Default EPA enforcement

So every Saturday San Diego Harley has a free lunch for anyone who wants to stop buy. While hanging out there eating my burger, I over heard on of the employees say that the EPA had come in not to long ago and they got in a bit of trouble. Seems that the EPA has shut down there installation of aftermarked pipes, and doing any kind of engine modifications.... As I any pretty much everyone knows that this kind of thing was coming, its still sad to hear.

California sucks
I dont care...going on a tangent
Its over populated, with tons of illegals
Some of its cities have nothing but iron bars on the doors and windows
Crime is insane in California.. u dont hear even 10% of what happens there
Its smoggy as hell.. rarely when the Santa Anna winds blow does it become clear
Its agenda is ****ing lame....EPA standards.. bullshit.. cat-converters ..what a joke, California to get anywhere u need a car its a f'n desert(southern california)
Only reason it allows Lane Spliting is because of the rich *** rubs(movie stars as well) who dont wanna sit in 6 lanes of traffic.. not because of you
So what if its home to 99% of the worlds **** stars
or Disneyland
or Kings Canyon
or some of the (past tense) nicest beachs

Yep, CA was quite the place to be in the 1960's maybe even the 1970's. But its not so much fun anymore.

I hate that DAMN state!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing good comes out of that state. Unfortunately, most of the EPA bullshit flows east to everyone else.

They are so paranoid about pollution, yet don't give a crap about fuel economy.
