As a VA (Commonwealth of Virginia) resident, perhaps I should interpret:
When 'GreenMachine' wrote in abbreviated fashion, as is much in vogue with the kids nowadays, ''I'm in Va nd u in California", what he probably meant in full was, "I am in Virginia and you [are] in California." That comment likely stems from the fact that the original poster had expressed a desire to find a bike in the (San Francisco) "bay area." This seemed fairly obvious to me, but on the other hand "bay area" to me might usually indicate either the Chesapeake Bay or perhaps the other commonwealth of my birth, Massachusetts, or "The Bay State", while "Cali", another term used by the original poster, typically first brings to my mind some town in Columbia where the nose candy comes from.
Not that I'm in the market for another Iron Barrel, but I'd still be curious to see a few pix of 'GreenMachine's' '06, some more details, and what he may be asking for it...just because. And why the hell IS "abbreviation" such a long damned word?
