  1. Happy Birthday Beaver!! Golly gosh.....I can't believe you're another year older!
  2. That sounds like a hell of a deal Chuck. BUT WAIT.....THAT'S NOT ALL!! If they order now, we'll throw in a SECOND set of pix, "sight unseen".......All for just $19.99 But you MUST act now!! Just pay processing fee
  3. Get in now folks.......Special "Pre" deal.....Chuck'll send you your pix/vid for $60 from now until he posts them...."Sight unseen" They'll be $15 per once he posts them & you can see how crappy they came out Kev....good seein' ya' again today. Quit causin' trouble parkin' on the mounds, and next time lift the shirt so we can see the "mounds"
  4. Group of us is headin' down to Mid-OH as well. We'll be rollin' in around 2 if all goes as planned
  5. They've always taken pretty good care of me in the past, whether it's discounts on merch or Service squeezin' me in on short notice to help me out.....but I was pleasantly surprised today & wanted to give them some props. Needed a new clear shield for my Scorpion helmet before tomorrow's ride. End of last season I noticed it had these lines/streaks &/or film to it. Tried cleaning it then, and scraping off whatever the film was with my fingernails....Didn't seem to help....In fact, may have made worse. Getting cold out, so I let her sit the rest of the winter. Figured it may have been from putting RainX on it the last few seasons, as I've heard from some on the XX board that it can screw up tinted visors. Took the whole helmet in to AP to see if maybe they had some other kind of glass cleaner/scratch remover that might save me from havin' to shell out $$ for a whole new shield. Jason, the parts kid/mgr, who for some reason always remembers my name as soon as he sees me and hooks me up on discounts, takes a quick look at it before I can even finish tellin' him what I want.....Tells me hold on a minute & disappears in the back. Comes out a minute later with a brand new shield on her, complete with peal off OEM label. I kinda laughed & asked how long Scorp warrantied those for, and he just said "Ehhhh....I don't even know. I just had a bunch of them in back, so it's no big deal" I also needed a new cargo net, as part of my old one burnt/melted on the can last year. He went in back & grabbed me one. Sticker said $11.....He rings it up & tells me $7! He had just told me their Customer Appreciation Day/Open House is May 31st this year, but I told him it must've come early for me today!! Few years ago too, before Jeff died.....We were goin' ridin' one day & he felt like his chain needed tightened, so I took him down there. Shane, the guy who's worked on 'Birdy before, stopped what he was doin' & came right out, tightened Jeff's chain even though he didn't know Jeff from Adam, then lubed both mine & his......For NO CHARGE!! I know some up here complain they're too high on their bike prices, and that they won't negotiate, but I can't complain about how they've treated me, and they must be doin' somethin' right, cause they picked up Suzuki two years ago, and I see the same kids workin' there now for 5,6,7 years. There's only been one time when I felt like their service quote was out of line, and that involved Sam & some custom rotors he wanted to bring in for them to put on Based on how they've taken care of me in the past....I always give them the courtesy of first shot at my business
  6. Ewwww....Ewwwww.....I got dibs on umbrella girl for someone!!
  7. If that's true, that definitely throws a wrench in the works... sounds like I'll be hitting Mohican up sooner than expected. Ummmm....Yeahhh. We might be joinin' you Justin. Gonna suck though....I've never been to Mid-OH & was really lookin' forward to finally checkin' it out. Tell mom & dad to set a couple extra places, 'cause the DTC's comin' for din-din I thought Lizard said earlier in this thread that gettin' in wasn't a problem? Yeah....Like that one "artiste" who'll charge you $60 up front for sight unseen This must be another one of your "inspirational" posts I've heard you're famous for Pauly
  8. Is this the one we talked about last week? I thought that was Mem Day weekend?
  9. It'll print the 2nd side fine, as soon as I pull out the biz cards & just let it print on paper And it'll feed the biz cards, and the printer head acts like it's printing on them, but it comes out blank for the 2nd side
  10. I'll try that Case.....But if that's what it is, then why'd it print OK on the one side? And Ben...........
  11. OK.....So obviously now, you were makin' fun of me
  12. Thanx Jeremi....Have to check it out for future Kinda wanted to get these printed now though....Especially since it's givin' me a hard time. Can't let the machine win BTW.....You get that props I sent you for the new siggy avatar? Me likey!
  13. Are those some kind of tecky jokes I don't get that are making fun of the user???
  14. How the hell'd you find/read/answer this so fast? I JUST posted it 30 secs ago????
  15. Picked up some Avery 27881 business cards the other day (template 8371). Matte white....Box says "Heavyweight cards with premium print quality on BOTH sides". Printer is HP Office Jet d series. I've never printed biz cards before One side is printing fine.....Can't get the other side to print for love nor money. Won't print...won't print....won't print....take the biz card sheet out....prints just fine on paper.....Stick sheet back in.....WON'T PRINT Done this about a dozen times now. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, & getting VERY frustrated Anyone have this problem before/Know what I'm doing wrong?

  20. Wow!! Those before & after pix are amazing.....Nice job Max!! You'd never know it's the same room
  21. Pauly??.....Inspiring?!? He's one of the biggest smart a$$es on here
  22. .....I still remember him to this day and I dont take one trip on my bike where what happened to him does not cross my mind. It was 2 years ago Monday that we lost Jeff. IIRC, it was a week or 2 before I got back on the 'Bird again....And then it was a very short ride....and very "forced".....i.e, I didn't really enjoy it that time. I'm still nervous/scared every time I get on the bike now."Am I being selfish? What if this is the last time I see the kids & wife? Did I give them all kisses & tell them I love them? If I'm that worried about all this.....Why am I going riding right now? Am I being selfish?" 2 years later, & that's still my thought process every time I climb on the bike & turn the key. Sounds crazy, I know....But it is what it is. Got the full court press from wife & mom when Jeff died.....Especially since I'd been lucky enough to walk away from my own a few years earlier. I've come to decide it's not so much selfishness, as it is I can't stomach the thought of letting that fear make the decision for me. If I don't ride anymore, then I let the fear win. Maybe that battle within me though is selfish in itself. Too much pride &/or ego to give in to the fear
