WOW, hope you at least get paid a crazy amount for your time.

unfortunately, i'm making less than half what i was making as a mechanic.
i need a job in a shop!!

I got to watch an idiot in action

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Must be Friday.

Pulled up to the stoplight in the left turn lane, over to the right side of the lane. Mr. casual Friday, I-can -ride-in -my -leather-vest-today pulls up next to me in the left portion of the lane. Light turns green, he guns it and does a nice low side on the gravel strewn road. That's gonna cost some money and a few bandages.

Being I have little tolerance for idiots, I rode past him. Must have seen where I pulled into, because he shows up 5 mins. later. He gets off the bike and starts yelling at me. "Why didn't you stop and help me?"

I told him that this road always has gravel on it, but he probably doesn't notice driving his car every day. And you don't go ahead of someone that was there before you were in the first place. And it's not my fault you have no gear on and only ride to work once a week. And stupid hurts.

I asked why he gunned it in the first place, and he said he didn't want to get wet. It wasn't raining, just spitting, and there's one small dark cloud overhead.

He gassed it as he left, rashed up pretty good.

You should have just told him, "you can't fix stupid so theres nothing I could do to help" and then turn and walk away.

[A2rider]

I felt kinda bad. I think one of his patches got ground up on the slide.

That hardly seems fair.

Why such crappy pay?

[Saleenguy]

My rant of the day.

Companies that build total junk for after market parts.

I have wasted a lot of time today working on a customers bike, attempting to install parts, that do not fit worth crap.

He paid a lot of money for these junk parts that don't fit, and even if they did are of such poor quality, that they would be useless anyways.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[A2rider]

Universal fit? LOL

No, they are supposedly model specific.
But this company only seems to build crap.
I have numerous times had to deal with products from them, and every time it is pure garbage.

I finally made him some parts myself, and told him to send the stuff he bought , to have me install, back to the maker.

FYI, never buy anything from a company called happy trails, its just over priced garbage.

[A2rider]

So happy trails is only in the movies?

Must be a subsidiary of Emgo.

I have never tried a Molson Golden....shall I assume from your post they are good?

My day sucked....oh well tomorrow is another day, and hopefully its better.

I sure could use an ice cold beer right now.....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[LoudFastUgly]

Molson Golden 'Golson' is a 70s brand. Not many drink it anymore, it has a strong flavour and moderate alcohol level (5.5%).

My buddies ask me:

if the beer store charges extra for the dust
if i found the box holding a door open
where my time machine is.

For my weakened (weekend?) tastebuds, it's the finest beer going.

I will have to jump in my delorean and zip back in time, grab me a few to try sometime.

I like trying new ( to me ) beers.

I've tipped a few Molson's in my day, it's not bad, a little heavy on the raw hopps which makes it a bit on the bitter side, but not bad.
Reminds me of an IPA without the medicine aftertaste.

I prefer the darker roasted-hopp beers, with more malt, even better if they toast the malt first.
