  1. I can't remember who it was that bought some of my hangers that had problems with them mounting to Shearers. I think he ended up using some washers or something to get it spaced correctly.
  2. LOL I know a couple of women fabricators/welders that do pretty damn good work. I just don't know about this one.
  3. Its a nice thought, but I think this year I'll be stuck working. Again. I should hit St. A. a few times this year though. We usually start around Memorial Weekend or so, and maybe once in Sept/Early Oct. since we camp rather than get a room in town or have a trailer.
  4. Cool. When I wrecked my Banshee they schooled me on buying back a totaled vehicle. They said if I totaled my banshee, then bought it back then dumped 10g in to it I'd get nothing if I wrecked it again. What you gonna drive then if you sell the truck?
  5. If I remember right, once the insurance company "totals" it, and you buy it back, you can't get insurance on it again. I'd check it out before you put the hardwood dance floor in it.
  6. A hot woman is a great selling point, but I seriously doubt she is a "builder" of the bikes. I'd like to see what her hands look like. I know what mine look like from working with steel all day lol. And she doesn't have that tired leave-me-the-fuck-alone-Ive-been-working-all-day look to her face. You think if I got a set of tits like that I'd sell more parts? Cool site
  7. Thats what I don't get. You would think a dealer would get preferential treatment from a company like Skat Trak or Douglas rims. I emailed Skat Trak about some paddles, and I could have them here from Skat Trak in about a week UPS ground. Why couldn't a dealer get the same thing?? I think the dealer I bitched about just doesnt have it together. I just wish I knew how they got so big. They sell every brand of bike, Yam Hon Kaw Suz Bombardier blah blah blah including Harleys now between 3-4 dealerships. I think they hired someone to come in full time to keep the mountain of cash from tipping over and hurting somebody.
  8. LOL I started having a mid life crisis LAST year.
  9. 2 things I can see why they would be that expensive: 1. Stainless can be a bitch to machine. Chozen performance has some of the best tooling from what I've heard, but you still pay for the machine time. And whatever it takes to polish them. 2. Stainless isn't cheap. Its prices (in my area) have done the same shit aluminum had done. In some cases its 3x what it was 2 years ago. I don't think I could make a set of 16 lug nuts like that for $159. Thats $15.99 each, and they'd take alot more than 15 minutes for me to make. Thats why I have no plans to
  10. Happy Birthday man! Good to see someone else cresting 30.
  11. Years ago in Sand Sports magazine, some guy registered his Warrior in Oregon for on street use and they went around driving it in different states. Texas was one they didn't have a problem, as they claimed it was legal there, and of all places where it wasn't legal, Los Angeles. They had no problems driving it there. Got some funny looks though, and I'm sure eventually you'd get pulled over and rubber gloved.
  12. If the money order has been cashed, then you have just been robbed. It is FRAUD whether or not you use a Postal Money order I found out. If you MAILED your money order, then the Post Office is involved. Contact your local Post Master or Postal Inspector and talk to them about your situation if it doesn't get resolved.
  13. A buddy of mine had a problem with his banshee. Apparently from the factory there were some studs missing from the case and the case halves had seperated on our first dune trip with that bike. We go to the dealer, and ask for the mechanic. We talk to him, and the first thing he does is starts it. Then he asks my buddy what type of oil he's running in his gas. Then we point out the 1/4" gap in the cases and the sand thats all the way around it. They cleaned it out and reassembled it and thats it. No warranty at all, even though they told all of us that bought them that year (8 total) that they came with a 6 month warranty. Also, the guy got defensive when my buddy started yelling at him about what a bunch of bullshit it is that we go in there drop around $65K for bikes gear etc....and they run him around on his bike. The "mechanic" told us "They don't pay me enough for people to just show up and call me a dick head" Later that day, talking to a sales person, we find out HE WAS THE OWNER! That group owns 3 dealerships and I won't go to any of them. Buncha cockbags.
  14. Well, that would be a problem. If I remember right I shipped his swingarm to New Jersey. Perhaps one day we'll meet up in OK or something..... I'd like to see that thing run though.
  15. That happens all the time here at the dealerships. I don't bother with them anymore as I have too many other options to use. When I first bought my banshee they sold me a set of paddles. 2 weeks later when we take off for our first duning trip, a week after they said the paddles would be in, they were still "not here". A month later they show up....
  16. I'm not real religous, but I'm praying they empty their clips and reload on that fuck. People like that shouldn't be a burden on society for one fucken second, let alone steal peoples lives away. I know what I'd be thinking if someone did that to a member of my family and I can honestly tell you I wouldn't have a gun on me when I did it. Thats when shit looks premeditated.
  17. I have no idea what brand it is, but my dad just picked up a new 4.5 from Home Depot and its a grinding mother fucker. I wish I would have had that when I was first putting that drag frame together. It will for sure see more duty when I get more time. I've been using it to bevel edges of flame cut steel thats hardened from the cutting, and that fucker grinds that shit down so quick its amazing. I just wish I knew what brand it was. About $135 is what he paid for it Im thinking.
  18. I knew you had nothing to worry about. Blaine is a stand up guy. Hell, he's got to drive an Enzo for fucks sake. If he can be trusted to do that.......
  19. I think you're my new best friend. LMFAO!
  20. Don't tell me SlipKnot has another CD out?? I think I have 3 of them....is there a 4th?
  21. If you are okay with it once, you will have to be okay with it when it happens again. If you accept this you are setting a standard that she will know she can live by, and still have the best of everything for her. She can have you when she wants, and someone else when she wants, and you will still be there for her insecurities. And I'd be willing to bet the whole "killing herself" is a ruse to make YOU feel bad. YOU! THE GUY WHOSE GIRL FUCKED ANOTHER GUY!!! The whole fucking thing isn't about you, its about her fucking some other guy! And, if she does kill herself, it isn't about you obviously, its about her and what she wanted to do. Just like when she fucked some other guy. You have no control over anyone else in this world except yourself. Either you accept other people for what they are, and what they do, or you find someone else. I'd say dump her and find someone more mature that can handle being in a committed relationship that isn't going to blame alcohol for her misbehavings if you want to call it that.
  22. The radio stations in Utah suck donkey balls. I have no idea that Mudvayne is releasing anything.................. I don't even listen to the radio anymore it sucks so bad. If I want to hear something from the 80's then I'll listen to the "best of rock" station they have here. They are playing the same songs they played with they started up like 20 years ago.
  23. Applying a shock force to a magnetized flywheel may infact degauss it rendering it worthless.
  24. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Build her a cake or something.
