but it NEVER hurt the bikes because they were bulletproof!

Totally missed the news about you needing/moving to a bigger space - Sweet. Glad to hear things are taking off so well.

Definitely time for a track outside... Though many a tear filled story has begun "Well is was on my 50 and..."
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Pretty cool [thumbsup]

That's pretty much how it works, although we're able to go a little faster these days ;)

I interviewed a guy today.  I offered him a job and I hope he takes it.

He's been at the same place 8 years and makes under $25k.  On that he supports a wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs.

I have no idea how.
