On ABC national news last night...
they featured a news story about a young man in his twenties who was traveling around America on his motorcycle while "searching for America". (Sounds kinda like "Then came Bronson")
Anyway, he was telling about some of his experiences and how great the adventure had been so far. Lucky Guy, I thought, to do something like that unencumbered by anything. He had sold all his possessions in order to partially fund his trip. He worked along the way for food and gas money.
Great idea, I thought. That's about when they showed his bike. I feel certain it was a Suzuki v-twin. I felt a little let down. Here was this guy searching for America on some jap bike.[:@] It seemed more proper for his butt to have been sitting on American Iron! But, thats just me.

If he was working and paying for gas and food, he couldn't make the payments if he was riding a Harley! Besides since he was riding a Jap bike, if it broke down somewhere he could just push it in the weeds somewhere and leave it, then buy a new one at the next dealership. What's wrong with that, he's just searching for a nice job somewhere in America and saving his money so he can buy a real motorcycle, sounds like a smart guy to me!

He probably has his Jap bike parked next to his Toyota, and just can't understand why the AMERICAN economy is going to hell. Maybe he can get a job at GM.....after the strike and when they declare chapter 11
