Atrocity #1.
Today was a nice day out about 40 degrees, snow was gone and roads were farily clean, so I thought WTF i had not been out in about a week or so on my trusty Hasrley,so I road 25miles to Terre Haute, Ind, to drink my morning coffee with the guys. It was chilly but felt good. After coffee I road 2 miles to our biggest Mall and where I normally do my winter time walking of about 4-5 miles. There is a place were we all throw our coats on this bench. I have been doing this for over 3 years. normally there is from a dozen to 20 people walking every time I am there. THEY KNOW ME. My first trip around the mall and past this bench I noticed that my jacket was gone (stolen). Now this jacket was my 100th anniversary (2003 year) lambskin leather harley davidson jacket that was so well worn the the gray colors had faded.. The leather was so dry that it had numerous rips in it just from the wind drying it and cracking it, and I have had those ares just stitched over with no regard to how it looked other than to prevnet if from spreading. needless to say now this juacket is only one of one in the entire world. There could nt no jacket with the sewing repairs like this one had. I paid $500 back in 03 and today its value might be $25 at best, but to me it was priceless. It has been on my body 99% of the time for 9 years. It has been down the highway with me, been all over Europe,, it has been rolling on the highway with me. It has been with me when rammed into a hillside by a logging truck.It was one me when they drug e off the front end of a Ford pickup.. It was ME. and it had more sentimental value to me that my first peace of ass 53 years ago. IT WAS JOCKO. And now some WORTHLESS POS has stolen it. and to further top it off, I had to now ride my trusty Harley 23 miles back home with only a short sleeve T-shirt on. There is only one thng worse than a thief and that is two thiefs. at my age today I am far more of a lover (ego thing) than a fighter but trust me Terre hasute is not that big and this POS will turn up someday with my vintage Harley jacket, and I probalby will get the sh-t kicked out of me but he will certainly know that stealing my jakcet was not worth it.
No Bawanna I am not going to settle down and take my meds, Fokk this sh-t..

Dam jocko that suck big time! I know how you feel about your jacket as I have a nice leather one I bought on my honeymoon 20 years ago and I still love that jacket. If some scumbag swiped it i'd be so pissed don't know what I'd do.
I hope you find it and I hope the guy is small......
Sorry to here about this JOCKO. WEll if you do run into this miscreant...even if you get you arse kicked, you can take comfort in the fact that at least he didn't get it for free. Damn I hate a theif!!!!
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his BVD's.:7:

ATROCITY #2
Today I read where Govenor Chris "TWIT" Christie is flying the flag at the statehouse at half staff in HONOR OF WHITNEY HUSTON. WTF is the matter with this guy???. He has IMO sh-t on the symbolic nature of a flag at half mast, It was done to honor those who served, be it over seas on in law enforcemtnt and other high offices held throghout this country. Now I truly think Whitney Huston has the most fabolus voice I have ever heard and she was beautiful, until one seen her pictured these past years as a true druggie. How in the Fokk do we now honor a druggie with this symbolic half mast at the statehouse. If it isn't an insult to those who gave all,,, it should be to their families.Did Michael Jackosn or Elvis get this symbolic honor, they were famous beyond what Whitney ever was but they also as she did choose the way they wanted to live and to die. Who will be next: Charles Mansion?????
I bet audie Murphy is rolling in his grave!!!
Hell my two heros were Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Hell they were cleaner than white, they shot more BG than we ever did in the wars. Pot to them was a place to take a crap. A joint to them was a place to get a beer, Did we get a half mast day for them???
Our priorites have just gone totally to hell it seems. nothing today is sacred.
SCREW CHRIS CHRISTIE!!!!
ESPRESSO, be careful, not all small guys are push overs. Some of these little fellows can be quite scrappy & quick...might put some stuff on you Ajax can't get out.:eek:

Was your jacket the only jacket missing out of a bunch? Wonder is some model citizen picked em all up and turned em in to lost and found?
If you want to do a door to door search looking for your jacket, count me in. I'll take point.

That absolutely sucks. What a coward that thief must be. At least the guy who tried to rob me had the balls to come face to face and put a knife to my chest.

I remember when Aaliyah died... she and her entourage browbeat the protesting pilot of their small plane into taking off with too much baggage. Her family and or friends drew outrage when the had a horse-drawn cart/caisson funeral... kind of overdone and a mockery of the solemn procession for military and and high dignitaries. Maybe there will be something like that. Considering the position she had descended to with drug and alcohol addiction... hardly seems fitting.
It's outrageous to fly our National Symbol at half staff for less than the high honor deserved by our military and high dignitaries.

no I checked at the mall office and talked to the security people to. Yes my jacket was the only one. Probably had I had on a Honda jacket they would not have bothered it!!!!:behindsofa::behindsofa:
Bill it only sucks because the jacket had no real value other than to me, more than likely when the a-shole gets home with it and see what he stole and how bad it was, he will sh-tcan it anyway..

I heard today that New Jersey has a history of this kind of thing. They did it for Frank Sinatra and the guy from Springsteen's E-Street band, but I can't remember his name.

Jocko, did you try the lost & found at the mall? A similar thing happened to me. Someone thought that I had forgotten the jacket and turned it in to Mall security. Hey, it's worth a shot.

for a fokking govenor to do this is unbelievable:7: I haveno doubt whenIgo, I expect this forum to at least fly the flag at least 2" from the top, give me alittle honor. I ain't no hero but I never done drugs, so 2" isn't asking to much.
QUESTON: WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO HONER DRUGGIES?? jUST ASKIN.

Chris Christy is a big fiscal conservative, but a little light as a social conservative. He's probably trying to sway the black vote. I personally don't care for him.

agree, not like she died trying to save a 2 year old out in front of a car, still no half mast flag should be flown but lets give her then a hero's honor burial, but not a great singer that degraded herself over drugs to the point of bankruptcy and found dead as hell in a fokking bath tub. Something is really wrong here folks:7:

Jocko,
I am really sorry you lost your jacket. Thieves burn in a special hell as far as i am concerned.
Regarding the flags being flown at half-staff for a drug addict. I am outraged. It diminishes what that custom is meant for. I wonder how many kids will be buried that day who fought in Afghanistan or Iraq who won't receive the same honor.
We're worshiping the wrong people and things in this country.

For those who care..
25 cents rents a locker at most mall. It did for me last Sunday.

our mall does not have that, would be a nice thing if they did... Hell had I had any brains I could have just left it in the car. only a 25 yards walk to the front door. Tpo trusting on my part. I have to take partial blame..

I bet some gang member is showing off his new harley leather jacket right now. He will soon be known on sight by this jacket.:2eek: And flying the flag haft mast for a druggie is a waste of dignity. I didn't think they needed all the dedications at the Grammys either.

gotta blame only one person THOUGH. not the people who live there.

Man that blows big time...I got an old broke down pair of Tony Lama cowboy boots that aren't worth much anymore but they are mine and are like a comfortable old friend to me and if some low life stole them and I found him I would cut both his legs off just below the knee to teach him that was a real bad idea...
I'm sure if you cruse around the local area high schools close to the mall at get out time you will find your jacket...Young people don't think anything at all about stealing anothers property because they aren't brought up to respect anything but the latest greatest rap star...
I agree on the Whitney Houston flag thing, what a crock that is....What do we honor her for, taking the most oxycodone, cocaine and alcohol ever consumed together before by a washed up celebrity before going room temperature? Disgusting...:mad:

Well, look at Great Brittain, who address Elton (que*r as a $3 bill) John as SIR! And they have done that for other rockers of ill repute.
There is no honor left. It is meaningless anymore.
Sorry about your jacket. Look on eBay and see if you can find another one. Do you have lockable saddle bags/boxes on your Harley? Maybe a good place to store it from now on.

Were you implying that us honda riders are so bad ass that they would be afraid to take our jacket.
Sorry about your jacket. Sunday the wife & i saw a harley rider on a hardtail no windsheild 27 degrees wearing a short sleeve orange t shirt no jacket. Thats bad ass or something?
jocko
02-16-2012, 03:27 PM
kahrnut 1, ur probalbya right, u guys r really bad asses.
I will get over the jacket thing, I just hope that someday I will see it on some a-shole, I just hope he is not throwing a leg over some gold winer though 4 the jacket will surely have lost it's sentimental value!!!!

Christie is a RHINO in my opinion that loves media attention......kinda like our old govenor Tim Pawlanty, he didn't raise taxes in his opinion, he just made new fee's on everything to say that he didn't.
The country is going to h*ll on the fast track :mad:
Sorry about the jacket. But I like my "Gold Winer".

Expect a package in the mail soon. Hope you like horses.
Not from me of course but I've received more than my share for sure.
Today has turned into one of THOSE days for me also.
As Yogi Bera so eloquently said "I shoulda stood in bed."
Jocko, hang in there. Something or someone may pop up and just make your day.
