  3. That's because the person that owns the page wants it there. Thats why.
    Just like you, when your wife or girlfriend has a baby... you get to name
    it what your girlfriend or wife want you to name it... if you are smart that
    is.

    But you'd think he would try to make it accurate, wouldn't you.

    If I was smart we wouldn't have had the babies and I would have more bikes!

    "What are we supposed to do, ride around with frickin' snow chains on our
    Harleys?" asked Sid "The Spider" Arachion. "Studded winter bike tires? Yah,
    that may give us some traction, but it doesn't help when Old Man Winter is
    blowing a 35 degree wind-chill factor into my crotch."



    Canadian bikers are resigned to spending most of their spare time working on
    their hawgs in garages, as realistically, there are only two or three weeks
    of decent biking weather available to them in mid-July.


    see metrics do not need the constant work to keep them running.

    I know it says it's a parody page but this: "While the city of
    Whitehorse boasts over a million residents, " is kind of out there.
    The total population of the Yukon is only around 30,000.

    Really?

    <wanders off to workshop, plays torch flame on aluminium for an hour or
    two>

    It got a bit melty[1], but didn't burst into flame. Odd that.

    Perhaps I should have tried aluminium filings. Maybe with some iron ones
    too. WOOOOOOOH!


    [1] Well, quite a lot melty if you're being picky.

    I'm looking forward to the Apocalypse: the entire US subsumed in cleansing
    flame. All the higher life forms swept away. Nothing left but dust and
    fundamentalists...

  18. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember "P.Roehling"
    Deserts spread. The book was written decades ago.

    I think you mean fahhted, eh.

    And the article says:

    "And your leather chaps aren't exactly a viable winter alternative. And because
    it makes them look like "prissy little snow bunnies" they refuse to wear parkas
    or ski jackets when they ride."
    </quote>

    Sounds like being afraid of appearing less machismo keeps them from taking
    advantage of modern technology. So... look like a "snow bunny" and ride it, or
    just stay in and bitch about the weather. Thier choice.
