Only 7 in my state. I figured a lot more. I managed one store in Harvard Square; there are 4 or 5 stores within a 30 minure walk.

Either you're a slow walker or there's some city ordinance against having a good and proper Starbucks Community Density Level (SCDL)

I live down the street from the End of the Universe...there were two Starbucks across the street from one another.

There used to be on street corner I could stand on in downtown Boston and see 2-3 of 'em at the same time.

Attn Danny Ocean, f-off. Enough of the stereotypes. I bet there are more Porsche's at Starbucks than Harleys.

What's the matter, don't get enough respect on your Vespa?

I hate Starbucks btw, and all coffee.

I'd rather ride a Vespa than a Harley, any day of the week.

So? I knew I was buying a hair dressers car when I got my boxster. At least I didn't put on airs like I was a tough guy

FWIW, the politically-correct term for the owner of a Hardly Dangerous is "Chromosexual"

+1

I think the RUB fad is about the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a while. You never see so many insecure, fat balding middle-aged men in one place at one time trying to out-dork each other. Sad, actually. Way worse than Porsche GTGs any day of the week. . . At least the ones I've seen.

I take it you've not been to a McCain fundraiser?

Enjoy your Vespa. The stereotypes and snobbery here are running a little thick. Glad they don't apply to pinky-ring wearing Porsche owners. Metro-sexuals rule....I guess.

You ride your Vespa. I'll ride my V-rod with it's Porsche designed twin cam engine.

Wanna race? Chicken?

I'd love to see some of you tough guys (Thom excluded) call someone a RUB in person.

Enjoy your Vespas guys, pussies.

Oh wait, thats a stereo type, but I guess that is par for the course around here now.

Pretty soon this is going to be just like Rennlist OT.

You guys have a lot of nerve. After I've overpaid for my motorcycle, assless chaps and fingerless gloves, I'm damned sure not going to overpay for my latte...
Starbucks.......gimme a break.

Stereotype? Swing by the Starbucks on Atlantic Ave. in Delray Beach any Sat/Sun morning. It looks like a friggin' HD dealership.

Now...is it true that everyone from Colorado is like those two "Brokeback Mountain" guys?

P.S. - Here's me on a bike I built (not bought) c. 1985 (that's 23 yrs. ago). I sold all my Harley's as soon as I noticed every Tom, Dick & Harry started buying them (late 90's). My first "car" was a 1977/8(?) XLCR.



This thread is about Starbucks, not Harley's. Learn to read, Butch...

When I saw one go up in my old hometown, I thought things were getting out of hand. Now it's closing, makes sense.
