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

        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.

          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.
