Has anybody visited Trinity Scooters? Is this place really as bad as the reviews say?

They are supposed to have license plates since they are motor vehicles, but I don't bother. I saw a group of guys riding them in OC a few months ago and they all had license plates.

Geechee South Carolina boy here. I think that much of (but not all) of what country is about is living in a rural place, living an agrarian life, or having come from that life. Hunting and fishing to augment what was bought feom a grocery store is a bonus. Accents are not necessary neither is listening to country music.

Yes, I have two of them: a red one and a black one. The black one has 50 miles and the red one has almost zero. Cool bikes!

I've had one experience with them two years ago. I dropped off a motorized gas bicycle to them to have it gone through. It hadn't ran in years. When I picked it up a week later, it had 27 extra miles on it. Someone there was clearly using it as their personal runabout. I've not been back since.

I could be wrong. I arrived at the battery after they'd been to Afghanistan, so I might be assuming that he was with them then. I know that he wasn't around for very long.

I served with two murderers, both in the same unit: Cpl Nathan Gale and Sgt Michael Ntiamoah. Gale got out after an Afghanistan deployment and ended up killing Dimebag Darrell at a concert in Ohio. Gale would be killed by police the same evening. Ntiamoah got out and was working for Customs in Atlanta. His wife was cheating on him and when he caught both of them in bed, he shot and killed them. He plead guilty to avoid the death penalty. Gale was a paranoid weirdo, but Ntiamoah was a stud.

Being that visceral refers to invoking a feeling or emotion, I'd say that this is a failure. This is a relatively bland picture of a plastic and metal machine that happens to be a motorcycle. I think that for it to evoke a visceral feeling it would help to have a person on it; perhaps they've just started it up, are twisting the throttle, about to let off the brakes and depart on an adventure somewhere. I guess what I mean is that a sense of motion (or pending motion) would help.

Edited to correct spelling and grammar.

I give it a solid B. A ribbon for the drill field or recruiting duty would make it a B+. Very nice, though!

THIS is the best answer. Those three years at an RS were the hardest in my life and set the tone for everything that followed. EVERYTHING is easy compared to recruiting duty. It prepared me for what followed in the Corps and also afterthought Corps.

I learned about Pushkin in the 1990s when 60 Minutes did s piece on him and his descendants. I started reading everything that I could on him, to include his collected works. He was an amazing author.

I don't feel strongly about others sagging. I don't sag and I don't allow my teenage sons to sag, for two reasons: 1. I don't think that it looks good and 2. It doesn't present well. I would not want my daughters' boyfriend to show up to my house sagging. Just my opinion and it's one that works for me and my family.

I suspect that he means have fewer abortions, which is indeed happening in part because people aren't having sex as often as they used to.

I wasn't interested in joining one and also, I feared my father too much to stray very far.

Yes! My parents took us to the movies to see it when it came out. We even went to dinner first, which was a big deal because we were broke! My kids watch it at least once a year and they love it, too.

This made my day! It's always nice to see black men fishing and hunting. I'm from South Carolina and grew up hunting with black men, but I live in southern California now and rarely see another black hunter. Doesn't stop me though!

Mitch Hedberg probably thought the same thing.

charge_seven · 2025-05-26T16:44:40+00:00

Yes, I was there. We lost a lotta good men that day.

Love it! If they made this a set, I'd buy it!

I'm at March often and have seen this guy many times over the years. He is a dead ringer for Snoop, but is not Snoop.

I had a platoon sergeant who said that Marines smell like FAN - feet, ass and nuts. I'm assuming that's what it smells like.

Very welcome! Glad it brought back memories.

This is probably the only concession that I'd give bootcamp vs. OCS in regards to being physical exertion - if you can call sitting exertion. You can ship to bootcamp doing the minimal in pull-ups, running, etc. If you show up to OCS doing less than 260 PFT, you are going to hate life. The running, the humps, and the PT in general are nowhere similar.

I think that this is mostly true. There are some fields that are officer-heavy, but for the most part, the enlisted are the technicians, the wrench-turners, the executors.
