Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?" But the initials
really stand for "What would Jesus drive?"
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth because "the
Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury."
But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage
urges the Lord to "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them
with your Storm."
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned
not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast."
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about
it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel where Christ tells the
crowd, "For I did not speak of my own Accord..."
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible
passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills."
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler... "Joshua's
Triumph was heard throughout the land."
And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda....
"The Apostles were in one Accord!"

Jesus' father wouldn't buy him a car and so he walked everywhere he
went....and so will you if you don't cut that hair and pull those darn
britches up! :) --- (old joke)
Therefore......
Jesus RIDES!
Saw a t-shirt in Spencer's Gifts that showed Jesus riding a chopper and
the caption "Jesus Rides"....couldn't find it on the net but found
these.
http://www.jezusrides.com/MainFrame.html
HE WAS A LOT LIKE YOU AND ME.
THE GOVERNMENT DIDN'T LIKE HIM.
THE CHURCH THOUGHT HE WAS WEIRD.
HIS FRIENDS WERE FEW. WHAT FRIENDS HE
HAD DENIED HIM. HE WAS PERSECUTED BY
HYPOCRITES. HE HUNG AROUND PEOPLE LIKE
YOU AND ME, NOT THE GOODY-TWO-SHOES
PHARISEES.
YES, IF JESUS WERE ON THIS EARTH
IN THE FLESH, HE WOULD BE
NEXT TO YOU ON HIS
MOTORCYCLE TELLING YOU
HE LOVED YOU=85
ENOUGH TO DIE
FOR YOU.

He'd drive some else's *****. Sometimes he'd ride two asses at once.
From the Bible:
The Two Asses of Zechariah 9:9 in Matthew 21
David INSTONE-BREWER (Tyndale House, Cambridge)
Matthew appears to depart from the Synoptics, Johannine tradition and
from common sense when he gives Jesus two asses to ride on for his
grand entrance into Jerusalem. Most commentators have assumed that
Matthew misunderstood the meaning of the parallelism in Zechariah 9:9,
which caused him to create another animal to enable Jesus to fulfil
the prophecy. It will be suggested here that Matthew understood the
concept of parallelism, but that he did not believe that Scripture
should be interpreted in that way. This is in line with rabbinic
thought of the first century which rejected the concept of parallelism
in Scripture.

Did you know that the bible says some guy tied his ***** to a tree and walked

Get a life. Harleys are good low-revving high torque machines for converting
fuel into noise and pulling out tree stumps, but the cheapest Jap stock bike
would ***** all over it for response and performance. Harley's are well made
and long lasting but look incredibly stupid (like a wurlitzer jukebox on
wheels), don't go very fast and make an awful racket. BMWs beat them on
reliability and build quality, Japanese manufacturers beat them on
performance and handling, and the Italians have the market cornered when it
comes to style and speed..
How many Harleys compete in real bike racing? How many races have they won?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

A Harley. It's been said that His Dad rides one.
Come on Boat anchors are one thing but we all know that for sheer
power a Suzuki etc, just streets ahead besides a BMW has all the looks
and handling.

Seen Prostock Bike lately? Vance and Hines are running a Harley that's
turning in 7.15 second runs on a regular
basis. So much for the untouchable Rice Rockets.
Get a life. Harleys are good low-revving high torque machines for converting
fuel into noise and pulling out tree stumps, but the cheapest Jap stock bike
would ***** all over it for response and performance. Harley's are well made
and long lasting but look incredibly stupid (like a wurlitzer jukebox on
wheels), don't go very fast and make an awful racket. BMWs beat them on
reliability and build quality, Japanese manufacturers beat them on
performance and handling, and the Italians have the market cornered when it
comes to style and speed..
That was the 1942 model, do you remember their foray into smaller
machines a 350 with a macchi engine, anyway over here we call Harley's
chrome Southern Cross motors, or as my mate in the MRA says they are
ok if you like riding slow and paying a lot of money.
How many Harleys compete in real bike racing? How many races have they won?
Yes that would be interesting but the cars are much the same, do not
see US vehicles taking out a Paris Dakar either.
Image, Harley used to represent an "escape machine" now it is a
pointer to a Yuppie!

Well how fast do you think we are suppose to ride in the states? The max
speed on the interstate is 70 mph.
Mine can go a lot faster than that but for what? A ticket? Jail? I see
the news every day where some guy has killed himself here on a
crotch-rocket. They drive them like bats out of hell in residential
neighborhoods and on the freeways. They just don't know how to handle
them. Foolish.
To each their own, I suppose. I'm sure happy with mine. I'd never call
it slow either.
