Bob- i grew up in New Britski(you know-Polacks,Puerto Ricans or Highways)right down the road (literally)from ERA.
Before i left in '86 i worked at Hartford Harley-Davidson.One of my jobs was to take new bike paperwork down to the Wethersfield office.You couldn't go to one of the satellite offices(N.B.),you had to go to Gestapo Headquarters.
Once you get to know the folks behind the windows they tell you all sorts of things.These are the two most memorable:
When the DMV was short handed(oxymoron-i know),management would call up retiree's and ask them to come back to work and VOLUNTEER their time!
Then some upper Gestapo genious came up with this one:Tell all the union employee's that they could take breaks or have a lunch hour.
Perfect windscreens that fail the first time and pass the second for no reason.
Heat shields?GIMME A FRIGGIN' BREAK.
Emission testing for motors that never had standards.
Back in the early 80's i thought it couldn't get worse.I stand corrected.
