Welcome, that was one hell of an introduction. Multiple breakdowns, repairs, credit/cash card issues, impact with curb, evading LEO's, auto vs bike accident, amputation, purchased second bike, change color to aid in evading LEO's.... Did I miss anything?
You are gonna fit right in with this group of nut jobs.... :good2:

Yes it was. In fact, I gave up about half way through.

You seem to be surprised by this.
Here's some counseling.
Fuses are there for a reason. Don't bridge them when they blow.

EXTREMELY DIPLOMATIC reply, Pat. Were you at any time an elementary school teacher? Maybe some kind of therapist? Anyway, I admire your...uh...tolerance.
Oh.....welcome Kenmar.
How about we start with....
Step away from the bottle. :rofl2:
Where is Klavdy????
EM
havnt seen him or arny much since they had a disagreement on here
Is he related to Nick AKA Irishluck? Just asking :biggrin:
could be the same person , havnt seen them at the same time :lol:
Ken that really sucks, but what sucks even more is you probably broke down about 1/2 hour away from my house.
If I had known I could have helped you get your bike fixed and back on the road.
If your FJ is red and white don't worry about the cops around here........they tried to catch that FJ a few times and got embarrassed each time. The last time that FJ pulled out and passed them they didn't even chase, I think they gave up.
