  1. Hot rods, Motocross (Off road dirt bikes in Europe), and the Hell's Angles (on road in the USA) started after WW2. Motocross made it's way to the USA in 1968. All three, were based on the individual who wanted excitement in their lives. Many were WW2 Vets returning home. Others were free spirits involved in manufacturing. All three share the spirit that makes individual freedom great, because individual freedom is where all greatness comes from, (OK, the Hell's Angles were not always great, and that is not really good).

  2. The movie advertisement before this vid for me was about a movie called "The Accountant", where the "hero" is a smart guy who becomes a accountant for gangs and thugs. Where are the real hero's that showed greatness to look up to? A dead romantic era,---is not good.

  3. All that work, all that organization, all that unification, and all I did was drive a stick in a field and rode dirt bikes before I got a drivers license, and never had a hard time going 6 months with out a citation as this kid did after all his hard work. If you want to be a safe driver, go learn how to race something.

  4. Learning the rules of the road is easy compared to learning how to drive.

  5. Yes, I did a bit of research on the history of the USA auto industry and found GE, was trying to make an electric car around the 1890's. It was the free market, (what works), that decided back then. Now we have government interests telling our last 2 companies what to build, which adds to expense while public transportation is pushed at the same time. I miss the free market, where we could compete if nobody was building what we wanted.

  6. "adds"? OK, I will. 1 plus 1 is 2. If that is to tough for you,---hit the skip button. Some decent stuff you missed here, and you could not be more lazy. Life is going to get rough for you. The era of entitlement is over. Some effort is required for mankind to survive. It was just a skip button. Now who would hire you? really?
