We get a bad rap(mainly from NYkers) though they spend more time here than their own state.. Go figure.

So true...we used to call the city people who came to the shore for the summer "Bennys" and to this day they still do...although I don't know how that came about.

People from South Jersey like to be different from North Jersey. We consider ourselves a seperate state then North Jersey. The rest of it is soooo true and if you don't live in Jersey then you don't understand.

Imagine how I feel. Fold a map of NJ in half, and I'm on the crease.

As someone born and raised in Cape May County and now living in Mercer County, Id be hard pressed to draw a line how to seperate this darn state.

I will say though, theres no place finer then south Jersey :)

Wrong... no motorcycle rider that ain't on a scooter will allow anyone else to pump gas. I ride with the Red Knights and my friends in New Jersey are adamant about it. Too dangerous and the gas pump guys are in too big a hurry to care about dinging your tank. When the weather gets warmer, you'll see what I mean.
I don't know why you're getting defensive about this, you don't own New Jersey, so why does it bother you that bikers pump their own gas.
Living in Manhattan and now Delaware has taken me thru NJ many, many times on a bike, I have never, ever seen a biker allow anyone else to pump gas... just the way it is.

Lot less crime too I may add.
