Nothing says " I'm a flaming pole smoker " like a purple bike and the boots

Odessa made me think of New Orleans.
And that chick sure did know she was being filmed, didn't she? Must've had connections just to be there.

We bailed out in '77 and after few months in Italy, came here in '78. I was 15.
At the time, Odessa was gangster paradise. Big sea port with all kinds of contraband getting smuggled in and out. Tourist resort with awesome beaches and climate similar to the Carolinas or Nor Cal, but the sea was much warmer than the Ocean and we were able to swim mid May to October.
Lots of international tourists, but they were pretty well protected/followed by the cops.
It was also a big college/university town with quite of few exchange students from China, Vietnam and all the African countries that Communist Russia supported. Rich kids of the foreign commie big shots and diplomats. They were easy pickin's

Maybe the guy has taken his motorcycle course, obtained his endorsement and has finally reached a level in his life where he can afford what he's always wanted, possibly even saved enough to avoid the finance charges. Maybe he didn't have any gear, because he's never had a bike. Maybe he can finally live the dream and be able to ride down the road with the biggest grin on his face he's ever had.
Evidently this guy has joined the very crowd Frenchman preaches about. I jumped the gun a bit with my post. I don't claim to be a biker, like those mentioned, those that do deserve respect and the tag of "biker". I just ride a Harley; it's my fourth, if you count my Buell. Before that it was Hondas and Yamahas. And yeah, my office is a cubicle in a high rise. But for a brief moment most every day, I get to live in another world that exists when I climb on the back of my Harley.

I agree with ya. What the heck is wrong with working for a living to get what you want. Last I looked this is America and freedom still reigns. There is plenty of room for all riders having a good time. If it bothers you then move to Germany! We are a Capitalist country here and hopefully will stay one. Just my 2 cents at least...
