When Uncle Sugar went me on my all expense paid vacation to I only had about 7 years riding experience under my belt.

Hi my name is Lo Hwang, I make 50 cents a day. I'm sorry I cannot afford a pickup truck or ATTGATT, I can barely afford to put gas in my honda, but it sure beats walking! I apologize if my poverty has upset your delicate ADV sensibilities.
