Yeah..it's for sure I want advice from Christopher Hitchens on his ideas of 'Thinking for yourself''.
You or him don't need to give me lessons,Laddie...
Ugly day in Indiana? Here in the Geneva region it's been raining and snowing for 5 months in a row now. About 3 days of sun. At least the Aero / AL stuff keeps me entertained, even my dog refuses to go out (and he was born and raised on a farm).
There's clearly two camps on TFL.
1) shameless shills coming to tell great stories of incredible things. New guys always. Wonderfully penned prose of this new potential kind of the FQHH throne.
2) those sick of such transparent shills.
Some interpret things one way, some another. But there's plenty that needs no interpretation, and some that will apparently become more clear in the near future.
On the one side, kangaroos. On the other, the blind, impartial, or maybe part of the crew. Anyone posting up a thread like this is baiting, plain and simple. The first one or two maybe I could have been naive enough to fallen for it. But once details of the split became more public, the number of new guys posting praise for those folks increased - all with "I'm just a new guy" tone of innocence.
Consider me not taking the bait.

I had a dog that hated going out in the rain once. Bit of a disadvantage where I live since the winter is usually mild and wet, cold and wet, or just wet. A swift sidefoot up the arse with a wellie did the trick.

@nick: sure, we all shill when were happy. However, in the years here and other places, I've come to get good at recognizing genuine vs being played. New guys almost always come in asking tons of questions (as did I) and getting to know the joint and occupants. Since the (second) big Aero debacle in as many years, and the creation of this new entity, these posts have come in regularly. People aren't stupid. And of course when were happy, we post praise - legitimately so.
But people here know from a posted joint statement that something(s) happened at Aero with said persons. Two well-respected companies in the leather jacket biz. Now, there's a separate scandal breaking in regards to leather jackets found belonging to Aero. If one were to be so fair as to ignore all this and just go "yay, another happy customer", they'd have to be placing head deeply into the sand. I prefer to breath.
Me too. But I've got asthma... HD, high 30s here, raining, still saw lots of bikes out this morning. I don't ride, I prefer my Jeep Wrangler. Excellent this winter, does not go fast, but I always get where I need to go... A bit like FQHHI prefer to breath.
Knowing the current state of things, get a jacket, post pics. Leave the BS regarding both companies out of it. Bait son is bait. No commies, but zombies and aliens. Believe it or fall.BobJ starting posting last august about buying an Aero. Have you checked for commies under the bed this morning ?http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?65837-Noobie-test-post-intrduction-and-questions...
