I wouldnt ride, id wanna hit redline in every gear, drag my knee on every corner, and grab the brakes till my eyes came loose.


You get unemployment? Maybe you got fired for a ****ty reason, wrongful termination case? Most women do suck, gotta find the right one, and at least on your way to the right one you score some *** and puss.

Seems like the best time to invest, cheap stocks which should go back up.....someday. Ride your bike to the gym, throw some heavy weight around and then cruise home. You're bike is so sick, no one can take that away, just take good care of her.

Txn im an auto tech of 18 years. No wrongful termination, and im sure i can get unemployment if needed. I was the most experienced guy at the shop, which meant i was the highest paid guy at the shop. Well its privately owned, and the owner had to make cutbacks i guess. So he could let go of 2 scrubs or 1 of me. So here i am.

Timmy, thanks for the compliment, and its paid for now, so its not going anywhere

Sorry ol buddy...that really sucks man. I'm tired of the gas,taxes,bailout,corruption,deficit crap myself. What abunch of sh*t and we lose our jobs for it. Maybe a silver lining...if your boss was willing to let you go for junior guys...you might be better off in the long run [&:]

I guess i should elaborate on the ticket too. I was just kinda foul earlier so didnt feel like gettin into it. But on the way home from work i got pulled in the car.

Speeding 68 in a 65 $89
No front license plate $129
Illegible sticker on rear plate $129
Window tint $186
No seat belt $10
Loud exhaust $206


This guy definatly saw me coming, sheesh.I guess the only good thing out of all of that is there are no *fix it* tickets. Just pay it and be on my way. Its a good thing too, cause i wouldnt have fixed it, i love my baby just how she is

There is always work for auto tecks... more true when the economy is crappy. People stop buying new and drive older cars longer and that means more repairs. Your boss will realize he made a mistake cutting someone with your experience...that will bite him on the ***.
It is good to hear the bike is paid for. I have weathered tough times and managed to keep the bikes too.
I ride to clear my head sometimes... you have to live in the moment and the worries seem to melt away.

Jesus man, sick car! You must be rocking some flowmaster 40s or the SLP loudmouth for him to be that pissed! 600+ dollars for one stop, what the hell did you say to that guy?
