DT "say anything" thread

<waiting somewhat patiently for it to come>  

Called and spoke to the robot on Gene's phone.

[DRKWNG]

Gene, just sent you an email with a link to a google map to my house.  The house number is 1836 Madrona Place, and there is a black VW GTI (with roof rack) parked in front of the garage.  Let me know if you have any issues opening the file.  Thanks!!!

I have lots to do today in order to get the bike weighed, safety and registered...

you have a progress report?

[DRKWNG]

you have a progress report?

Yep. State of Hawaii SUCKS!

[MadDuck]

Yep. State of Hawaii SUCKS!

That's because the State of Hawaii is anti-progress.

Tell me about it.  So far they want the original (not a faxed copy that I have) MSO for the bike as well as it being weighed, even though the MSO has the weight listed and I am exempt from paying the local weight tax.  THEN, they want me to take the bike down to recon to verify that it is actually what the paperwork says it is.  I asked what the purpose of this visit was and the lady stated "so we can have the VIN on the bike verified against the VIN on the paperwork".  I told her that the bike was sitting right outside in the parking lot and we could go check it if she would like, to which she replied "I am about to go on break".  WTF is up with that?  I think from here on out, I will use that going on break line anytime someone asks me to do something for them.  Wonder how far that will get me...


And on a slightly different topic --  Did the brake pads for the VW come in yet Rick?  If so, think I might be able to swing the car down to you on Saturday so I can get them on? 

[MadDuck]

The brake pads are here so let's do it. I have to do some small stuff on the 240D and the SL anyway. Plus the usual light duty customer pick up and shop paperwork. If we're lucky we could still get an afternoon ride &  done.

It makes a little noise.

Ok, let me know what time to be down there.  Are you going to need any help with the two mercs?

so anyway, I had a thought.

buddy of mine (who, incidentally was the one who talked me into the duc) has this 01 R6 sitting at his parents place...

if/when I sell the girl, I was thinking his bike might make for a fun rebuild/hooligan project.

I know, I know... but he hasn't touched the thing in years, and when I was laying the spanish inquisition on him, he pretty much said "make an offer and it's yours." which was before I even thought to sell my bike.

tags are long since expo'd, so I could really just park it and take it apart... make it a long-term sort of thing, before even having to think about reg and insurance

[DRKWNG]

^  Yea maybe so, but you know at the end of the day you will have done make the beast with two backs all with it.  Why bother?  Just keep, and ride, your Ducati.

forget I said anything.
