York isn't a city in England. It's a city in Pennsylvania.

It's originally a city in North Yorkshire, so the English aren't all that original with their city names either.

Are you suggesting the city was named after the area?

York is a mistake in Pennsylvania

(jk. I love my hometown. Sorta.)

Hey now. York isn't THAT bad, even though a Google search for "York PA" has a video called "York Pennsylvania Sucks" as one of the top results...

I used to have a motorcycle that was manufactured there.

EDIT: I checked out of curiosity and I still have a motorcycle that was manufactured there.

how does one become uncertain if they still own an entire motorcycle

You see, I had a 750 Street Rod that was made in York, PA. I traded it in a month ago on a Nightster that was also made there.
