Yeah, I know - and didn't one of those rich Texans recently try to get a
permit to move Maryland into his front garden? ;-)

Sounds like fun. Did I mention the automatic speed traps set up in some
places?

Anyway, I found it far easier and cheaper to get around when I was living in
SC. And although the bike I'm riding now is at least as good, sometimes I
still miss the Honda Magna V65 I rode over there. Now if only y'all didn't
have that crazy speed limit, driving in the US could be perfect. :-)
