It's the Oklahoma wind Chris. I didn't even need a teasing comb.
I'm not sure if I've snapped any father son pictures. He is way more like his dad, we mountain bike as much as humanly possible but he does have a tomos St that of course I maintain parked at his apt unloved. When he is up at my house he only wants to ride my magnum. Possibly because my next door neighbor clocked me with his bmw motorcycle keeping Pace with me at 56 mph ?? Sustained !!! And I'm afraid to go any faster which I'm pretty sure it will go.

I won’t be afraid to go faster I Went low 60s on magnums with stock spring suspension as well as the stock hydraulic suspension and it my opinion you could probably handle mid 70s mph like nothing
Yes but should you! I don't especially feel like going fast. But I'm loving wrenching on my bikes that can go fast. It's like money in the back.

No but it’s better to have a bike be able to go 65 mph but cruise it like 50-55mph
So Cali roads are kinda getting impossible to feel safe on from all the wacky drivers being in anything less than a m1 tank. And it's hot . But yeah I like speed.

Yeah it’s getting to be like that a few miles from my house due to the influx of thousands of new homes being built on farmlands that farmers kids sold out to greedy land developers for way too cheep because they didn’t want to do real work cause their dumb/smart phone is stuck to their face,
Most new houses are being occupied by doctors/healthcare workers from every country around the world, though they’re nice people they don’t know how to drive/know USA driving laws, Most have no idea what to do on a roundabout!
Many times they go to the left!
I was talking to one 40-50s year old guy in a line at a food store who had IDs for local hospital hanging on his neck I ended up following to the store behind him for a few miles,
He had his right turn signal going on the entire time, though he turned left, he ping ponged from scraping curb on right to left of center almost clipping a landscaping trailer going 25 to 35mph in 35 zone slowing down to 20mph sometimes, (such horrible inconsistent speed) so I though it was a 95-year-old driver, then he took four spots (well actually three spots if you had a tiny sub compact car) in the parking lot when he parked his Toyota four runner,
I said I followed you and you’re about the worst driver I’ve ever seen, you were all over the road, are you OK? not having a stroke or anything. He said ya I’m OK” I think but could hardly understand him and then I said “why did you take four parking spots in this busy parking lot?” He said I dunt kno ! I driv perfect, so bet compar to my country,
he came from this place and this is what he’s used to :
I’ve talked to the a few local police that were eating at the Mexican/only restaurant by me and he said they’re starting to crack down on the Noobs from every country in the world that are moving into the area not knowing or respecting our motoring laws because there was been a few bicycle and pedestrian incidences people parking in handicap spots sideways taking out three handicap spots, as well as cars flying right up and over the roundabouts!
I don’t think other countries licenses should be valid in the US, green card or not, you should take a regular license written exam and road test exam the moment you come in this country if you want to drive any motorized vehicle because in some countries all you have to drive is a few feet forward and a few feet in reverse to get your license! what the hell is that!
Well Ken sounds like your set to navigate Davis ca where 25% of the enrollment is overseas Chinese. Now they all.seem to have nice BMWs or Mercedes , they for the most part went to no apparent driving school. So let's roll

Over here it’s India, Pakistan, Middle East, some Asian, some Somalia and others coming in in droves past few years I mean they seem to be able to afford it out here Its is not section 8 housing it’s 250,000 for bare-bones townhouse to 1 million+$ homes which in California would be Like $4 million homes !
Like I said they’re nice, respectable and have money but what the hell, not one can drive at all, basically only if they’re by themselves on the road!
Went to the store today and landscaping on the one side of a roundabout was completely wiped out and skidmarks pretty much in the middle out so somebody went fullbore right through middle of a roundabout again!
I guess this USA driving thing is just too hard to comprehend!

I would say that in that case, the US Drivers License should be invalid to travelers abroad, but it wouldn't really impact you as you most likely perpetually exist in the same corner of the MidWest you always have.
I ride daily amongst drivers from every nation on the busiest streets in the country, and can say that it's not the immigrants or out of country tourists causing problems, it's the American visitors from the more rural parts of the country who think driving their Expedition with the screaming kids through Times Square sounds like a hoot.
