I realize dirtbikes can be annoying, what with the sound they make and that they can go through all gears from first to last in a second flat then repeat the process over and over until you nearly lose your mind, it is annoying, yet damn these people are the ones that should be done away with!

I hope they get a massive amount of jail time!

uhm, i have been there, and i've ridden there, and it is the best bike city i've ever ridden in. If you have any doubt, just go to the financial disctrict on a weekday, and tell me how many bikes you see parked on each block....

Where do you get your information? Its terribly wrong..

are you sure you're not thinking of new york? :laughing:

Holiday-- do you have PMS (parked motorcycle syndrome)? I saw another response from you today where you lit up VermX. You're seeming a wee bit cranky...

might be MC friendly from an infrastructure standpoint but it's a tad hilly to be a good place to ride in stop-and-go traffic i reckon.

last time i drove in the city proper was a number of years back and it was hell on my little pontiac when you had to stop going up hill with a standard transmission hehe

really though, the heavy traffic portions of the city are downtown, where it si relatively flat. Its a beautiful place. Plenty of two wheel parking.

I've ridden in SF, New York, Boston, Montreal, toronto, chicago, dc, philly, and a bunch of other other cities, and SF is by far the most enjoyable (as much as city driving can be) with montreal being a close second. Montreal actually might take first place if i got to spend some more time there.

Sorry to hear about the stress at home, and I wish there was anything useful that me or others here could say. Do what you can, or at least what you have to, and just keep going.
