Well, at least we all learned about road kill wok cookbook. And we did have a good time waiting for him to say no word in eight weeks after sending cash to China HAHA. Send me a money order for $8,000. and I'll ship you a new Electra glide HAHAHA

Here's the deal. Anyone that wants to find out if this is real can send me your money, and I'll order something. Of course, if its real and the product is good I'll keep whatever I order. If it's a sham then I'm not out any money. Is this acceptable to everyone?

The link for Davidjacket is no longer working. I guess that's a hint...lol. I bought a First Manufacturing Gunpox jacket with hood for $250 plus tax today at my local bike shop. Love a sure thing.

I was in rural China about 30 miles North of the Chinese border with Vietnam back in the mid 1980's. I visited a farming commune where 150,000 people lived. Trust me...they eat anything that moves out there. It was routine for them to go through my luggage in my hotel room while I was away during the day and confiscate my 35mm film. It took 24 hours to get a phone call to the US "approved". Things sure have changed in the urban areas but rural China has been that way for thousands of years.

I hunt and eat racoon. My youngest daughter and I love to hunt squirrel, rabbit, racoon, groundhog (young ones), frogs, turtles, crawdads, etc.
In my small community many folk do the same thing. Go to the nearby city and they find it quite odd and won't even give it a try. Most of it, in fact, DOES taste like chicken and is probably healthier than the crap you buy in the meat aisle of your local supermarket.
Cat and dog, never had it, but it doesn't bother me since that is their culture.

in the market for a new jacket to replace my 30yr old Brooks jacket, think I'll be going with a Fox Creek vented racing jacket. Made in the USA and doesn't leave me looking like a rolling billboard for HD.
