Holyman

I'm in IL and looking for something like this. Send me an email... [email protected] with a pic of what you have and what you want in trade and we'll work something out.

WOW just what I wanted!!! So do you want the soul food version of neckbone soup with okra in it or the south of the border version with the hoofs in it?

Does anyone feel like helpin' me out with that? I'll be happy to give you all the neckbones and oxtail soup you could ever want.

Yep from ILL but only since December 1st 1966

Woah I may be the closest one to you. I live near Gurnee Mills/ Great America. Anyway... since you are a rich boy {yes I know there are alot of million dollar homes in Barrington} you should have nothing to worry about I'm just messin' with you man. In reality, you should pay to get the title in your name. You will pay about $35 in tax. Here's why... You will not be able to insure it which is a must. The other thing is that if you ever plan to ride in wisconsin, you will need proof of ownership and proof that you paid tax. If you don't have that, you will need to pay tax to Wisconsin . Send me an email and we'll talk. Maybe we can get together and ride some time. [email protected]

fireman... I think rnbrad has it nailed. I have talked to Stuart Toomey in the past about building stainless pipes and he said he will NOT be doing it. He said it was too hard to work with. I think that if you went with a slightly thinner stainless, it may be easier to work with and with TIG you can weld anything. Motofast used to make steel and ss pipes. The unfinished stainless ones were called "works" finish and look just like raw steel. The other option was chrome. If you made all of your pipes "works" finish, you could kill 2 birds with one stone. People could buy them raw or they could be polished by you {the metal would have to be polished before chroming anyway} or the buyer could have them polished themselves {extra value for the buyer}. The other thing I agree with is the 2-1 pipe. This would be great for the guys with RZ tops. trail riders and guys who want low end grunt. I had T5 pipes and loved them but they rusted. I alsoi have 2-1 stainless pipes on my 95 and Trinity Stainless on my 99. The trinity pipe clamps are awesome with built in O rings and I'm sure it would be almost as easy to install as the swaged ends on most pipes where they clamp togther {stinger to pipe}. The Trinity silencer is a piece of artwork and a similal silencer would only add to the value. I have also researched spar arrestors and there are only 2 that are made for ATV's. The Sparky and I think one that FMF has. Here's the catch. The spark arrestor has to be approved by the Forest Service and they are not really open to doing the testing. If you could put a design together, it would still require alot of development to get it approved. Finally offering an inner ceramic coating or another coating { I can give you the details privatly} to prevent blueing. Since this would be applied from the "factory", you would be able to add value for a very small cost and make the pipes have a better resale value. I love R&D so let me know what kind of help you need and we'll git-r-done.

WOW... I thought slappin' yer momma was an automatic death sentence. I guess there is still mercy in this world

The president is the commander of the military. This guy wasn't even fit to be the commander of a business. Now if you put the average failed "entrepenaur" in charge of the biggest pot o gold in the world, who is he going to be interested in protecting? Only those who are sworn to sacrifice themselves to keep him in office. I never take the military for granted. In fact I would rather reserve their use for problems that are bonafide and not some wild goose chase in the desert based on bush's person crusade. BTW where the heck is Bin Laden? maybe he's golfing with bush on his ranch? Anyway... I may need some help with your definition of honor though. What part of this relates to honor? Are you calling volunteering honor? or is sacrifice honor? Maybe obedience is honor? You tell me.

There was a link to a page that had a couple hundred crash pics and now I can't find it. Can someone help a bruthu out?

Yeah I want that too. And I HAVE PAYPAL

MDS2106... You need any trades for those? Send me an email... [email protected]

Send me a pic of those rears too... [email protected]

Man I was gonna say that NYUK... WHERE DID YOU FIND THE FARLEY STUFF MAN??? I GOTTA HAVE IT!!!

You've got a point there. I guess all the successful nationbuilding in the world is successful because "peace and love" is just tried too often and has simply failed too many times. In fact it has been such a calamitous failure that I can't think of it every being tried once during my 38 years of life. I do however appreciate the great success of death, murder and mayhem. And the "violence for the greater good" mentality really should be adopted by all. You have really opened my eyes. I realize now that it's better to live in a violent world where shootings and killings abound since this is the basis for "civilization" than in a world where dumb ol' peace and love are the preferred methods of establishing "civilization". I'm not convinced that the people who voted for bush trust him. Many people who were polled voted for bush to give him the chance to "clean up the mess he started in the middle east". Yes I do seriously believe that bush would allow people to die on 911. Bush is the leader... the Commander in Chief of the military of this country. As such, he is sworn to protect the interests of the military and to use the resourses at hand to further his purposes. So far he has sent well over 1000 soldiers, men and women, to die in the incursion into Iraq and thousands more soldiers permantly injured. In addition to this it is said that over 100,000 innocent civilians have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is over and above the numbers that would have been killed by the oppressive regimes that were already in those countries. So in short, his job is sacrificing lives. Which UN was it that gave those reasons? Was it the one run by Hans Blix who had the longest duration over there as a weapons inspector and who said there were no weapons? Or was it the UN that advised bush not to invade a sovreign country because it is against international law, or was it the UN that bush said was useless and had no control over any decisions he was going to make? I'm glad you are not stupid enough to say it would be easy. No thinking person would say it is easy. And sure there are more options in this country than others. But isn't that the way it should be? Can you imagine a kid with rich parents not having enough food to eat or having to go live under a bridge. Citizens of the richest country in the world should have more benefits than every other country in the world. That being said, I want you to show us how it's done. I want you to take a couple days to locate the resources and develop the plan on how you will not just survive but successfully propel your broke family to being self suficient with money in the bank and the kids on the way to financial security. So here it is... You are a 35 year old white female that lives in the suburbs of a large metro area {you get to pick... LA, NY, Dallas, ST Louis, Miami etc.}. You have a part time job at a quick mart during school hours when the kids are at school. You make $7 an hour. You have no marketable work skills. You have $800 in the bank, your home is worth $75,000 you owe $60,000 on the house, $4,000 in credit card debt, you owe $2,000 on your family car and it did not pass the state emissins test. If you get stopped, your license will be suspended. Your husband {your highschool sweetheart and the only friend you have in the world} has just died after extensive health care with no insurance and you owe $20,000 in medical bills and burial expenses. You have 3 kids aged 6, 8, 10 that are healthy. You smoke a joint every couple days to relax, you weigh 211 pounds and you take cholesterol medication that costs $50 per week. Your utilities are $100 a month for phone, gas and electric. You are atheist and feel that all religions are child molesters. Your house payment, car payment, C card payment are due in 2 weeks and you need to pay for your prescription and groceries. Your family is all dead and your husbands parents diowned him and the kids because you and your late husband were drug users and they always said this would happen. You've got 2 weeks to pull yourself together. It seems you have a problem with reality all together.

Let me know the length on those springs. I have a supplier I use for my kicker springs. I got some nice stainless ones but they weren't a buck a piece. Will you be building any stainless pipes?

You may be right. After all the American Indians sure are loving all the past "white devils who speak with forked tongue" who invaded their home and put them all in exile, murdered their wives and children and stole all of their natural resources. This really is a valid question. If Bush was a decent person, he would have prevented it and much of the country would have denied it was going to happen and would have called him alarmist. By sitting there and doing nothing, he was able to sacrifice a few thousand lives and generate a nation of people to support increased arms spending {which nets his buddies millions of dollars a day} and the paranoid fits in this country that would produce such stupidity as the need to keep duct tape and plastic sheeting to seal up your home from terrorist attacks. And because he says he can help, millions of people have put faith in a greedy fool who is nothing more than a man like the rest of us. What else do you want to know? He should be executed too. I have no double standard and I have no party affiliation. Politicians must be held to the highest standard of US law and international law.

Then the responsable persons should be tried for treason and promptly executed. Well as an uneducated white boy from Chicago who has never been in enough sand to lose sight of the parking lot, it would be almost impossible. For the wealthiest country in the world with the highest level of technology, satallite imaging, GPS and WEAPONS INSPECTORS with specialized machines to find WMD's crawling all over the friggin' place, there is no excuse for ignorance. Now you're starting to understand

PUT DOWN THE JOINT AND STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER

Thanks for the props bro. If you or anyone else has a problem with my kicker mod, let me know.

I've got a DG bumper. I could use the twist or the spacers.

Is it a 2 stroke? How old is it? What brand is it? Where do you live? How much? Do you have the clutches too?

send me a pic of that summit bumper... [email protected]

I feel that most people are dishonest on some level... myself included. But I feel the more a person has to lose or gain, the more they will lie. I don't have much to lose and I hold myself to a very high level of integrity so I make every effort to be honest. If there is some mis-information that comes from me, it is completely accidental. Bush on the other hand is an oil baron, from a family of oil barons. An oil baron in office has been a long time coming so he has alot to lose. I think he lied about knowing about September 11, I think he lied about WMD's, I think he manipulated the election to get into office to begin with and as far as I'm concerned, if his lips are moving, he's lying. The fox is in the hen house and the fox may say he's a vegetarian and he may be. But he will always be a fox and fox's looove chicken. The thing about Abe too is probably true. Yet after all this time, he is still called honest Abe. What will they say about bush?

Well I can't comment of Minn but everyone who has even thought of running Illinois has been corrupt. Well except for Abe Lincoln. I think one of the biggest problems is people as whole get used to corruption and because they see everyone else doing it, they feel that they need to do it too and so since we're all doing it to some extent, it's easier to just do it a little bit more. For example, I feel that Bush has out and out lied about some very important things. Alot of people will say "sure he has but he had to because fill in the blank". I find it hard to understand why the "most powerful man in the world" would need to lie about anything. Lying is deception. It is a false, wrong and/or inaccurate statement made to make people think the opposite way of reality. How is that beneficial? Now alot of can gripe about SS but the priciples it was based on are very good. The problem comes in when people are dishonest. They lie about their disabilities, hardships etc. and they rationalize that they deserve what they have stolen. A poor single mother may think that she is entitled to these payments because her parents were uneducated, the uneducated may feel that they deserve these payments because they were prejudiced against, those who are prejudiced may feel that it is ok to cheat on their taxes because they had to work harder to support those who are uneducated. If you look closely you will see that it's all a cycle and the foundation for the cycle is personal corruption that has infected the populace. And here's the second part of the problem... distrust. People rationalize that they can trust themselves to do the right thing but they can't trust the next guy to do the right thing so why should they make the change and put themselves at a disadvantage. Their kids then learn that it's ok to be dishonest and the corruption becomes more deeply engrained. The problems of society are across the board and in my opinion will never make any permanent improvements for the better.

Well Push, I'd say that those people are criminals and deserve at least a couple weeks in jail to meditate on their fraud. Running for Senate really wouldn't work because I doubt you are sleeping with enough special interest groups to buy you into office. And we already realize that most people are apathetic about it all anyway. So what's the fix? I don't feel it can be scrapped all together but it too broken to work much longer the way it is now. Having a bunch of kids is not the answer either IMHO. Unless you are already wealthy or you get some sort of grants, the average person could never afford to send 4,6,8, kids to college. So you are right back at the bottom of the food chain just scraping to get by.
