How do you think we ended up with Arnold?
True. What makes me wonder, is why nothing seems to have changed, at least from a faraway point of view. [sm=confused06.gif]
Perhaps I built excessive expectations from this election, and so I was disappointed, but from what I see on bike, car and gun forums seems the music is pretty much the same there... I'd like a "resident" point of view on the subject, really.

One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

Thank you, Allen Ginsberg for that pseudo-existential and typically unintelligible rant. Time to retreat now to your dormer to scribble some more...

No! WE don't need anymore Calfornians up here. They be the worse rascist folk I know, plus damn near all of them can't speak english.

Hate Spanish.

BTW it was I5 not 101.

Hmmm, let's see. I'm Hispanic. I'm not racist nor predjudice....I hate everyone equally.

It's not an Academy Award winner, but try watching 'A Day Without A Mexican'. You'll realise how much certain ethnic people help keep this country functioning. Yes the illegals are an issue, but the legal ones aren't hurting anyone.

(Can't wait to see the responses on this one.)
I don't have a problem with English speaking American hispanic people, hell half my family is hispanic. I am 1/4 Native American Indian (Sioux). I have a problem with Mexicans (Or any other non-American) living in the US and Illegals. Either your an American or not (I don't care what nationality you are), period. If not, quit your b!tching and get the f*ck out! And Speak English Dammit!

But we degress.

It must be winter everywhere else. Winter rage on a motorcycle site. Oh well, I'm going riding tonight with my wife. In January. Imagine that. And as far as the gas pump is concerned the problem is the operator, not the equitpment. Let me say it again...Oh well, I'm going riding tonight with my wife.
Yeah imagine that riding in the middle of winter. That has got to be all bad. Fugg Kalifornia..... You are all correct don't move here (thhat should keep the canyons around here clear) With that said I am going for a ride. Enjoy winter and the snow guys...

BTW I grew up in Chicago and there is only one word for that weather "$hi77y"

Metalspike, chill bro, just pick up the handle, take two of the towels in the box to your right, place 'em around the rubber nozzle gasket, pull back a half inch and start pumping while looking into your tank. When the gas hits the nozzle, the flow will stop and you can squeeze a few short ones off until the gas touches the bottom of the vent opening. You've got to understand, the Indians called SoCal the "Land of yellow smoke". We live in an area with a natural inversion layer - it traps all the pollutants we put into the atmosphere. We get an average of 5000 miles less out of a set of tires due to the high concentrations of ozone. The state has 38 million people living here, more than all of Canada, and when we all light up together it's quite a stink! So we're looking for a few ways to make it better for everybody, especially the very young and very old who are more succeptible to breathing problems. The vapor recovery systems on our gas pumps are a very small inconvenience that does everyone a service. And I don't know about you, but I hope to be a very old Harley rider someday!

Kolni, you must stop.

It's notright totry to help someone with an issue when you can simply start a flame war over a man's venting. [sm=lildevil.gif]

Uhhhhh...isn't Arnie a Republican?? If Caleefornyuh is so full of left wing radicals and old hippies, how did he get elected?? As I'm standing at the pump here in Edmonton filling my truck, and it is -35, my heart will be bleeding purple pizz for you that you have to pull back a rubber safety cover a bit, to fill your HOG, so you can go for a ride. Some people have it rough! [&o]

OK, first, seems your rant was a bit bit more than your inability to put gas in your bike without splashing it all over, ( you do have to be smarter than the inanimate device your trying to use ) second, your rant slamed the entire state for a number of reasons, some of which may be valid, some of which may be just your opinion, which we are all entiteld to.

However, if you dislike this state so much that you feel the need to go off on such a rant due to your inability to use a gas pump in a proper mannner, please, feel free to GTFO.

Do I like everything about this state? Hell no! But at least I can gas up my bike without washing it in gas. And, if I feel the need to rant about how bad it is, then I have the intelligence to also feel the need to get out of the state and go somewhere else where I can exist without having to P & M about everything about the state I live in.

Seems simple enough to me.

But then again, I'm just an old geezer, what do I know?
