This all starts from 4six guys flamming the the 5.4L - The 5.4L's are easy to defend.

You don't have to rev the 5.4L to make power - It startes above idle - Don't get your 4six flashbacks confused with a real motor.

Maybe if they weren't all made in Canada, they wouldn't be such lumps of crap. If it comes out of Canada, you already know it's s^^t, don't matter what it is! hehehe

You guys had to paint over the burn and charred parts! LOL!

You are talking about The War of 1812.
Written by the victors? As in Canada? LOL! The only victory you guys had was avoiding our invasion. And Canada wasn't even doing any of the fighting! We were at war with the British! The country "Canada" didn't even exist yet! All you guys were was a few ******* British Colonies at the time. We were at war with the British Army and Navy, not Canada.
And btw, it was British troops who burned the White House, no canooks were present. And that wasn't the reason why we call it "The White House" either, they started calling it that 3 years before those British bastads lit a match. And the Brits didn't "push us back all the way to the White House" either. The British had a VASTLY superior navy compared to the US. They raided the port at Washington DC and set the fires while they were there.
You guys weren't even a fricken country for like 60 some-odd more years after that war. Ya'll were nothing more than little pansy British colonies at the time. It was the British army that defended the colonies, it's not like you guys did squat. In fact, if it wasn't for the Brit's, you would be flying the Stars and Bars.
And you didn't win either, not that you all actually fought anything, but it actually ended in a stalemate between the US and BRITAIN.
I guess history is written by the victors, but it doesn't even matter because Canadians don't know anything about it anyway. The biggest war Canada has ever been in is which language to speak. Oh wait, I take that back. You guys sent frozen fish in WWI or something.
PS..... 5.4's still suck! LOL

Now he has brain damage and almost no short-term memory.
They are suicide machines. It doesn't matter how good of a rider you are. It's that idiot in the 2-3 ton car/tank slamming into you, or running you over at highway speeds, that you have to worry about. Think of the accidents you've had, or accidents your friends have had in a car or truck. Now think that if you had been on a bike, you may very well have been killed.

Umm, dont you mean the Stars and Stripes? We settled that little issue about the Stars and Bars about 50 or so years later
BTW, when are we going to annex the highway that we built to Alaska, so I can drive to the rest of the states without having to UPS my firearms to myself, and pay exorbitant taxes?
