    It's pretty enough, what I did of it, (from San Luis Obispo back up to
    SF). I preferred the north coast, though. I think that's because it
    wasn't a lot different: my first experience of it was crossing the Golden
    Gate Bridge, which made more of an impression.

    It's likely to be warmer down around Big Sur, and there's certainly some
    great views and fun roads. It includes one of the most picturesque scenes
    I've ever seen, in Julia Pfieffer Burns State Park. Definitely worth
    stopping there.
    OK. I went with them specifically because I didn't want a HD.

    This is what it looked like last weekend. It's summer, so the fog is
    around. Fecking cold and wet but 10 miles farther north it was sunny and
    hot.

    Too many tourists that don't know how to drive on winding roads around
    Big Sur. Just south of SF (where I am) are some of the best roads in
    California for riding. This site rocks for picking a route.

    Hmm. What sort of bad?

    "You my bitch now" bad or something else?

    I just like the dodgy parts of towns. And I like dipping my toe into
    the anarchic sub-system that is criminal culture (though the bad side is
    when your friends get their heads blown off in the street in broad
    daylight).

    fwiw, I don't subscribe to the romantic notion that "there's honour
    among thieves"; there isn't.

    Ben Blaney bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along
    the lines of:
    But there are some thieves that you can trust and are pretty good
    geezers to have around some times. :)

  6. You're critizing someone for having a moral code?

    Can you provide a convincing argument why your particular
    moral code is the "correct" one? (Hint; as far as I know,
    philiosophers have been working on this problem for the last
    couple of thousand years. If you have a convincing argument
    why you are right, the world deserves to know.)

  7. Either I can't read reasonable english, or you're not expressing
    yourself as clearly as you might. Or you're trolling for responses
    by deliberately trying to be brief to the point of possible
    misunderstanding. Although I think you're bright enough for that,
    you've said before that you're lazy...
    You think their moral code is wrong, but cannot justify why
    yours is correct (apart from the argument "well, it's mine
    and I'm a genius, so it must be right"). And you accuse me
    of a non sequitur?

    All depends on where you draw your "moral line". They just draw it
    slightly lower down than most people, but even they have a line.

    In San Francisco that would be the Hunters Point area. Currently, two
    gangs are discussing who can sell crack on what street corners.

    Superb. I look forward to re-acquainting myself with San Francisco in
    October.

    Are you taking the ukrm posse to stake your claim on that particular
    corner?

    Gang colours - black with shiny disco ball logos.

    You forgot the body armour and automatic weapons.
