As a future resident, you really need to know that it's actually named, The City.

Further use of the non Nor-Cal terminology will result in a 2 beer penalty.

I'm down here with the other troublemakers on the Central Coast, but am up in Menlo Park and over in Rio Vista pretty regularly.

Welcome to the neighborhood. And sorry.

I'm in Novato, which is about 30 minutes north. Or maybe an hour in the afternoon.

Why, because 100 % of my motorcycles are in one piece and run, as opposed to 33% like some people?

I'm actually going to live in the Santa Rosa region, since your a Budweiser drinker, penalties shouldn't be to costly

Being the only fist allows me to be undefeated and keep my reputation unquestioned.
Kind of like a dictator who offs the opposition and nay-sayers.

Mark in Pollock Pines. Lots of good roads if you don't mind a little altitude.

Northern California = best riding in the country. That's why I chose to be born here!


Old codger here, still above ground, and ready to twist the wrist ~ a few miles south of San Francisco.
