RE: California Rant!!!!
I'm happy to see so many of you don't like California. Stay out. More road for me..
Only 8 days of no riding here so far in the last 6 months, due to rain. I'm one hour from the beach, one hour from the mountains, and one hour from the deserts. I can ride any type of road I choose on any given day. Today is going to be in the high 60's...wifey and I are going to lunch, ON THE HARLEY!
So for those of you that hate California
Ride safe...after the snow melts

RE: California Rant!!!!
I have lived in quite a few different States in my life and I travel all around the country for my gig. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else besides California. Everyone who bashes it has most likely never even been here.
If you don't like it get the hell out, you can talk about any State in the Union and there's something f**ked up about it.
As for all you ranters, stay out and we'll enjoy the sweet year round riding and good hangs all by ourselves.

Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
Certainly hope we will. I sure could use a vacation from this...
Bullsh*t three ring circus side show of... Freaks! - Here in this hopeless f*cking hole we call LA
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away. Any f*cking time. Any f*cking day.
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona bay.
Fret for your figure and
Fret for your latte and
Fret for your lawsuit and
Fret for your hairpiece and
Fret for your prozac and
Fret for your pilot and
Fret for your contract and
Fret for your car. - It's a

Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipsh*ts.
And some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon.
Certainly hope we will... I sure could use a vacation from this...
...Stupid sh*t, silly sh*t, stupid sh*t...
One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.
Learn to swim. Learn to swim. Learn to swim.
Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to beeeeeeee.......

I feel your pain, as suggested above I would go with a Mccuff, or better yet move to Georgia every one else is.

RE: California Rant!!!!
It's got it's negatives, but I've been here for 24 years and must say the weather in San Diego has got to rank among the best on earth. With 20-40% humidity there are few bugs, temps of course very moderate and sun 90%+ of the year.
The gas pumps are a PIA but with a little practice I never spill a drop and get it right to the rim on fill-ups.

RE: California Rant!!!!
Born and raised here in California, my wife and I live blocks from the neighborhoods we grew up in. We're now in our early 50's.For most of the reasons statedin this thread we want to get out of here and move to a different state, but don't know where for sure.
We have been looking for about 3 years and still haven't found a good alternative because we're learning that California is hard to beat.South Carolina is on top of our list so far but we're not completely sold on it yet. Got to get the kids through college (2) and then we'll make our movemaybe, possibly, perhaps. if.......
