"There are some things nobody needs in this world, and a bright-red, hunch-back, warp-speed 900cc cafe racer is one of them — but I want one anyway, and on some days I actually believe I need one.... Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba." Hunter S.

Probably more like "trailer trash" than Rednecks. Rednecks tends to be used a reference to simpler, less cultured where "trailer trash" would definitely be a derogatory reference to someone. Heck, some people I know consider "redneck" an honorary title because they've graduated from trailer trash  ;D

Hahahaha, love it.... ;D

Ah, see, banjos are the loudspeaker of the redneck community. That whole Hollywood thing gave every banjo-playing, toothless redneck a bad name. Just because a fella says "You gotta nice looking' mouth, Boy" doesn't always mean that you're in for a bad go in the jungle. Media hype and movie distortion of a fine breed of people (Hillbillys) 


PS. I don't whitewater raft anymore either... ;D ;D ;D ;D
