I live on a country road where bikers love to parade their hilarious big iron, idiotic and illegal exhaust noise, and horrific sound systems. Winter gives us a break from that bullshit, but winter gets old after 5-7 months. Our cops are too lazy, cowardly, and corrupt to ticket actual lawbreakers. So all summer I contemplate moving to somewhere laws are enforced on white people as aggressively as they are on everyone else. T.W.

You say your town is a magnet for Hardly Ablesons because of wide streets and straight roads. Our town is a motorcyclist magnet because it's on a 200 km loop of really twisty narrow roads. Even the H-D's are happy to give it a go, notwithstanding that they normally hold up every other bike on the road. It's not really the fault of H-D's. The manufacturer is catering for the extreme left hand end of the human intellect bell curve, much like auto manufacturers with big pickups and gun racks. I love living on a remote island in the South Pacific ;-) .Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.com
