I've discovered how to get all the respect I'd need from these winners. I'm getting an american flag jersey! Hey, I love this country just as much as anyone else, the only problems is it's full of stupid people. So I thought, why fight it? I'll tell you how it goes.
LOL Ha Ha HA
I'm rite there with you buddy. I've even mensioned this on other threads. I have'nt read all these replies so forgive me if I repeat something but I just had to jump in on this one. Yes the American Red Neck (Americanus Rougus Spinus) A very difficult creature to study and understand. I've lived in many places in this country including New England ,New Mexico, Kentucky, Indiana and now Virginia. I find there are different species of Red Necks around the country. In Virginia if your driving a car down the road they all wave at you! It freeked me out the first time I moved here from NE b/c up there if you wave to someone or say hi they think your a freek. But in all places I have found that if your on a bike and they in a automobile then you are nothing but a squirlle or turtle on the road. Some people swerve for these animals some purposely hit them. In either case you get hit it was your fault you don't belong on the road, roads are for cars and trucks get outta my way! I've thought of the American flag Jersey but here are a couple others I'd like to get: Dale Ernhardt, Bush Beer, maby Calvin peeing on a Ford or A Chevy (either one gets respect), NASCAR, White Tail, NRA many others. It's funny too how these imbicile flag waving red necks don't even know who Lance is. You know Lance Armstrong 5 time winner Tour De Freedom!
EDIT: btw Boone is a great place I love it. Next month I'm riding Mt Mitchell
