Why bother??

After Northridge, there were something like 13,000 aftershocks.

I remember riding on my Yammy 650 between Venice and Granada, loaded
over and above the gunnels with water, food and EMT supplies............
doing 85mph and thinking....... "I didn't know that there were ripples
in the freeway here". It wasn't till I got to my mates place at Granada
that he told me I'd ridden through a 5.6 aftershock.


Big friggen deal.


SoCal is always going to rock'n roll.
