How many of that are sleeper cells spreading Covid from the Sturgis rally?
The border is a barrier for most, but we've recently opened it to Americans. Sturgis would be a long ride to southern Ontario and I don`t imagine many attended both events. Unlike Sturgis, most of these people were probably fully vaxxed, but not wearing masks.

my Rd400 was like a museum piece

I would ride up at bike gatherings and people would ask if I restored it myself and I would tell them it's not restored, it's all original
I had an RD200. The previous owner had left the road on it and got killed. The damn thing was lethal, it had 23HP and was light as a feather. It would pull 14,000 RPM! After spending 6 months making it beautiful, spraying it in black Metalflake and redoing all logos in actual gold leaf, I wrote it off, and had to go to hospital. I was done with bikes after that.

Bud seems like a pilsner or I don't know, but it's a copy of pseudo German beer. I mean "'weiser??" So seems logical.
Also tourists, Americans probably find comfort in something familiar.
When I was in Israel I tried some beers. Heineken was popular...others, iffy at best. Was down in Eilat and a bar had Guinness on tap. Salvation.
Budweiser's claim to fame was that in the 60's/70's it, along with Pabst Blue Ribbon/Miller Highllife/Schaefer (if in NY) or Coors on the West coast, it was mass produced/heavily marketed, and avaliable everywhere.
You walk into a Deli, those beers were all they had (maybe Heineken) in the cooler.
So, it really was one shit beer vs another shit beer to prove who was the less shity beer.
They all sucked in my opinion, with Schaefer being maybe the worst beer that I ever drank (Puerto Ricans' loved it) in my lfe. It had to be drank at 33 degrees, 1 degree above freezing so that your taste buds go into shock & you can't taste it. (I kid you not)
Next up the shit list was Coors, whose ad's stressed it was made with "Rockey mountain Spring water", which I personally couldnt give 2 shits about, how does it taste?
Like water mixed some beer to me. Too light, no hops.
Next is Miller High Life, whose marketing shtick was calling that urine "the Champaign of Bottled Beer". Still sucked.
But 2nd place in the worst beer battle, after Schaefer, is Budweiser in my highly-qualified opinion :)
I think it's more Lager than Pilsner @Don't Bogart personally, but I can't fucking stand it.
Too many nights puking that shit out of my body & too many mornings waking up with my head exploding (my body was warning me) when I was 16/17/18 (then I got wise & drank Becks :) )
But my go too beer in college & one of the main reasons, along with some speed/LSD/Marijuana, that I didn't graduate( :( ) was the one and only,
Pabst Blue Ribbon, or PBA's for short.
Man, I loved that beer (with a shot of José Cuervo) :)
A nice Lager like beer, not too light (I hate that) and not heavy at all.
Yea, that's my list and opinion on the most popular beers in America, next to that total abomination, a "Lite" beer.
Thank God with all the new "Craft" beers (Try Two Roads if you can find it, it's made right down the road from me) we finally have some good beers readily available here & that is very nice, indeed.

Popping in to say hi, it's been a little bit since I've checked in here. Hope everyone has been staying healthy and doing good

I'm out of work for today and no work tomorrow, real happy about it. I'm going to take my mountain bike in my truck and head in to downtown Grand Rapids tonight. I'll show you all some pictures of the city at night time.

I am so happy to have some free time for once, this is the first time all summer that I've actually had enough time to go ride my mountain bike

Well I just found out my Buddy Al passed away this afternoon on Friday the 13th, after a struggle with cancer. I'm grieving, RIP Alistair Russell, he was a good man and a good friend. I was down to see him this morning, but he was unconscious and sedated, I left his daughter a hundred bucks or so to defray expenses and for flowers etc.

Tonight I feel like shit.
Holy crap, sorry for your loss

So, for anyone thinking of buying one of those "things", this is glimpse of your future.

Good for Bud. You hate it. I hate it. Tell me I'm wrong.

Bud cheaped out by using rice instead of all malts. it "shouldn't" be sold in germany since it violates the german purity law but it is.

but i will give them credit, they have breweries all over the US and they can make the taste of Bud consistent no matter where it's brewed which is not easy to do.
