Okay, this thread won't be as serious. I'm actually killing time waiting for my stuff to upload on ebay!

First of all, I'd ride my motorcycle in the inaugural parade. No wheelies, don't wanna upset the Secret Service guys. They work hard enough as it is! Of course, I don't have an American motorcycle. Harleys don't do anything for me, so that leaves Polaris' Victory series. Heeyyyy, come to think of it, that's a good choice! Victory! My two faves are Honda and Triumph. And unlike President Bush 41, I'd actually be playing my guitar onstage at the inaugural ball. Look ma, the new president plays a Gibson Flying V!

Secondly, I'd push legislation to make lane-splitting legal in all 50. At least for intersections. I can't stand waiting for the four-wheel sludge to shuffle through the lights during rush hour. Just lemme squeeze up to the front so I can leave the herd behind when the light goes green!

Of course, I would be promoting motorcycles as mainstream transportation. Secretary of Transportation? Take your pick: Doug Chandler, Ben Bostrom, Wayne Rainey, the list of choices goes on. Don't want to sit in that jam of SUVs? Get in the bike lane and rock on! I'd challenge greenie-weenies that promote ridiculous mass-transit busses to find a real alternative. Use less gas! Take up less space on the road! Save yourself the work of converting that old bay-window VW Bus to run on vegetable oil (I've actually seen it done. The li'l wanna-be commie had "Powered by vegetable oil, NOT WAR!" written on the back.) and get yourself a bike. The only things that'll get you more chicks are playing guitar and bathing.

Then I'd get down to serious work, like creating new incentives to increase military enrollment. That way, we'd have more troops to work the land borders. And yes, bolster the INS, get the financial suits out of that office and promote actual INS folks to run that show. In fact, I'd be tempted to request Michelle Malkin to be a top advisor to the INS. Wouldn't that put Jesse Jackson and CAIR's undies in a wad, having a non-white person make racial profiling an active factor in our nation's security!

Ah, but that's the boring stuff. Any other bikers have ideas for a two-wheeled administration?

Well Censport, I'm afraid you lost me on the "Harleys don't do anything for me" comment. LOL. Nothing beats riding a Harley. Well OK, sex, but that's the only thing that's better than riding a Harley.

But you were right on the money when you said "The only things that'll get you more chicks (than riding a motorcycle) are playing guitar and bathing."

LOL. You sure got that right. (At least for Harleys anyway. I can't testify for Hondas and such.) Just picture a 600-pound, 75-horsepower vibrator that goes 110+ miles an hour, and you can see why we never have any trouble getting women to jump on.............

I’d go with Robbie Knievel for Secretary of Transportation and he’s a strong supporter of the President and the troops. It might even score some points with Ann Coulter who hates Mineta.

In honor of our British friends I’ll stick with the Bonneville over the Harley too. My wife says riding a Harley is too much like overly extended foreplay.

[MontyPython]

Over the years I've owned two Triumph Bonnevilles, a late-60's 650 and a late 70's 750. Both were excellent bikes. Ran real good, started reliably every time, went real fast, cornered very well, etc.

But neither one was even remotely comparable to a Harley. Especially not in the "attracting women" category.

And no offense BillW (or your wife), but lots of women I know enjoy extended foreplay............

[Censport]

MontyPython, I've heard numerous women tell me why they like Harleys. I know what they do for women, they just don't do that for me. Of course, since I do play guitar, I'm already attracting women and therefore have the option of riding a motorcycle that does other things. In fact, one girlfriend told me that she didn't mind me havng a bike, as long as it was a cruiser so she could ride too. I told her that I rode to get away from life's stresses, not to take them along with me (my bike at the time was a '96 Ducati 900SS/CR). She didn't like that.

Guess which one I kept....

But hey, I'm non-partisan. I'd have Harley guys in my cabinet too! ;-D

[leftcoast, right winger]

Man! You got rid of a "Duck" for some gal?? Remind me not to vote for you!

Too bad sleds are too impracticle for old guys like me most of the time. Couldn't ride worth a darn anymore. Not that I ever could.

[Censport]

BZZZZZ!

Sorry LCRW, but you guessed wrong! But thanks for playing! Now Vanna will escort you offstage.... no wait, you'd probably like that. Come to think of it, so would I!

The Duck stayed around for a couple of years after her. Long enough for her to dump me, date another guy who took her to a friend's wedding, dump him, and marry the groom.

Even a 996SPS would've been less maintenance!
