    Every time I post something on this forum I'm getting bash for my english...

     

    Just tell them what you said once before >>  English is my 4th language, only red necks on this forum give me shit.

     

    I wish I could speak two languages.

  4. Suzuki GS 500 F

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    Jack flash has one maybe he'll chime in

     

    Yeah, here I am.  Sorry, I was asleep at the wheel.

     

    Anyways, I got my GS 500 F almost two years ago.

    It had 1300 miles on it.  Now it has about 6900, I think.

     

    I have a 29" inseam and this bike's seat sits at 31.1

    inches.  I can flatfoot it without stretching, but usually

    my heals are up a hair when I'm sitting, relaxed at a

    light.

     

    It's my first bike, so I don't have anything to compare

    it to, but I'm glad I got it and not a 250.  I dropped it

    on 555 and scuffed it up a little, but a change of the

    handlebars got me back on the road.

     

    It's fast enough for me to enjoy.  When I first learned

    how to ride it, I got it up to 45 MPH.  Wow!  I was flyin'.

    Now, 80 is the new 60 and I'm having a blast with it.

     

    After this riding season, if money is right, I'll have the

    itch to upgrade to something else.  But, I've read that

    many who have owned one wish they still had it to

    buzz about on, due to their upgrade being a bit

    cumbersome for short jaunts to the market, or around

    town.  I've always said that there is absolutely nothing

    at all wrong with having more than one motorcycle.

     

    Send me a PM with questions and I'll tell you what I

    know about the bike.  I'm happy with it and It's some of

    the most fun I've had with my pants on.

  7. 2014 SPRING Epic ride

    in Events

    Posted

    Anytime is good for me, as long as I can get off work.

     

    I voted for all three times, but I think that later in the

    season gives folks a chance to have their riding skills

    polished up before taking part in an event as large 

    as ours was last May.  Doc gave me a count of

    around 70 bikes.  I don't know how many groups we

    had, but there seemed to be quite a few.

     

    The larger the event, the more likely an unfortunate 

    incident will occur.  This is getting to where it may be

    a good idea to have the medically trained riders

    spread among the groups just in case something

    were to happen.

     

    And it's not too early to begin a list of those willing/

    qualified to lead/sweep.

    This should be entertaining.

     

    Yep.  Here we go...

     

    Suggestions of clubs seem to not go well in here. 

    There's a lot of poking fun at the idea, and many

    leave in a huff when their good intentions are met

    with ridicule and harsher teasing than one should

    have to endure when approaching under a banner

    of friendship and brotherhood.

     

    We'll post up rides open to others, announce

    gatherings in far off places, and sit around a

    campfire, smoking cigars and telling lies.  Clubs

    require something many here lack the interest in

    involving their time in, though others may be

    interested.

     

    Prepare for an ass raping at the mere suggestion,

    learn to laugh about it, and give 'em back as much

    as they give you.  Don't stomp off.  Just shake it

    off and join in.

     

    Welcome to OhioRiders.  We're glad to have you.

  15. What to do...

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Where I work, when a holiday is coming up,

    we put our name on the list, if we want to

    work it.  The company chooses the number

    of people they need to work and assigns

    them to work, starting with the senior person

    signed up.  If enough people did not sign up

    they draft people with the least seniority on

    up, until they have as many as they need.

     

    This is what seniority is for.  You paid your

    dues to work, or to have off, as you choose.

    Make your choice.  The newer people will

    have their choice when they have paid their

    dues.  Look out for number one, because

    no one else will.

  16. Loan money to family?

    in Dumpster

    Posted

     

    What are your thoughts on loaning $$ to family?  

     

     

    I'm not a loan company.  There are loan companies out

    there that you can go to.  I have my own expenses to

    deal with.  I have no problem looking people dead in the

    eye and telling them, "No".

     

    And, the owners of the following, are spot on.  It you feel

    compelled to give it.  Give it as a gift.  If you get it back,

    then good.  If you don't, you didn't expect to.

     

    ...if you decide to loan it, basically write it off right away from the get go.  

     

    Never "loan" money to family. If you cannot afford to gift it to them, you can't afford to loan it to them.

     

     If I'm in the position to just give out money it's going to be a gift

     

    ...if I can live with never getting it back, then I'm fine with it.

     

    Loaning money to family never ends well... Unless you go into it with the expectation of never getting it back.

    If you can afford to never see it again, then go for it.

     

    The lesson I've learned is it is better to gift a certain amount vs. loaning money to a family member (or a good friend) because in most cases, they won't pay you back.  

     

    And this is the one I like the best.  Pay a little now

    to not be bothered by them asking for money again.

    And if they ask again after not having paid you from

    the first time, get mad.  Get real mad.  Go ballistic

    on their asses so that you insure they will not ask

    again, and they will know exactly how you feel about

    it.

     

    He skipped town without paying. My Dad was right. When I told him, he told me that I just payed for an excuse to never give him money ever again.

    The bike is used.  It is worth only what a buyer

    would pay for it on the open market.  Check

    what that bike has sold for with that mileage.

    Actual sales will back up your claim to what

    the bike is worth. 

     

    Items added to the bike are also used.  If you

    can find sales figures on eBay to support their

    value, you will have a leg to stand on.

     

    You are not owed replacement value of this

    vehicle because the chance of duplicating

    this vehicle with used parts is possibly slim.

    You are owed market value.

     

    Possibly you can strip from the bike what you

    could sell and settle on a price for what is left.

     

    Medical?  This is the reason I would have had

    an attorney involved from square one.  The

    longer you wait to show medical needs, the

    less they will recognize those needs as being

    legit.  Bike value and medical are two separate

    things.  You can settle on one but the other

    remains alive until you settle on it.  You possibly

    could make up for some of the loss on the bike

    by what you could receive for pain and suffering.

     

    Talk to a lawyer and don't sign anything from

    the insurance company.
