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.
He did save us from Davis, but I think that people thought that because he played a man in the movies he actually had a pair. He does! But they are in a jar that his wife keeps in the Kennedy family vault.

Incidentally I've owned a mccuff for a bit and no matter what, i gotta tellya, it really does work.

Not just with those black boot nozzles in Cali though, I ride to Nevada, AZ and Idaho and this thing works even when there is no black boot nozzle. On regular nozzles it works too. You don't have to suspend the pump in midair and no splashing and stuff.

Good produce, thanks I appreciate it very much.

WTF is up with these gas pumps out here im so sick of these crap pumps with the safety foreskin deal around it you have to pull back to get the damn pump to function. if you shove the damn thing in it wont fill you up all the way and if you hold the freakin rubber back to engage the safety and top off most the time end up splashn all over the damn tank! ....ive been here 3 damn months and besides the weather and some of the riding i havent found one damn thing i really like... even hate my job... these people out here are rediculous! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH![:@]
LMAO!!!
Baxter...I'm not from here either & feel the same way about the gas...but if you REALLY wanna bake your noodle....go buy a gas can! They have these funky pull down spouts...to prevent you from having an environmental issue....the thing is...it's safer to take the $#@! thing off and just pour the (too damned expensive!) gas out! But I do have to admit the sun, and the riding are GREAT!

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]
I saw a cloud in the blue sunny sky today. Almost had to put on a sweater.

Well, Mine didn't work. I couldn't see inside the tank while using it, and then I ended up spilling more gas than if I had just pulled back the boot. And just to let you know, the only people here who call this place "Cali" are the people who live in the San Francisco bay area.

That's right, who started this "Cali" crap? Nobody here calls it that.

LL Cool J "Goin back to Cali" early 90s. And people call it that when it's getting ripped on by snow covered East Coast and Midwest people that are rotting from the inside with jealousy.
