AMS Demo Day Part Deux

[calscrazy]

Having spent a good portion of my life working at the Crowley Courthouse I can indeed testify to the bad neighborhood and bad drivers. Staying late on weeknights and working weekends definitely deserved combat pay.

working.......you mean serving time!!

i dont think there is a whole lot jeff can do about parking,etc. around there. probably the smartest thing would be for us to park across the street in that lot or talk them into doing more of their stuff in alvarado. maybe not race watches but at least demo's. it much funner to shoot down 917 to 2738. go down a ways then turn around and come back. is the young lady going to be fine or is the hospital just saying that because if she has to have some form of back surgery they never have to stop having them.

Serving time might actually have been a better job.

[muskrat]

at the very least the City should help with something.  Maybe make it a two-lane road or something.  shit, they want to revitalize that area and crap like this isn't going to help at all.

I heard the breakfast is pretty good

and the flip flops.  I'll bet Fastwin still has some left over he uses while cleaning his stable of iron ponies.

It's not. The hold over cells were kept so cold that the inmates would wrap their arms in toilet paper to keep warm. The bolonga sandwiches and bug juice drinks were to die for I'm sure. Jail: it sucks, it's supposed to.

[muskrat]

I can think of better punishment for some of those inmates.
you know, public lashings, testicular removal in public for child molesters.........blah blah blah blah.

hey I'm with you on this one.... like I said .. make it PPV and charge $100 to watch the execution... shit I'd even pay $20/day for live streaming of the torturing of the pedo

[Giannis]

Sorry but the "Area is shitty" and that was the reason for the accident doesnt make any sence Accidents like that happens all the time everywhere from Preston to Oak CLif and White Rock lake to FortWorth... You cant blame the location because this dumbass did a u-turn...

The other day a car run over a house in Plano.... that must be a really shitty area... right?



Jeff Cant do much about it City regulations are so F-up around there.... He cant even put a  good billboard over his Shop and you talking about poles on the parking area...

good to hear that the city of dallas has their priorities straight.

I think Chris' idea of hosting race watch parties and demo rides at AMS-Alvarado is an excellent short term solution.  A Saturday ride out to Alvarado raises the blood pressure a lot less than the Cuisine Art blender that is downtown on any given day.

But long-term, an encouraging sign for the future of AMS-Dallas is just to their North at the corner of Market Center Blvd and Oak Lawn Avenue.  Has anyone else noticed the high-end, three story condo complex under construction on the southeast corner of that intersection?  Looks like it should be open by this Fall.

That area where AMS is now is prime property for the urban revitalization/reclamation that has been going on down there for quite a while.  The Trinity River project will help speed things along too.  So I imagine over the next 5 or six years those vacant buildings and, how shall I say... less than desirable businesses will be gone. 

This speculation is obviously no solace for everyone involved in Saturday's melee - nor is it intended to be (see my previous post for that) -  but big changes should be sweeping through that downtown area soon.  In the meantime, AMS-Alvarado for group events could be better utilized.

maybe now they will reconsider?

Just got off the phone with the truck's insurance company - not the driver of the truck but the company that insured the truck - they haven't accepted liability yet - turns out the drive may not have been covered because the owner of the truck had a restricted named driver policy - this is turning into a f'ing nightmare and I can't get anybody to tell me how much I'm going to get for my bike.

[DLSGAP]

maybe its time to lawyer up...

In all seriousness, it sucks that they may not even accept liability for the accident... its pretty obvious who was at fault.

Huh? Who's not accepting responsibility?!?

The truck was liable for making an unsafe turn, & the car seems liable for traveling at an unsafe speed. Those are the only people who would have any liability...
