    Some of you may know about this ,has California banned all diesel trucks over 14000 lbs built before 2010 from its highways. Read that on Archery Talk and find it hard to believe.

    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    I read about that a little while ago, just California being California… sadly whatever they do eventually the rest of the states fallow eventually.

    When states do stupid shit like that the truckers need to quit delivering to them. When they run out of shit things will change.

    Never going to happen ! those making the laws will barely be effected.

    They could care less how the general population is effected.

    Besides the lure of $$ someone always caves I have never seen it not happen yet.

    I would love to be proved wrong!:fingerscrossed:

    I've been riding motorcycles and street bikes longer than I have been cars, I'll always have one, and when my legs wont hold me up anymore I'll be on a trike. I just love the ride. You just have to assume that every vehicle out there is going to run in to you, it's a different way of thinking. It's even worse when I'm on my e bicycle, people absolutely dont care about you when your on a bicycle.

    After losing 2 different very close friends to drunk drivers I quit riding for good!

    We've got a guy that's about as worthless as tits on a bull. Dispatch gives him all the shit loads nobody else wants. He takes them because they are always long load/unloads and he gets to sit on his ass and read a book. At least it keeps him from f&cking too much up and pissing off customers.

    Have never seen more than 15-18 there before. They have no fear as it's inside city limits and they can't be hunted. There's an occasional fox in the area but they somehow aren't affected by him. The guy in shipping said he's tempted to bring his crossbow to work and take one on his way home. At least it's getting dark this time of year, would be harder for someone to see and report him.
