Even Dianne Feinstein?????? LOL

Most of these yahoos get their image of California from the intellectual giants at Fox News and have never set foot here. Funny thing is, Californians don't obsess about any other states like many do ours. We have no reason to be that bitter.

We don't ride in stacks in narrow lanes or when we get into the twisties, though. That's just asking for trouble.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe in the state of California, you are not allowed to ride tandem. You can ride in groups, but you need to be in staggered formation.

Yeah, I see cops doing it all the time as well. I see them do a lot of stuff that civilians would get cited for. All the runs I have been on so far, the formations have always been staggered. Good to know though.

I obsess about other states on a daily basis.....The only thing california has going for it is weather and lane splitting.

It isnt the dream boat place to live like everyone thinks....With the pollution, illegal immigrants running around everywhere with no one doing anything about it, the retarded gun laws, the corrupt politics, and the business killing tactics I really dont know if this is a place where I want to raise my coming child.

The only thing keeping me here is family......
