Day In The City

Taking the rental car back and stopping by the hot rod shop, rock on and thanks for visiting.

Revolution Or De-evolution?

This is the former American embassy in Iran, note the motorcycles parked out front, these are of early '70's design and most likely come from China. Iran is not capable of designing modern motorcycles yet they need nuclear energy and weapons, only the people suffer riding crap like that.
So for the younger visitors of this blog, history lessons in school leave this part out, but back in 1979 Iranian students who had supported the countries Islamic Revolution stormed our embassy and took 52 staff members hostage(November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981) for a total of 444 days.
After the crisis had ended the walls of the embassy were painted up, as you see here in this picture. Every year the crowds gather for anti-American protests where they stomp our flag, shout death to America and death to Israel. Pictures of President Obama in a workout suit complete with Star of David ear rings was popular this year, as for the first time in years the protest grew in numbers. Yes, the protest that has been happening since the crisis ended has grown in size and one person, an American is to blame. President Barak Obama. You see after this years United Nations gathering our President Obama did something no President since Jimmy Carter had done, and that is to call the President of Iran and to be quite honest I would have to research if Carter ever did make a call. In short the Iranian people did not like the fact their President took a phone call form ours, and they have sent a message to him. Now going back to the motorcycles pictured above, if the people of Iran had access to better bikes and no they do not have to be built there but at least give them modern bikes as so to develop new hobbies they might be less inclined to indulge in hateful behavior. It is an idea that will never happen because it is more important for the government of Iran to feed it's people full of bullshit rather than good times. Remember the Kawasaki saying from the '70's? "Let the good times roll", that will never happen in Iran.
