No, no, no..........I was just making a play on the Distinguished Gentleman's moniker.:D (and making a dig @ desmoman)

Hillbillies are inherently anti-organization and don't trust any institution.......revenuers and such (also see anti-social):laugh2:

Yesterday was day 1 of a trip to Scotland for 5 of us on modern bikes. We stopped somewhere in rural Shropshire at Sleap Airfield for coffee, and this beauty flew over. Must have come in to land while I was having a pee!

Not a common sight over here, especially out in the middle of nowhere!
I was sure that was a Brewster, but no.

Took a ride to Florence SC sort of a RTE to Buc-ees..They're a southern tradition...Sadly none in NC..so a 360 mile ride to Florence SC...Their Texas BBQ Brisket sandwiches were off the charts..... and likewise their Mexican food! Gas was only $2.86 for UNLD REG! Oh and they have 120 gas pumps all under a huge canopy...unreal...

I rode through "hill country" on my way back from Sturgis in '18. Amarillo to Brady then on to Fredericksburg, Llano (for lunch at Coopers) then on to points east. Beautiful scenery, wonderful people.
Miss The Texas Hill Country, lived in Houston for 23years - it was a most enjoyed destinations for many weekends, year round!
