If you decide to expand search and want to look in CMH(Cbus) let me know. I have connections at a lot of trucking/logistics companies from my previous job. I know I could get you on somewhere.

Wow I saw it last night on the news after Nick text me while I was in church. I don't take my phone with me or I would've said a prayer right there. Horrific wreck and seeing it on the news last night just really put things back into pursepctive. I wasn't a huge fan of him and thought he was dangerous as a rider BUT that doesn't matter. He was a great racer, had a great attitude, and just wanted to win. Truly saddened to lose 2 great racers in 2 weekends. RIP Racer.

What he said.... KTM, you doing any days down south this winter? With Dubguy in Indy now, I think our winter trip is on hold until everything is situated and good to go with he and Jen. I'd love to get on the track 2-3 times this winter just to keep improving.

Uship.com. I had quotes for shipping my car 2 mos ago for like 600 to wisconsion. I only saved like 200 driving it myself when it was all done, and I would now have just shipped it.

Funny I have a great story about this, I can be long winded so let me break it down if I can. Specialty RV in lancaster had 1 of my trailers for a new rubber roof, usually costs 800-1,000. Just roll on rubber and seal everything up. No problem, takes 2 days tops. They had the trailer for 8 weeks. I didn't go get it because everytime I called they said they were starting it and it was torn apart and I didnt want to drive to lancaster to check. Plus it was still early spring. Anyways, after 8 weeks they call me and say it is done, they did that, and repacked bearings, and checked trailer breaks. They told me the bill was 780 or something I was like awesome. I go pick it up, the guy tells me he cant warranty anything, Im like that is fine I understand. He then proceeds to tell me they did NOT put a rubber coating on but just filled the cracks, I said for 780? no way. Caulk is 6.00 a tub for hte top of the line, and he claimed they used 8 boxes! I was like WTF rubber coating is 50 for a gallon, takes 2-3 to do... Anyways, I call and try to talk to the store owner, nothing, get sent back to the service manager, he tells me he didnt warranty it and wont refund anything. I take the trailer to the races, it leakes first trip in the rain. Worse than before, I call again, same thing. I file a BBB report, it got deleted because it was "resolved" I was NEVER contacted, nothing lasted, nothing was done. Now I tell anyone and everyone to stay away from them and go to RCD in Newark/Pataskala. I've been to RCD twice now, and they told me this is ongoing with Specialty RV in Lancaster. But the dude i talked to steve in the service department acted like I was the bad guy accusing him of his mistakes and lies. It is funny because it's so true.

ALSO Iron Pony carries about 1/2 of the styles.... Like they do not have these, I went to try them on there, as they fit a little different and they dont carry them. Same with some of the Sidi and TCX versions. Supertech R's are by far the most recommended if you read through Wera, talk to riders, TJ, etc. Im ordering mine(yes dubguy finally) from TJ end of this month for an early Christmas present, or wait I will have my GF get them.... I tried on Andy's and Nick's and they are by far the best in bracing I tried on. I did try Sidi(I wear them now), TCX, and Astars and they were the best.

Where is 1st bike located? Might be worth asking for pickup help etc... I travel alot and have an enclosed... As do others.

May wanna take a step back on this buddy. No need to get your panties in a bunch and unload on him for doing what he felt comfortable doing. From what he stated earlier he is within what is capable of his car, and towing 75-85 may not always be the smartest thing, but to carry speed to get up a hill easier, it definitely is. I've seen what happens to tires, and actually compared to car tires, I will take a trailer blowout anytime, there is a reason they are radials with steelcords..... They hold shape better than falt car tires. Mykill, I would talk to Marty about that 3 rail, that will save a TON of weight, and I've used several before, they are great. Glad to hear you made it there and back and all is well. Get at me sometime this winter, need to set up a trip south and also some days next season together.

FINALLY, some more roadracing opportunities @ Mid-Ohio!

That means I have to hang with Craig, Jinu, and you.... I dunno about that -
Yeah, you are correct. The cockpit went into the fence.... Basically he was an unguided missile. So tragic. Youtube it, but be warned it is graphic. The Pic above with his wife and kids really puts things back into perspective.

Nick, remind me about the $$ come that time of the year. I remember you telling me last season but I wasn't set on what I was doing. Obviously, this time around I am ready to toss some $$ Todd's way to help get things rolling or whatever. Thanks bud. -
Lot's of "what if's".... 2012 Car that Weldon had been testing was to be safer, better, and lots of drivers were loving it. He normally doesn't start that far back, so correct, what if he was in his normal spot. The list goes on and a very good point brought up. I did not see it live, I have watched it about 25 times since, and made my GF sit and watch every second of the post crash footage with me. She isn't even a racing fan, but she teared up and the shear travesty that came from the incident. It is one of those things though, anytime anyone, gets into a race suit, weather it be Indy, Nascar, ARCA, Truck, Dirt, a leather for a bike race, etc. they know what they are getting themselves into. Sad because these incidents are the outcome that is always possible. Very sad, my dad grew up around the sport and led him to race in rally cars and he was pretty shook up by this as well. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and all the drivers.

Even being a rookie racer I would happily add to that Jinu, just let me know if you all are doing that again to help with the nudge forward.... I have paypal and bank with Chase, I can send funds. -

Westboro Baptist Church Gets Tires Slashed, Locals Refuse To Perform Repairs

Can we just burn them alive? I am all down for that, tire slashing is weak. -
Why I don't like shopping at WalMart reason #453,324,535,643

Why I don't like shopping at WalMart reason #453,324,535,643
madcat6183 replied to Casper's topic in Dumpster
If anyone gets really bored, I have a 28+ page college thesis paper about why to hate Walmart. I haven't shopped there more than a handful of times since 2006 when I did the paper. Most of the time it was because I was with someone else. My GF buys her shampoo or something in the hair place or something so I walk around, never buy anything. I will pay 10 times what Walmart charges at the local hardware store, or anywhere for that matter. If someone really wants it, I can and will happily dig it out of my old laptop(if it turns on). -
Tax benefits for donating to salvation army, goodwill etc
madcat6183 replied to idodishez's topic in Dumpster
If you get a receipt you enter that on your taxes, if you dont you just make up whatever you think you donated. On tax programs i.e. turbotax it will even give you like a dollar value based on what it is. I never get receipts and just guesstimate what I've donated. Like I think polo's are 2.00, suits are 12.00, etc. I usually write off a few hundred dollars of clothes/household goods every year. -
Wait, where can I buy that? I mean wouldnt every man use that vs. adding another additive! Well I only have 2 2cycle engines everything else is a 4 cyc, but Ill take the easy way anytime. I will check HD this weekend. Thanks for hte heads up.

2nd that. Also the other procuct people are too cheap to use and it drives me NUTS is Stabil. I had to tear down, clean, and rebuild my friends tillers(2), trimmer, mower, carbs all this sping because... His dad always just ran engines out of gas vs. putting Stabil in so he does the same. Guess what I did 2 springs ago? The same thing. This time I told him point blank if he doesn't use it I wont help. Took a full day to do 4 engines and then readjust all the carbs too. I put Stabil in every engine I run before winter, along with a gallon or so of premium and have never once had any issues with any of them.

Yep, this, just depends on lender, most do though. I believe like Yamaha Credit doesn't if the loan is under X,XXX, as with others. We did though on anything with a lien over $1,500 Gotcha on the paid down by 700, sorry, I read that wrong.
