Anyways, you are too cowardly to do ANYTHING, well you could LIE yet again. But you really do not want to do that...that could end up with you in jail. They just LOVE your kind.

I am *so* not going there. Any evidence that I could possibly give would be regarded as *irrelevant* by one and all, especially Neil Murray. You do know that he went to university to become a lawyer, don't you? Lawyers are skilled at twisting statements around and leading witnesses through a forest of questions in order to arrive at the conclusion that they want to arrive at. So anything I could say about my experiences working on engines without expen$ive specialized tool$ would be twisted into something totally disrespectful and uncalled for.

My bet is that you're so not going there because you don't have anything to back up these claims of ownership and knowledgeable expertise. If this does you an injustice so be it. My experience says that people who repeatedly dodge answering simple questions are embarrassed by the truth. Being that this is a motorcycle group, let me start off with my answer to the same question. I own an '88 BMW R100GS that I bought 10 years ago and have put roughly 100,000 miles on. I'm pretty comfortable tearing it down and reassembling it, but have farmed out the head work and transmission rebuild to a friend who has a pretty good machine shop and does this kind of work in his garage. Your turn. |
