Well this was my idea hope it doesnt bother anyone. Just thought with as many post as the Illinois board gets, it might help to have one for Southern Illinois.

Southern is a state of mind.
Don't matter where you are.
There are more yankees in FL than there are Southerners in GA anymore.
My wife is a good example.
Born and raised in PA, but more Southern belle lady in her than you can shake a stick at... uh...

Like I said above, I hope this does not cause any probelms or anything. Just thought it might make things alittle easier since Illinois has more post than any other state.

Logic? What is logic, Webster says it is the correct reasoning,<--- good point pACMAN! Illinois has always been divided into three during my life time, now if you were to "devide"<---(now this could be southern as you spell it ) :lol:
Option TWO. throw away all of the books and split it Down the center and we will call the eastern side east and the western side west, why? because it is!
Even the Terre Haute's channel TWO and TEN will say serving east central Illinois, Why? Because it is!
Now, how did I start trouble? is it a myth or A TOP SECRET RUMOR that I know about, :lol: Well anyway I always come up in conversations and they say their part and the story grows a little each time :lol: No sleep lost here.
Which the POINT is pACMAN, I didn't know that you were a little sensitive, but if you have been on the OLD board you would know about a little JOKING that goes on from time to time, the old saying goes: If you don't like what you see or can't take a joke, DON'T CLICK ON IT!
BOTTOM LINE: Your my HERO pACMAN!
I promise I will never tell you that your wrong when the sun comes up in the west :wink:

Just post it on the new SOUTHERN BOARD :lol: and maybe the riff raff will not follow :shock:
Hey Buett, the only "riff raff" as you put it, IS YOU. Like I said before, hope YOU are not going to start trouble here, but I guess I was wrong. How do you know I was not on the "OLD" board as you put it. I am not a little sensitive, I just dont like trouble makers and people who think they are better than everyone else! Next time you get your big bad bike out (that is better than everyone else's) look around you and see how many friends you have riding with you. OH P.S. THERE BUETT THE BEST LOOKING BIKES THAT I HAVE SEEN ON HERE ANYWAY IS WHAT8 AND XTHING 1.

Ok, just to clarify the ever lasting question about what constitutes Southern Illinois...
The state is not equally split into 3 portions making up North, Central, and Southern Illinios - this is what I found on the net:
Grab a drink Ladies and Gents, because it's a few paragraph's long
Though Illinois lies entirely in the Interior Plains, it has three major geographical divisions. The first is Chicagoland, including the city of Chicago, its suburbs, and the adjoining exurban area into which the metropolis is expanding. This region includes a few counties in Indiana and Wisconsin and stretches across much of northern Illinois toward the Iowa border, generally along Interstates 80 and 90. This region is cosmopolitan, densely populated, industrialized, and settled by a variety of ethnic groups. Cook County is the most populous county in the state, with over 5.3 million residents in 2004.
Southward and westward, the second major division is central Illinois, an area of mostly flat prairie. The western section (west of the Illinois River) was originally part of the Military Tract of 1812 and forms the distinctive western bulge of state. Known as the Land of Lincoln or the Heart of Illinois, it is characterized by small towns and mid-sized cities. Agriculture, particularly corn and soybeans, as well as educational institutions and manufacturing centers, figures prominently. Major cities include Peoria–the third largest metropolitan area in Illinois at 370,000, Springfield–the state capital, Decatur, Bloomington-Normal and Champaign-Urbana.
The third division is southern Illinois, comprising the area south of U.S. Route 50, and including Little Egypt, near the juncture of the Mississippi River and Ohio River. This region can be distinguished from the other two by its warmer climate, different mix of crops (including some cotton farming in the past), more rugged topography (the southern tip is unglaciated with the remainder glaciated during the Illinoian Age and earlier ages), as well as small-scale oil deposits and coal mining. The area is a little more populated than the central part of the state with the population centered in two areas. First, the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis comprise the second most populous metropolitan area in Illinois with nearly 600,000 inhabitants, and are known collectively as the Metro-East. Second, the Carbondale, Marion, West Frankfort, Herrin, Murphysboro area, is home to around 200,000 residents.
Collectively, all of Illinois outside the Chicago Metropolitan area is called "downstate Illinois".

More of your uneducated Robinson mentality pACMAN, you keep bringing up that I am a trouble maker, I get along with most, the people that I ride with know how to joke and have a good time, and most people don't have the days off that I do and I don't have to have a group to ride with, my bike isn't better than anyone else's, it's been rode hard and put up wet, it does show it's miles and I do not worship it, ( a cheap toy) I do think I like it enough to ride it where ever I want and it runs as good wet as it does dry, it suits me, just like what others think about there bikes. so your point you were trying to make here so you would
feel better about yourself doesn't work with me.
This is my last reply to your nonsence, I refuse to waste any more of my time with your ISSUES, have a Great life and I wish you well.

Buett you are such a fool and you keep opening your mouth and showing it. For one you say I have an "uneducated Robinson mentality" HUMMMMM spent the first 26 years of my life living in Hammond Indiana, so no i didnt get any of my education in Robinson. For two at least I can spell your name correct, MR educated. For three maybe we chould put a poll on here to see how many people think that you are the fool of crawford county!
