 Get a set of clip ons for the speedy too. They make the bike an entirely different animal in a good way.

It's worth it in the end. Just look forward to the day he tells you you are right. And you'll ask about what, and he will say everything.

I enjoy this when it happens with even little things.

Still out kids Graduation is Sunday.

Meh, I get to start doing more the things I enjoy soon enough. Oldest only graduates once And there is always the fall ride. 

Same plan as every year? If so I may ride out to comp acc for some early am bullshitting. I can't make the ride though oldest is graduating. 

Welcome.

Sexy bike. No spare cash here.

Yes one day we pester everyone that drives past Joe's Cycle Shop. Tear down and setup help is appreciated too. Other than that you can bug your employer, friends, classmates, random people at the grocery, 

Look here for future details we are just getting rolling on this year so not much info yet.

Phone call today.

Me: Hello

Other person: Hi, may I speak with Paul please. 

M: Sorry you have the wrong number.

Op: Sorry about that. Maybe you could help me then, I'm calling on behalf of the Disabled Veterans Association....

M: What's the disability?

Op: Uhh they are various disabilities....

M: If their disability was phone dialing we might be onto something. 

Op: What? 

M: Phone dialing.

Op: Uhh if...

M: Look dude I don't care what your selling or asking for. I didn't sign up. Please learn to dial a correct number. Or change your sales pitch.

Now had he stated that they cannot dial phones correctly, I'd have been screwed and had to donate. But otherwise this clown is probably a scammer. 

Cut that connector, buy some fuses an assortment of them and electrical tape. Find power, ground, and accessory wires. Start touching remaining wires until you figure out what's what for the speakers. Jam that radio back in the hole and I'd leave it flop around. Kids are going to change it out anyway if they catch the audio bug. 

Please don't do any of the above. 

As always Bud I will be there to help out. It's way too much fun harassing passers-by.

2 important items not addressed by the poll:

1. Mortgage debt. I have met many people that believe in the motto: Buy the biggest house that you can afford.  They end up house poor and can't enjoy the finer points of life (like motorcycles).

2.  It is surprising how many people aren't saving enough for retirement. They can't "afford" to save for retirement.

1. Fuck house poor. your a small disaster away from being homeless.

2. I see this all the time with kids getting out of the CTC and going hog wild with the money they are making right out of highschool. Next thing they know they are strapped to a massive car and house payment. Not even having kids yet and I can see that they are fucked written on the wall. Because now they have to work the 55hr weeks to afford all thier dumb shit. And when the work isn't there they are hurting. And they continue this behavior untill something gives. (I am watching three guys do this now.)

The mid 50's folks are the ones that kill me though they know better. Don't laugh at me because I am maxing out my contributions for the year to every place I can stuff them. 

Changed my eating habits at the begining of the year. Partialy fell off the wagon though. Some of the stuff I used to eat makes me feel horrible when I have it now.

And fuck me if reading this thread doesn't explain  some of the head aches and feeling like shit I have been having. Candy makes it go awaythough, thought it was withdrawls. Going to get a doctors appointment here soon I guess. 

Was in there sunday, really had to talk myself out of a new jacket. 

A coworker was in a horrible motorcycle accident tried to take a SUV on head on. He has been in a coma for the last week. Was up and alert until Sunday before last when he started to have mini strokes from having a few broken bones. He actually fared pretty good for the accident. 

I would like to be able to tell the family some good stories so they can have more hope than they already do. This would also help us coworkers. As always thoughts and prayers to help this kid out of his situation. 

Thanks

I was hoping to do this but we are having kids birthday party so I'm out.

As a machinist this infuriates me. I have seen this done. I have seen mics used as clamps. I have seen this same guys calipers with the I.D. tips so mangled they were useless. O.D. tips were on thier way too. Watched this same person ruin my 2-3 inch mics checking a part. Broke them tightening them way too much. This clown works at DRT (Little York) now. If you work there you should already know who he is.   

Looking at an older Victorian home. Give me your horror stories if you have any. Or any advice for buying a home built in 1880. 

Fuck me forgot all about this. Too much going on at the moment anyway. Happy birthday by the way. 

Count us in. 

Should be in for this ride. 

Yes, Tike is related to wife somehow. He has done some service me. No complaints here. As for buying a bike from there I couldn't tell you anything.

Wtf. Let me get over the shock of something being different. So far I like it.

I will be there. Need to blow off some steam. Nor to mention BS about motorcycles. 

This would be an awesome gift for the kids. And an excuse for me to go to Cleveland as I have never been there before.
