I prefer "In 'er," as in "hey Jed, you wanna buy my bike?" and Jed says "shoot, I dunno. How much you got in 'er?"

One way or another, that R* is very sweet looking and I wish the guy luck selling it.

Re:Nice roadstar here 9 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Several points there JBubbs:

  • "you guys" aren't complaining, I am complaining.

  • Opinions vary as to whether the bike kicks butt or not and that's debatable. I personally wouldn't have the bike.

  • I only mentioned that he used incorrect terminology for the vast amounts of $$ he dumped into this project because he characterized the expenditures as investments, not as the amount of money he actually spent on the bike.

  • You claim that no one is listening here, but obviously someone is listening to me (YOU) since you felt compelled to complain publicly about my post rather than send me a private message.

  • My comments never challenged his choice to customize his bike so I have no idea what makes you think I have an issue with it. My post was regarding his use of the word investment to try and justify spending an obscene amount of money on a motorcycle that he's now about to potentially lose at LEAST $30,000.00 on.


  • Spend all you want on anything you want, but don't try to pass off spending it as a wise financial decision when in fact it's just spending your own money on something and never expecting to make it back. Saying he invested $40K in this project implies that there is at least that much in value. Clearly that's not the case since his reserve price is only $10K.

    3. bitching
    Repeatedly saying something over and over, or rather whining about it, therefore destroying the point you were trying to make and making you look like a complete bitch because no one is listening to you.

    And then to do it on this site where we all customize our bikes to our own liking
    Where's the bitch police in all the oil threads?

    I like it enough I'd pay the 10. I'd even step up to the buy it now price and pay the 12.

    I'm turning it over in my head now.

    I'd do it 'cept I just committed to buying a Honda Odyssey van next week.

    Still....
