Re: Hometown fun
(1) Place of birth: Los Angeles, California
(2) Where I've lived the longest: It's a toss up between Glendale, California (9 years, I moved away from there a year ago), and Montreal, Canada (9 years, as well).
(3) My hometown and why: Glendale, Calif.. It's where my friends and family are, for the most part.
(4) Most unusual place I've lived: Montreal, just on the basis that you expect them to speak English because we're in North America, but they don't, lol.
(5) Where I'd live if I could live anywhere: Osaka, Japan, don't ask why, lol. Though, I wouldn't mind Orlando (though the summer humidity might just do me in :p :) .

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Hometown fun
For some reason Harley Guys don't trust their Milwaukee Vibrators. Because of this lack of trust they must start them up at all hours of the day and night to insure they operate properly. These test usually consist of static high revving of the engine, hard acceleration runs up and down the street, and if there are multiple Harley Guys performing the tests, lots of laughing, yelling and swearing. The testing is usually preceded by the consumption of large quantities of beer. The containers will be deposited hither and yon.Cranbiz wrote:And the problem with that is???????????
These continual tests are understandable as the manufacturer operates under a policy of, "If it sticks out, chrome it, if it breaks, make it heavier."

Re: Hometown fun
And this is a bad thing?
Yes, I do fire it up at all hours of the early morning. Of course, I'm either going to work at the Giant Rodent or coming home from there. At 98 miles round trip, you can be sure that 2 wheels makes it affordable to work as a CM.
