[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 46150, member: 2708"] The problem isn't Government, it is people, Government is just the enforcer. Above Pebble Beach in California there is a short privately owned road. The road is jointly owned by all of the very wealthy SOBs who live along this extremely beautiful chunk of Real Estate. Apparently they are not quite wealthy enough because they have made the road a toll road , charging visitor ten bucks admission to the road, which from memory looked to be about a half mile long and has a great view of the backsides of all of their mansions, plus the Pacific Ocean on the other side. My wife and I were about to drive down it, then read the sign about the tolls, which were bad enough, but it was the last item on the sign that truly pissed me off. They do not allow motorcycles to drive down their little road! So it is good that we have Governments to hold back the high and mighty, without them you can see what happens, every road would be a toll road and a very selective toll road at that. The irony is that there are some very prized motorcycles stored in some of those mansions. Stored but not ridden. I feel much better now. Glen [/QUOTE]
