On no, I'm not a "lady" like that. It was so long ago that I don't think it counts for shit anymore. It's just something cool to know. Seeing as how some of them ended up in America, that doesn't sound like a happy story. :bigjoint:

I need a set of forks for my kids Minibike .. they are bent.. every set i see on e bay that will work go for Like $50 .. So I found a frame with forks and asked the guy if he would take the forks from the frame Toss the frame away (mind you I would pay for the whole unit) and The dude said NO .. WTF .only thing I can figure is that he is making a killing on the shipping ($45) opposed to $10 just the forks would cost ..
Fucking Scammers

No doubt, just keep looking, I needed a longer kickstand last year but didn't want to pay $75 or some stupid shit like that, and the one I needed magically appeared with perfect timing and including shipping only cost me $20.

I posted under motorcycles in craigslist "wanted kick stand.....blah, blah" and someone flagged it and had it removed. It pissed me off. A person with the part I want would be more likely to see it under motorcycles than under "wanted". Lame shit.

I rode mine twice yesterday. It was GREAT.

I'm back in the saddle again.....I'm baaaaack. I'm back in the saddle again.......

Since we sold the rebel, hubby wants the bikes backed into the garage, boy are my legs muscles sore from that, it's backing up an uphill slant. I'll have thighs of steel by the end of the summer.

My clutch hand is crampy and wussified, it needs to get with the program.

Just ride nice and slow through the country. Let her lead and set the speed. As she feels more comfortable she'll go faster.

I remember back when I thought driving 45 MPH was fast and scary, and I was scared of riding on the highway.

Now I prefer the highway, and the faster the better. :-P
