racinfarmer Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Wasn't dark out, so makes you wonder what happened. I've seen plenty of Amish on the roads without any lighting or even reflective tape at night on major highways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted October 29, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 29, 2017 We had a buggy/motorcycle crash here this summer. The guy on the bike pulled out to pass a semi at the same time a buggy tried to cross the road. The biker almost cut the horse in half. His body was found 200 feet from the crash site and the bike 300 feet away. Turned out the bike was stolen a couple of weeks earlier. They estimated his speed to be in excess of 100 mph. The buggies here are usually well lit with LED's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very generous. But I often wonder what they think when we roll through on a Sunday afternoon. The kids will run to the trail and wave.

They make the dumbest exceptions ever There are so many different orders of Amish and Mennonites its hard to keep track of who believes in what. Some have wooden wheeled buggies, but some have steel wheels. Some still stoop hay with horses while others have tractors and then the tractors don't have cabs but then the next farm will have a skidsteer with a cab. There's a group of 3 Mennonite guys who regularly pass my house. They have an aluminum framed buggy with steel wheels. They often are smoking cigars and talking on cell phones. I was buying tools at a hardware store that's owned by Mennonites yesterday and there was a group who came in in a black Dodge pick up truck and they were buying cordless tools. The were smoking colts on the sidewalk out front when I left. Its a cool hardware store these guys run. It caters to contractors and they stock tools that you can't buy off the shelf anywhere else around here. I went to buy a Dewalt cordless SDS Hammerdrill. Closed on Sundays though.....lol I'd like to learn more about their life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see the cab windows fly open pretty quick when they come into view of the roads. They cannot own vehicles, but they can drive vehicles owned by others. Same with power tools. Another sect can have own pretty much whatever they want execpt electronics. All their vehicles are void of radios, yet they'll have GPS on their tractors. The small Amish sect is Old Order, so they are old school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Oh yeah, here's a good fucking idea. Let's take a bunch of kids and put them in a buggy, and we'll ride down a main road. Knowing that about 1/3 of the fucktards operating a motor vehicle on America's roads are impaired to some degree. Yeah, we ain't afraid of a fuckin' 5300 pound Dodge truck rammin' us. No, it's our way of life......................NOT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I kind of agree with Ben? (Could be time to put the beer down?) They like to change their rules a lot . From what I understand ,the elders are allowed to take the teenage girls out for test drives? More sick shit in the name of religion!
