yes.

I did a motorcycle ride from Fairbanks, AK to Merritt Island, FL, a while back. Kids will be kids, but the best were the ones in Mississippi, where I had a breakdown. They PUSHED that heavy MF'n bike to the only open repair shop. Who did the job before noon the next day.

I like "Throngs of Thugs".
