I'm fully expecting to see the entire side of the engine to be covered in plastic wrap. That would be super hilljack!

Then you should know that there is already a stupidly small plastic "funnel" under it already, that's obviously useless. You'll have to provide photographic proof that it's "that easy".

It better be in the I group this time.

Aaahhh....those were the good old days.

You fail at da interwebz buy game.

I second this. And this. Also, will everyone please stop rattling B's cage! I'm getting tired of reading his 40 paragraph long posts for crying out loud.

Given the source, I'd just stay away all together.

This is nothing new.

It causes Kawasucki's to crash a lot also.

Agreed! Now go post something somewhere else in case Isaac's Papa rolls in here and sees you still posting only about this.

Putnam is getting quite the reputation it seems like.

That sucks. If it didn't happen so early you could have blamed it on Craig for pouring shit on the track.

Ordering parts.....again. I'm afraid to even ask for the story.

He has a team of guys that do his suspension settings for him. He says it's doing this or that AND THEY make the changes. Geeze...act like you've seen an AMA race team work once in a while.

And Todd's bike needs to be ridden more than once every 2 years to be worth of track duty.

I'd trust him as far as I could throw him. You butt buddy Brian was there, why didn't you ask him?!?!

That's probably because it sensed your hatred for a real race bike. But this should make for a good story so let have it.

Here you go: http://tracktalk.nesba.com/showthread.php?t=25402 Offer him $100 shipped and you're all set.

I'd say to give them a call directly and get your questions about the oil answered. While you have them on the line ask about getting the oil at the distribution center directly at wholesale. Either way, if you need something just let me know. I'm planning on switching over the oil in all of my car at their next oil changes. I'm still not entirely sure about actually running my SS 10-15k miles before changing the oil when using it. But that's what they say can be done when using their oils....longer service intervals.

I have a friend that just bought some of their oil and paid the annual fee to get wholesale prices. Since you're in Cbus there is a distribution center there, so maybe you could order it through him and just pick it up down there. But I thought that you could go to the distribution center and buy it directly at wholesale pricing. I could be wrong but it might be worth checking to see if that's accurate. Let me know you want to try working something out.

In light of the timeline now fully exposed. There's either a lack of inter-departmental communication as previously posted or someone in particular has some real issues with how to deal with a customer. We'll never know if someone simply failed to pull down/end the auction after the deal was reached with the OP. Which is a simple error on IM's part and by all means an apology is due to the OP. Or the deal was made with the OP and since the auction was close to ending someone at IM thought it wouldn't make the reserve and let it run. But it did and now Steve is in a pickle because he has now made two deals on the same bike. Rather then ruin his rep. on eBay he chose to rescind on his deal with the OP. Either way, it's good to know that if you're going to deal with IM that you should have the all the "t"s crossed and "i"s dotted. I don't know that this would keep me from dealing with them, just that I need to be prepared for any deal made to be broken...verbal, in writing, etc.

That's a great way for an airline to screw your plan. I have to say though, that I've been there and done that with as much travel as I've done. I would have demanded that they put you on the very first plane that left the tarmac heading to Cbus the next morning.

The entire thing changed some time in 2004, after that they all should be the same outside and in.
