I've read enough of your posts to know how much bandwidth would be wasted were I to follow you into the realm of personal insults. I'll leave you with this final thought and will give you the last word. What does it say about a man when he strips out his own oil pan, "I've had a helicoil put in a stripped sump bolt. No worries." "Er, for sump bolt' in the previous posting, read 'the hole it goes into'. Obviously." and then the same man sits in judgment over someone else for making the same mistake? "Given his skill level, I don't think he ought to touch the thing himself, not at all." "Apposite" isn't the word I would choose. "Hypocrisy" is, however. The last word will be yours, old man.

In his quest for more power and more expensive bits to blow up he has visited a few of these establishments. He even coined a generic name for them. Before he actually visited, he was impressed not only by the products but also by the company names on the lines of "Imperial GP supplies" or "Wilsons Formula racing development". Now he calls them "Garden shed engineering". -- Ole Holmblad - G�teborgs Prima MCK / MK Pionj�r TDM850 / WR450F FL#44 OTC#489 UKRMSBC#08 SGFPTH#00 Remove hat to answer by mail

The thing is, it's mostly good stuff. -- BMW K1100LT 750SS CB400F CD250 CB125 SL125 GAGARPHOF#30 GHPOTHUF#1 BOTAFOT#60 ANORAK#06 YTC#3 BOF#30 WUSS#5 The bells, the bells.....

Jack Bondus is good people, and as I watched him work, > he impressed me as being one heck of a motorcycle mechanic.. I drop into RT&T from time to time, I try to buy the occasional oil filter, etc. there. I used to get my tires mounted there before I got my Harbor Freight tire machine. Jack always has a kind word for me even if I don't give them a heck of a lot of business. They are one of the few places I know of who are willing to work on older bikes. Jack just knows me as the guy with an SV and a Connie... Jack should *really* take a peek at his web page sometime. http://rttgasgas.com/ The premises are not much to look at either, there's basically no sign visible from the street, but they apparently do enough word-of-mouth business so putzing with signs doesn't appear to be a high priority. Not a problem for me, I just wish my barber hadn't moved out of the same building, I'd get to drop in at RT&T more often. PS Why does the smackovermotorsports forums have the RT&T logo and phone number at the top of the page? http://www.smackovermotorsports.com/bb/index.php http://www.smackovermotorsports.com/bb/images/misc/vbulletin3_smackover.gif -- '01 SV650SK1 '99 EX250-F13 '98 ZG1000-A13 OMF #7 |
