Politics and Christianity: Trading In The RV For A Harley Davidson

Over the last few days I have been having discussions with friends who are headed out on a trip to the Dakota's in their recreational vehicle. I have teased them about having an experience like that of Robin Williams in the movie RV. The truth is that I am jealous of the fact that they are taking off and getting away for a few weeks.

Even though I admit to being a bit envious (forgive me, Lord) I don't think my heart could take the strain of buying gas for one of those rolling monsters. Every time we pulled in and filled the tank I think I would need someone standing by with a defibrillator to zap me.

When I take a vacation I want something to start my heart, not stop it. So, in my fantasy vacation world I am riding a Harley Davidson... hair blowing in the wind... bugs in my teeth... heart pounding, blood pumping ... the vibrations of the hog as we travel through the prairies, over mountains, across rivers...

However, given that I am seven months pregnant that isn't going to happen; at least not for me. It could happen for you. If that sounds good you might want to check out EagleRider. EagleRider Rentals & Tours pioneered the Harley-Davidson motorcycle rental concept and today they are the world's largest motorcycle tourism company. In addition to rentals, and guided & self-drive tours, they have big-time discounts on motorcycles going one way to specific locations (they appear to run about the same price you would expect to pay for a mid-range car rental).

Just do me one favor. If you end up touring on a Harley with EagleRider, please don't send me any pictures or postcards. The jealousy just might kill me, and I've got a baby to think about.

Comment Policy

1. Speak the truth in love
Comments containing untruths and misrepresentations will be deleted unless we think it more important that they be corrected by dialogue with other readers of Politics and Christianity.

Truth is not always pretty, and attempts to clarify can sometimes be cutting (e.g. satire, irony, etc.). However, every attempt should be made to keep comments within the bounds of Christian civility.

2. Don't use words that your Momma wouldn't like
Comments with abusive, blasphemous, coarse, crude, dirty, disrespectful, filthy, foul, godless, impious, impure, indecent, irreverent, nasty, obscene, profane, raunchy, sacrilegious, smutty, or vulgar language will be deleted post-haste. Euphemisms and abbreviations of an ungodly nature are included in the preceding list.

3. Stay on-topic
What you are saying may be very interesting, but it will probably be deleted if it does not relate to the post on which it is appended.

4. No drive-bys
Comments that appear to be cut-and-paste propaganda, rather than attempts to dialogue, will be deleted.

5. Don't assume too much
Sometimes we will respond to your comment and other times we will not; so, (a) do not think we are uninterested in what you have to say if we do not respond, and (b) do not assume that we agree with someone just because we do not respond, -- we actively practice both Proverbs 26:4 and Proverbs 26:5.

6. Publish your ideas instead
If you have more than a few paragraphs to share on a topic, consider submitting it to the editors of Politics and Christianity for publication as a separate article, rather than as a comment. You can submit articles for consideration to editor@politicsandchristianity.com.

7. You retort, we decide
There is no board of arbitration on the issues cited above. The editors of Politics and Christianity are the final authority on what appears here.
