i have better things to do in life than make fun of retards, after a while it seems like i am just beating a dead horse. no matter what, there is always some dumbasses, and most of them are ones that i classify as either a tuner or "enthusiast" ie the ones that think they know more about their car than people who do this day in and day out.

i just go back to my little bubble surrounded by tools, parts, and customers that actually listen to their mechanic. life is much nicer now (and a wee bit more profitable, since everybody aint asking for shit to be done for free, wanting to get parts for cheaper than online, or taking years to pay for what they got.) finally being able to pay for most of the tools and equipment is a nice thing. although still being highly in debt sucks, its a motivator

Well I'm glad things are looking better for you these days. I know exactly what you're saying about everyone wanting something for free, or discounted.. IMO, you'll always get screwed in the end doing something like that. I hate to say that, but that's the nature of the beast in the modern worls. People are greedy, and selfish. My g/f is a perfect example.

Anyway, glad to see you're still alive and kickin'. I need to talk to you soon about something completely off topic in the near future. Has nothing to do with favors, handjobs, or pine cones.

Interesting about the motorcycle exhaust, so these exhaust laws technically apply to motorcycles as well? or just cars/trucks/etc..

Being loud on a bike has a purpose though, even if half of the tards on i4's rev every 2 seconds at stoplights to make sure everyone looks at them lol..

Loud pipes save lives.

On my last Kawi, it saved my life a few times. I almost got nailed by a city bus driver that wasn't looking where she was going.. Then again, now that I think about it, it was a city bus driver. I could be a rich man right now.

Nah.. I may have suffered some broken bones but I don't think I would be an amputee. It wouldn't have been worth it, by any means, but I'm sure the city would have given me a healthy pay day to keep quiet. lol

im not sure how loud pipes save lives...the only time you can hear those pipes while driving in a car..is when the bike is in front of you or right next to you....beyond that most people with thier air-tight cabins, a/c blasting and Kelly Clarkson cd's blasting on their giggawatt stereo's won't hear loud pipes anyway...

not saying its not true..just saying i find it hard to beleive

Oh I agree with you.. The reason i got my slipon was primarily because it sounds pretty good, but since hardly anyone looks for motorcycles, you might as well improve your chances of being heard..

..that and my bike sounded like a lawnmower/gokart beforehand..
