Keep up the good work
Somehow I think you're prone to exaggeration, but whatever trips your trigger.....

Phoenix does stink. Been there once for a week. Have a good friend that lives there. If you're into the MMA...they're very active members. He rides a blue wide glide with a solid metal skull headlight. He's a good size guy. Tough to miss. His g/f is an old friend of mine from my NJ days.

Govt in Australia is encouraging young ones to have as many kids as possible..$6Grand per kid. No incentive to work! Plus Govt hands out fortnightly Big Bucks to keep these individuals. I know of one male who recons bad back! Yet manages to have his partner drop a kid for the Govt handout's...Not Bad eh? Pity for the Hard Working Taxpayers who keep these Lazy bludgers..

These folks were cruising at 40-45mph and when the yellow signs came up on the east end of the run where it suggests 25mph for the turns they weren't even making that. So, we got to a straight-away that is roughly 1/8th mile long in a rolling dip and I took out all 15 of the cages and bikes in front of me. After getting back into my lane before the solid line came back up I slowed down from 127mph and continued to cruise at the 55mph speed limit to the intersection at Smith's Grove. I guess I covered both sides of this in that they got to see a flash go by and I saw 9 idiots blocking all sorts of other vehicles.
And one idiot on a SB Passing 9 smart people
