I don't know if a Picard meme with "why in tarnation" is offensive or funny.

That's a pretty decent deal in today's market. I paid $21,500 for mine, paid $900 for the 5 year extended (8 year total) warranty and got 60 months @ .9% for a brand new 2018 Tour model. Those deals are long gone. Thank you to the ignorant slag that crashed into us last year.

Just wanted to bump this thread and remind you all to buy your kit from these guys if you are able. All of my riding gear, with exception to my over-priced, ego-inflating BMW gear, has been purchased from RD. I just purchased new helmets for Isaac and his girlfriend for their impending motorcycle purchases this spring. I think Isaac is set on the Rebel500 and his gf is looking at baby Ninjas. My apprehension is high, but at least I know they'll be wearing quality Shoei lids. When it comes time to purchase the rest of their riding gear, I'll be knocking on RD's door once again. Just wanted to say thanks to them for always coming through for me when I need fresh gear. You guys rock.

Yep. That's why I'm still slumming around on the BMW.

Ah.. Ted Cruz. Nothing says "Vote For Me" like bailing to a foreign resort when your constituency is left to freeze to death due to Texas' ever-failing, infrastructure. You know why they say "Don't Mess With Texas"? Because if you fuck with it, it is likely to break. Talk about bailing wire and duct tape...

My truck has a 36 gallon fuel tank. It always cuts me off at $100 and leaves me 3/4 full.

Yep. Rode Jim's on a Monday. Drove to northern Illinois on Friday to pick it up. If I could find a deal like the one I made with mine, I'd have another in the garage tomorrow.

I'm going to make my own convoy and anyone that cannot finish a complete sentence without spitting into a Mt. Dew bottle has to ride in the back.

@NinjaDoc

You've either been married too long, or just long enough. Either way, the right call was made that day.

Thanks for the invite. It was good to see you guys. Nice to meet you, Ben. Let's do another soon.

Same old crusty cheese under the skin.

I didn't say you were worthy. I said you could ride it.

I'd be happy to scare the shit out of myself on your barn burner. You're welcome to ride my Bavarian creme puff.

Consider me RSVP'd.

Well, next time start with that so idiots like me know to stay in our lane.

It was a joke, @Howabusa

Online, man.

I wasn't disparaging the 1200 Bandit. I was saying throwing beauty money at a stock header pipe might not be a worthwhile endeavor.

So negative. Must be a Jeep thing and I wouldn't understand.

Sure, but it's a naked streetbike.

Yanked the cover and thumbed the starter. Fired up like I just rode it yesterday. I'm quite ready for 2022.

Scotchbrite and SOS are pretty cheap. I would attempt to clean the header myself before I paid someone to coat it. It's just a streetbike, when it's all said and done. The exhaust is going to look like every other exhaust after a season or two, anyway.

Have we picked a day?

But would you pay money for a replica of a starship built by a civilization that progressed beyond the need for currency?
