BUILDING BIKES!
its been almost 8 months since I turned out the lights in the shop but its almost time to flip the switch fire up the air compressor and blow all the dust and spider webs off of everything and get back to doin what I love.
wont be too long and the "Hillbilly" will be back to his old self again

My final order for my divorce came in the mail today and this song was the first thing that came to mind

So Im at my accounants office this afternoon and I get a text on my phone its from the local news saying that a local bank had been robbed,I tell my accountant what it was about and jokingly said I bet my friends think it was me robbing the bank to pay my damn taxes lol,he looks at me all serious and says,,,, 'well it wouldnt do you any good because money robbed from a bank is considered taxable income and youd only owe more in taxes,same thing with money if its embezzled',,,WTF? are you shittin me?,,its true you rob a bank you can catch as much hell for not paying tax on the money than the robbery itself,,,I love my country but weve got some screwed up laws

As a 'paying member' of over 5 years Id like to have someone answer a few simple questions for me please
first what is happening to this site and how can we promote the site when all its becoming is more of a place to try to avoid rather than the place it once was where we all came to chat and enjoy ourselves?
As a paying member were told that by being so and contacting support our issue will be addressed within 24 hours....not... or at least mine have never been
Then the whole troll thing we all are xxxxxx to deal with daily is completely ridiculous in my opinion,who wants to come here after a long day of working only to deal with these people who are outright racists and completly disrespectful to the women here, again my opinion is this,if a woman chooses to post pics of herself then we should be honored to be allowed to view them and that gives no one the right to judge or disrespect her for any reason,,,Period!
NN I hope somebody brings my blog to your attention and you find the time to read this and dont think Im here to down the site Im not, I for one think what youve created here is great but really if something doesnt give soon Im afraid all NN will become is a free site for trolls and woman bashers and I know I dont want to see that happen and feel sure you dont either so why not help us to help you make it the best site on the net.
I myself have temporarily left the site due to some of the before mentioned issues as well as others,some have left for a break and never returned,some are here currently just waiting for their premium to expire and they too will be gone, Is this really what you want? I dont think so.
As for the trolling and badgering if you look over current blogs you will see exactly what Im speaking of unless said person deletes it first just as they do with their offensive statuses only so they can return under a new profile name to start the whole bag of tricks yet again and drive away even more of us 'paying members'
And FYI the 'report member" button doesnt seem to be working so well as myself and at least 4 other members tryed to use last night to no avail either
Again Im not criticising you or all the hard work youve put into this place all Im saying is why not on some way help us to help you make this the best site on the net in some way by offering us a little help and support with ongoing trolls haters racists and fake profiles and if there is anything I can do personally please feel free to send a PM.....well theres my 2 cents for what its worth lol

As many of you know and for those who dont my dear friend TuxedoJunction is gone from the site,I myself as Im sure many others tried our best to convince him otherwise but during a phone conversation he gave me his personal reasons and beliefs for doing this and after he told me of these things all I could say was I'll hit the delete button for you,Tux I know youll never see this but I still feel the need to say two words to you my friend 'Thank You'.For the night you spent ours talking me out of doing something really stupid that at the time would have changed my life forever,for telling me how proud you were of me and how strong you saw me when all I really had on my mind was that one more drink that I didnt take,that on my darkest days you found the words to reel me back in and talk me off the edge just as I was about to leap,Ive always taken pride in the fact that I looked at myself as a fighter but you sir are a fighter in every sense of the word,I fought for what was best for me but you fight for whats best for the people you love and take care of your own battles when you have the time..While TuxedoJunction may not exist to NN anymore its staying on my phone so that when it rings and the ID shows up 'Tux' and I know the first words Im about to hear is 'Whats up ya ol hillbilly' makes me smile just to type it well anyway as I said you wont hear this song but many times when somebody would ask if anybody wanted a tribute youd often reply 'no just a small statue in the town square is good' lol this is my small statue to you my friend..never change ya ol Troubadour
