And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Yep, a Sting Ray. But to me it was just a cruiser. To my little brother who stripped it down and built ramps to make it fly it became an Evel Knievel launch craft that entertained our neighborhood .
I was able to ride a wheelie for a measured mile when I was a kid. Thats nothing compared to what they do nowadays but I was the neighborhood hero for a while. The school bully admired my efforts and didnt beat me up. In second grade the line was "Why is Billy beating up the third graders?" Answer: because he already beat up everybody in the second grade.
I was that fast! Pretending to be Evel!!!
