You've obviously not been to the States and ridden there. They have roads that shame ours.

yup. Next time I go back, I want to ride through the rockies, their roads are so nice and smooth, none of this half assed, spot repair, goat track shit like we have, lovely smooth, rolling windy roads.

Ya gotta admit, them mutha fuckas can wheelie like fuck yo.

Looks like they stole some pretty cool dirt squirters.

What makes you think they're stolen?

That's a lot of money and obviously still not enough. Yes they have some nice roads. But man they also have loads of some real shit ones.
Just come back from a road trip over there. I couldn't believe the appalling condition some of the interstates (especially in California) are in. Driving along and trucks in front of us were changing lanes. Found out a couple of seconds later why. Massive pot holes in the motorway. Not fun @ 70 mph. And they love their tar snakes. Rather than fix it properly lets just keep pouring more tar into those cracks. But again, they also have some nice roads, away from the main trucking routes the roads are generally in better nick and not as broken up.
But I'll never complain again about the state of the roads in NZ, generally speaking I reckon our roads are in better nick than in the US.

The roads here are better alright. I read a recent US report that stated their roading infrastructure (including bridges) needed 166 billion of investment to bring it up to scratch.

Where did you go in California?

No numberplates of course.

Where did you go in California?

Did four states, California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. All over the place and along parts of old Route 66.

Great stuff. I only managed to get some weekend trips to Nevada and Arizona plus a couple of Mexican one dayers but enjoyed it all.

Funny you should say that...I thought that too. They'll all have to rush off and buy? yellow bikes now then!

Yellowstone has some good twisty bits.

A shame about the speed limit - and tourists
