Enough deer whistles already!!!

[hawg]

Why?

Am I tired of hearing about them? YES But that is not why I am sick of posts about them.

The main reason is because if riders rely on deer whistles, they are placing themselves in danger relying on un-scientific recommendations by the manufacturers, buddies, Dubya, Aunt Martha, Buddha or whoever else!

Folks, deer are unpredictable...live with it!!! I have hit more deer and missed more than most anyone on this board. In no case did those deer give a rat's ass if I was on my LOUD Harley, riding the LT, using whistles or even applying deer urine on the tires!!!

PLEASE do not rely on this crap...motorcycling is dangerous enough without Deer Whistles...Elephant Whistles...Turkey Whistles...Whale Whistles...hell, even ol Parishollow posted a great post about birds whistling in a way that no man can!!!

Come to think of it, if a man can whistle like THAT, maybe it WOULD scare those horned rats!!! Hmmm.....sure would scare me...

[xrmattaz]

But my State Farm insurance agent gives 'em away for free!

I've even got 'em mounted on me bicycles......haven't hit a deer yet!

Now Now ..... Your statement is as laim as having an argument with someone about GOD .... Can they prove God is real, That he works in mystrious ways ?

NO !! they can't ... But because of beleaf and peace of mind that he does, it's good enough. As it should be.

If one feels a $10.00 set of whistles gives them the same peace of mind ... So be it.

IMHO.:crazy:

After my deer wreck one of guys i was riding with bought four leetle whistles for each of us on the ride that day. They work just like those leetle bells some you have. -Chuck-

My God is real and I can prove it,
as a matter of fact everything from creation on proves that he is real.

Can you prove that he is not?

[meese]

If you believe that god created the world, then calling the whole world proof that god exists is merely justifying your foregone conclusions with your own argument.

I have the fastest LT ever. Not one other LT passed me on a recent track day, and I even passed several other bikes, including a K1200S. Therefore my LT is the fastest ever. Never mind that there were no other LT's on the track that day, or that the guy on the S couldn't corner to save his own life. Clearly my LT is the fastest, and I now have hard proof.

You can't prove a belief. Either you believe, or you don't. There is no proof involved at all, just as there is no truth involved.

[SilverBuffalo]

You can't prove a belief. Either you believe, or you don't. There is no proof involved at all, just as there is no truth involved.

So you would have me believe that all of creation is just a coincidence?

[CriticalMass]

"laim"? "mystrious"?

Sorry. those word don't compute.


"beleaf"

Samo, Samo. Doesn't compute.

[CriticalMass]

I'm convinced they don't work.

[rspyder]

Creation is a religious belief and nothing more and backed up by nothing repeatable.

Science states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changes form. The science is backed up by millions of experiments that are repeatable.

[meese]

Actually, I'd have you believe whatever works for you. I'm just asking that you let others do the same, even if it goes against whatever you believe.

Personally, I find that sometimes things happen that we don't understand, and that's often because we aren't in a position to know enough that we can put all the pieces together. That goes for the larger cosmic meanings as well as day-to-day incidences. But they still happen, whether we can figure it out or not.

In my case, I prefer a system that doesn't claim to have all the answers, but is at least willing to look for them over a system that gives us comforting stories that don't seem to bear any relevance to the world we actually live in. Miracles aren't any more real than magic shows, no matter how good the show seems from the audience's perspective. I guess some are content to enjoy the show, trusting that some benevolent stage manager will keep them safe and entertained. And some are inquisitive enough to try and peek behind the curtain, just to see what's there.

I'd rather ask the questions, than take what is handed down from above. If you're comfortable with your beliefs, then so be it. We can all still get along.

Hey, didn't I just read about you in Flame Warriors (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/)? ;)

Hey, at least we're out of the Humor forum. :D

Should we move on to tires?

They work just like those leetle bells some you have. -Chuck-

Want one?:yeah:

[motorhead]

See what I went and did :p Use an icon that many hold sacred only to make a point. It would seem that many don't share that outlook ... So the relation of "What you beleave" either in deer paying attention to whistles or your faith in god are one in the same.

In the end if it gives you a warm fuzzy secure feeling ... Just do it.

Scott

[meese]

Yeah, but it's all those zealots trying to make me put a deer whistle on my bike, and . . .

Oh, never mind. Happy Turkey day. :)

[jersams]

Im confused....I have a bell on my bike and boy does it smooth out the road.....:-P

[messenger13]

One of these days, perhaps someone will make fun of something that you "hold sacred only to make a point" and you'll "GET IT". Or...maybe nothing means that much to you. In that case, I feel very sorry for you.

Oh...and someday you'll kneel before that "icon". Mark my word.

Happy Thanksgiving! But just remember . . . if you're "thankful" . . . don't you have to be thankful TO somebody, not just for some thing?! That's the way I sees it anyway. But, we may disagree on that one also. And that's OK with me too. :cool:

[Lynn_Keen]

OK, OK, enought already. So, what kind of oil should I use in my engine??

I don't believe a word of it, as I'm a God-fearing man. But the fact that Grif gave me both of mine . . . both of my bikes adorn the "little bells of friendship". :)

They don't work. They're supposed to ward off "evil road spirits". Don Arthur had them on his bike. QED. :D

Yep, and Dr. Don is still alive!

[rspyder]

But he was not wearing the bell... the bike was

[bob_menton]

Aha - so the road gremlins that the bell prevents are the ones that will kill you in an accident, NOT the ones that prevent the accident in the first place. Now that makes more sense. :confused: :confused: :confused:
