I gotta laugh at the irony of this guy...

...working for a business called "Confederate".

Seriously, anybody who thinks things haven't changed much in the South...you're high.

Is there somebody saying they haven't? There are PEOPLE who haven't changed. But every place changes over time.

BTW: Not a single battle flag of stars and bars to be seen on the Confederate web site. Backwards ass necks protest trashing of southern "heritage" in 3..2...1.

Actually, Rich, if you knew what you were talking about, then you would know that there MANY blacks who fought on the side of the Confederacy for varied reasons. Some were slaves who identified with their owners, some were free blacks who themselves owned slaves and saw the economic stake they had in a southern slave society.

Also, as SS said, you are mixing two different meanings of the word.

Dont confuse him.

Just let Rich continue on with what he was brainwashed in grade school history books.

Go to college, read a book or two on the subject, and learn what really happen.

Randy Newman - Rednecks

Last night I saw lester maddox on a tv show
With some smart-ass new york jew
And the jew laughed at lester maddox
And the audience laughed at lester maddox too
Well, he may be a fool but hes our fool
If they think theyre better than him theyre wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And thats where I made this song

We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
Were too dumb to make it in no northern town
And were keepin the mvscals down

We got no-necked oilmen from texas
And good ol boys from tennessee
And colleges men from lsu
Went in dumb - come out dumb too
Hustlin round atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin drunk every weekend at the barbecues
And theyre keepin the mvscals down

Were rednecks, rednecks
And we dont know our ass from a hole in the ground
Were rednecks, were rednecks
And were keeping the mvscals down

Now your northern mvscals a negro
You see hes got his dignity
Down here were too ignorant to realize
That the north has set the mvscal free

Yes hes free to be put in a cage
In harlem in new york city
And hes free to be put in a cage in the south-side of chicago
And the west-side
And hes free to be put in a cage in hough in cleveland
And hes free to be put in a cage in east st. louis
And hes free to be put in a cage in fillmore in san francisco
And hes free to be put in a cage in roxbury in boston
Theyre gatherin em up from miles around
Keepin the mvscals down

Were rednecks, rednecks
And we dont know our ass from a hole in the ground
Were rednecks, were rednecks
And were keeping the mvscals down

Hey, I think it's pretty damned cool that the guy does what he does. I've seen pictures of some of their rigs elsewhere and he does nice work. I just see the humor in the situation, OK? Relax.

Weird. The old guy with the still camera in the top picture is a buddy of mine.

Comical bikes though, and in the end that's what this is all about, supposedly, right?

The notion of paying $50k or $60K to maintain a "cruiser" look while pretending to also have a "sporty" ride (replete with high end "sportbike" components like upside down Ceriani forks, White Power suspension ~even more 'Neck irony, eh?~, Works Performance suspension, six piston brake calipers, etc)...

Comical. Now, with this deal, we're taking The Poser Factor to new and staggering heights: I'm not ONLY a badass weekend warrior, one with loads of disposable income, natch, but check me out! In addition to being a 1 Percenter (as far you know, anyway) I'm also a HELLCAT with a Real Man's fast bike, too!

They should just cut to the chase and call it what it is:

The Zyclone!!

If ever a bike had a perfect demographic, there it is....The Zyclone. In fact, instead of a free de riguer Nazi beanie helmet they ought to just throw in a litter of pitbulls and a gift certificate good for one free tat down at Filthy Joe's Me Too Circus Of Body Art & Artistic Hepatitis...

You know, I've been thinking about this very subject as of late. Confederate are BY FAR the coolest bikes made. I think I would like to have one, but the sticker price makes it a bit prohibitive at this time.

But of course...

For your next trick how about you go ahead and post us all the receipts from your dinners at your favorite expensive restaurant...

Maybe some pics of a boat or two?

$60K, to go slow and make a lot of noise while you enjoy having no available service or resale value and no dealer network.

Perfect. The perfect Douche Bike. It's all you, Dins.

SS, yes, I've seen the bikes. I work the dealer shows every year and more often than not Confederate has their little display.

Hottest paid ho's, every year. Bar none. Man, they hire great looking hookers to lure the drooling punters...

The bikes? Pretty, in a Herman Munster During His Beavis & Butthead adolescent stage. Nice components, usually, though the way they're cobbled together is very "back yard mechanic". The welds are nice, the fit and finish is decent enough too.

The bikes are simply not very well integrated. They're put together, piece meal, trying to match one pretty component/idea with another. Doesn't matter if they won't actually mesh well together; they're pretty, and they're vaguely bitchin', and blockheads like Dins are attracted to such skin deep fluff.

Good job, if you can get it, I guess.
