconds on the Amazon app.

40 minutes of my time every time I want to buy something isn't worth it.  I don't really care what the reason is.

Probably so, some things I don't mind buying online and other items I prefer to go into the stores.  I know people who even buy shoes online. I can't do that unless I know the shoe is going to be a narrow as that is what I wear.

I'm just merely saying that those who buy things online contribute to the wealth of the one percenters who capitalize onn the convenience that they enjoy  and which they don't think deeply enough about.
Some people do care but when there town doesn't support the demography to sustain some stores than it is easier to order online. Some things I don't mind ordering online but a lot of things I don't.

The Pagans still have their crap hole clubhouse down by the tracks in Bradford.

They've been pretty much run out of Buffalo and I don't think they've had the nuggies to ride into Jamestown in at least ten years.

What is Jamestown like?  I visited Buffalo/ Niagara and seeing Jamestown on exit signs. i knew it was several miles out of Buffalo. I have heard many references to that city in the past...

"Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will no longer use "royal highness" titles and won't receive public money for their public duties, Buckingham Palace said Saturday.

In addition, the couple will pay back money spent renovating Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their home in the U.K."

Wow the queen dropped the hammer on them.  She's bad azz.

I totally agree.
It's a different world today, like it or not unless you live in a city proper you're stuck with something the Walton family put up nearby or you look on the net for what you need.

I will add that a lot of internet commerce is run by smalltime owners just trying to make a living.
Bezos doesn't own it all.

It's about eighty miles south of Buffalo to drive.
A smallerish rust belt city surrounded by farms and the Alleghany mountains.

Much slower than Buffalo but a city nonetheless.

It's good you're heading south. Those washboard roads in the northeast will rattle your brains with that hardtail you got.  :)
