Yeah, I went there once, and I wouldn't even let them look at my car, because I knew what the outcome would be. I just told the dude that I was planning to sell before I buy. I take getting low balled personally and would rather avoid the insulting experience all-together.

Sell your girlfriend, buy a new bike!

Shipping included? That's a good deal. Most places on eBay try to hit you up for at least $45 in shipping. I've seen shipping as high as $70 on tires.

I've seen sets of the 2CTs on eBay ranging from $289-$335. Pilot Powers I've seen hovering around $270/pr. Lucky for PrincessP (or anyone looking for a front tire), I have a brand new Pilot Power 2CT sitting in the garage that I'm looking to unload. Then all she would have to do is pay for a rear which may not be that bad of a deal.

+1 on the Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs. I put quite a few miles on my last set (circa 8K). The thing with dual compound tires such as the 2CT (and the Pirelli Diablo) is that the center of the tire carcass is composed of medium compound (for durability and traction) while the shoulder/corners of the tire are composed of a much softer compound for greater traction while cornering. As afore stated in this thread, successful cornering is more of a mental task than anything. You must brake early, and have confidence in WHATEVER set of tires that you're running, before leaning and accelerating. However, I've found the Pilot Powers 2CTs to be a very "confidence inspiring" set of tires.

Perhaps I will swing by each day at lunch and annoy them into giving me the scooter:scooter:

Ease up Yota. The BreastScooter is ALL MINE!!! I already talked to BigChief about getting it all "Murdered Out". I also contacted the guys at Sato Racing this morning, and a custom titanium exhaust is in the works. Moriwaki is also working on a large capacity airbox for it as well. That's right bitches and bitchettes... I'm building a 9 sec. scooter:D

+1 For Absentee Ballots. I mailed mine off days ago.

I should be there... Perhaps with some of that elixir in tow just in case.

I'm a Homicidal Real Estate Agent!!! J/K It's the combo of two nicknames that I had in College: Kruel Intentions, and MillHouse... Ergo KruelHouse

Interesting... Now by the same token, have any of the individuals belonging to this Mosque openly plotted or carried out any malicious, or petty acts against the people of the greater community? And if they haven't, yet they've endured petty vandalism, threats and jabbering... I'd say that they've been pretty tolerant of the individuals in their NW Ohio community. I think that to agree to disagree may be a good idea on the front that people will not change their views overnight (especially in a netForum). As the saying goes: "We're all just one EXPERIENCE away from a breakthrough." Perhaps it will take a positive experience or two with the culture that you loathe for you to embrace them. However, I also agree with JRMii in that I don't want this thread to die because it's certainly been eye-opening and educational. I actually got a pretty good History lesson out of it. I believe that as long as we can keep it cordial, and refrain from namecalling and other belligerent insults; this is nothing more than "healthy conversation." Peace and carry-on.

What is this "Fair" that you speak of woman?

JRMMii +1 on the "Floating Holidays". We have them (Personal Choice Holidays), and truth be told, I think they're great. Everyone gets a set number per year (outside of regular vacation days), to celebrate whatever they want. It's good if you want to celebrate "Good Friday"; or perhaps celebrate the life of a lost loved one. Hell, you could even use it to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving if you really want to, and it's no big deal. With an ever-increasingly large multicultural contingent within the workplace, I don't think that it will be long before the majority of our large corporations will move to this type of vacation structure, and it will trickle down to smaller companies from there.

Fonzie, I understand where you're coming from in "not knowing who's the enemy, and who isn't". However, living amongst the "enemy" is just a chance that you/we all have to take. It's not like we can just "kill" them all, for that would be genocide. Not to mention, since we don't know WHO is an Islamic extremist, and who isn't... The individuals who may be Muslim, or even just from a Middle Eastern country are often unfortunately mistaken and mistreated. I was a Sr. in College during the attacks of September 11th, and many of my friends and classmates (some Muslim, some not) were mistreated and harrassed on campus. What's crazy is that students were targeting ANY student that looked ANYTHING like the media's description of a terrorist. It didn't matter if you were Indian, Pakistani, or even Egyptian. It was a really sad and disheartening state of affairs. There was that whole "Look what your people did to us" mentality, and thus the innocent were unjustly persecuted. I feel the same way when I would talk to my late grandparents about racism and "reverse racism". The fact that they could sometimes not like/trust caucasians because of what happened in the past bothered me. It's not like the kid in my neighborhood who came over for dinner was the one who turned on the fire hoses and sic'd the dogs on you... Neither did his parent for that matter. I'm not saying that you, or any of us are to forget what was done... All I'm saying is that we always preach: "You're innocent until proven guilty", so let's start practicing that. As far as not trusting ANY of "them" is concerned... Well that's kinda like a caucasian woman clutching her purse and crossing the street whenever she sees an African-American male in her path (especially one between the ages of 12 & 40). Just because some people are living foul doesn't mean that the entire race/religious sect will follow suit. However, who you place your trust in is ultimately YOUR prerogative.

In all seriousness though... There had to be a story to accompany that blemish... Please share if possible. Peace, K.House

HAHAHAHA! Quoting Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers: "Tattoo over the lower back... Might as well be a target" Just messin' with you Queen...

+1,000,000!!! Not to mention, the fall is the best time to ride!!! (And given my current schedule, probably my only chance to ride). I won't be able to make it out, but hopefully week after next, I'll be good to go;)

+1,000,000!!! When I'm riding, I couldn't care less about calls, txt msgs, tell-a-grams, courier pigeons, or those little styrofoam cups with the string attached at each end. That isht can wait until I'm in a Zen-like state and am ready to respond to the world.

Queen and Yte: Thanks for hostin'... By far some of the most (legal/non-pornographic) fun that I've had all year! Can't wait for the next one (If I'm still invited)

That has to be the most God-Awful, Ugliest thing that I've seen all week!

Try this scheme:

Congratulations Guys!!!

What are you talking about? You guys ARE my life! I was just a lost, hapless soul meandering aimlessly through the streets of the 614 before O.R. came along.

See, you've just lost your "star" player!
