(...I hope you now realize that you picked the wrong time o' year to boast about all your "freedoms" up there, right?!)





Please. California is a sh!thole and it's only getting worse. I'll take 9 months of snow and 3 months of riding (it's never that bad--at its worst it's 50/50) and loud pipes and the freedom to not wear a helmet even though I do and not have to do any emissions testing to anything I own and clean air and much lower crime over Kalifornia any day. No contest.



Well John, presently being, like yourself, an ex-Californian, I'm not "exactly sure" if one could really say that Yosemite, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Malibu, Laguna Beach, the High Sierras, Mount and Lake Shasta...ummmmm...let's see here, maybe the most beautiful city in all America that goes by the name of San Francisco, and, Monterey Bay/Carmel...ummmmmm...Mendocino, Napa Valley, etc, etc, etc...are (what was that word you used again?...oh yeah) "sh*tholes"!!!

Look John, I think it's juuuuust fine that you seem to enjoy freezin' your "little" tookus off a third of the year up there in sparsely populated Montana, and that you feel that it's all "worth it". But dude, I don't think I'd cast aspersions around like that at another state which still can offer a WHOLE lot of variety AND beautiful places unlike anywhere else on this planet!

(...that IS of course IF casting aspersions is helping you KEEP WARM UP THERE THIS WINTER!!!...yep, I suppose a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do....to keep warm, THAT IS!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
