Hey all. I've heard good things about this board from people on other ones. I'm mostly a vette guy but if it runs on gas and someone has tried to make it go faster (or just louder) I'm interested. Cars, waverunners, bikes, whatever. I have a black 2008 Z06, a white 1999 C5 Coupe and a black '68 C3 coupe. I just got rid of my '06 GTO DD and miss it already. Dan

Hey new on here, proud owner a 2002 WS6. I am originally from Delaware, Ohio but now live in the gulf coast. I am active duty military and just recently got back from afghanistan which means lots of $$$ for new parts! I plan to move back to columbus after im out of the military (2 years) and hope the race scene is as good up there as it is down here! Here are a couple pics of my TA http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/ws6two.jpg http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt325/BStowers023/ws6-1.jpg mod list - Ported 853 casting heads running 300cfm Raptr Cam from thunder racing .615/.615 236/242 111LSA Pacesetter 1 3/4 longtubes Hooker 3" ORY Magnaflow catback QTP cutout SLP lid 85mm MAF motive 4.10 gears Spec stage 3 LS7 lifters Vogtland lowering springs Nitto 555Rs

Live in Ashtabula / NE Ohio. Been riding 2 wheels on/off for 40 years. I'm into the fat rides (including the wife ) now. Besides her, I ride a 06 Goldwing & a 06 VTX. Been a Highway worker out on the Interstates & state highways for 27 years. I'm the guy that slushes your mailbox off every chance he gets and drinks coffee until your done shoveling your drive. Love to ride & still get a smile on my face watching the sport bikes play on the street and enjoy watch-n them race on TV. Family does a little ATV-n . My sons got a couple Ex 400's, Side-by side Razor and I ride a 4x4 Scrambler. WE like to head down to the local motocross tracks from time to time to watch the locals get it on. Avid steelhead fisherman. Fished most the Great lake tribs. between the Manistee River in Michigan to the Salmon River in New York. Spent a lot of years fish-n out in Lake Erie / Ontario too. At this point in my life, its been mostly about riding the last 4 years. West Virginia is probably my 1st. pick of places to ride with-in neighboring states. I've logged a lot of miles in northwestern Pa. & N.Y. state. Anywhere that is not straight, flat & boring like my home county & most of NE Ohio. That bout covers it for now. Been reading the site for several years. Like the humor & b@ll busting. HW-Man

Even a blind squirrel get's a nut once in a while.

people know a real truck when they see it, no need to put 12x12 badges all over it so people know what it is

OK, more substance... My Z06 is stock for now except for the black Modular Concepts staggered rims with red pin-stripes but I'm sure there will be more to come. I hard-wired a Valentine One in it right after I got it... http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1304/4661382671_ed703a884b.jpg 17807_03 by harmonda, on Flickr My GTO had Racemesh kidney and lower grilles, SLP long-tubes, SLP LM2 (loud as h3ll), Lingenfelter Intake, Hotchkis bars, Drag bags, a B&M strut brace, Predator Diablo tune, 19" Axis Milanos with BFG KDWs, custom catch can, Optima Red-top, Hurst short-throw shifter, etc... I did a few Hot Rod Power Tours with it. It's an awesome time if you can get free for it. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3376/3513066230_a8431242f2.jpg DSC00294 by harmonda, on Flickr My 99 is stock except for a GMPP big brake kit and an Optima. It is classic Corvette white with firethorn red interior. My wife has daily driven it since 2001. My 68 has hooker headers and side-pipes and a MSD distributer but is otherwise fairly stock. I haven't had it long and will be doing a mild restore on it soon to prep it for a future Power Tour. Oh yeah...the 'rescue'/winter vehicle is a 99 Superduty Crew Cab 4x4 with a car hauler. (vette's don't have spares ya know). I do almost all my own work on my cars. Mostly I'm just cheap but I also like to know what workmanship has gone into it. I have a lift in my garage/barn and would rather be out there working on a car than about anything else.

Qdoba isn't bad but nowhere near as good as Chipotle. I'm the resident Mecxcan so my word is gold in these matters Jack in the Box is AMAZING

Justin- Dub is a great guy. Legit, level headed person that is somewhat of out of the "norm" when it comes to being a retail buyer. He is educated, knows a good number of people and is probably a savvy shopper. All those things combined essentially means that he is going to investigate what he buys, research the average costs of a similar item and go to task with the shop he buys from. That means that a dealer needs to have the ducks in a row, of sorts. The issue is that prices are what leads customers to the door. I understand that the idea that you all dyno bikes and make sure they run is a cool option to provide - especially if there is no test ride until AFTER the paperwork. Educated and on the ball customers are going to shy away from not being able to test ride a bike. Now, if you can allow the dyno run to be done in front of a customer, that may reduce the apprehension. Also, understand that stating you cook hot dogs and are part of many events for OR while cool and generous, isn't a reason to buy. If I am spending under $500, maybe. But if I am plopping down $4k for something, I don't care about hot dogs. I want to be able to be treated great by getting test rides, getting knowledgeable sales staff, by getting treated properly. I've bought some parts when I was in a pinch from you guys as you are so very close. They were OK priced and not really exceptional and I didn't get anything off for being an OR member... However, at times, we all understand that the time it takes to research a part and wait and even spend time driving to get it, etc., getting it locally at a higher price is not such a bad deal and is essentially saving time for me - which is like saving money. Just understand that if someone chimes in and states that $4k for a bike w/o gauges, fairings, etc and will cost them a good bit to get back to street condition, it is a heads up to do some checking and to do some investigating as to what it will take to get it done. Honda parts on Ebay and other avenues for getting such items are higher than average due to the lower number of owners. Compared to a GSXR, a set of gauges are more money as there are fewer to choose from... Just remember that sponsors care about customers - if not, they will loose business and not be around very long. Pedophiles give free candy to kids - doesn't mean they are doing a great job on the follow up... Know what I mean? Sponsors try to do their customers right. Some do more in terms of being around at events, etc. That's fine and that's noble. But, saying things like free test rides at used bike dealers is probably not being done correctly is an opinion... Most people that buy from dealers, go to established OEM dealers selling used bikes. At those shops, a LOT will allow test rides. Customers that claim they do not are most likely not probable customers or are window shopping... We never got to signing paperwork first and test rides after... We'd grab maybe a fully refundable deposit and if the test ride was a failure, we refunded... But, nobody is doing it that way as you describe. The issue on your end is most likely due to the fact that the bike does not have a rebuildable title. It is a liability on your end to allow a person to ride a bike with a salvage title due to the fact that if something went wrong, it would be tough for an insurer to support or back. Now, if they were clean titles and non rebuildables, it would be different. Just say that as opposed to claiming other used bike dealers are doing illegal things... Sounds bad on your end... Anyways, if someone wants this thing and there is a smoking deal, talk to Justin. Give him a chance. After all, my feelings on supporting local shops is that if we do not, they will go away. We cannot afford a shop like this to go away. It is a great avenue for parts and such for our bikes and as I stated, I have used them in the past and will do so in the future. Just don't get so upset that on a public forum, people chime in with comment as to price... It is normal and how you react can be a deciding factor to some potential customers...

Satire is funny because it has more ring of truth to it than the BS we're being fed. Action > words.
