My bad brah. I'm not aware of the rules of FTR! I figure you can just give out a battle cry before you do the fucking.

But you're correct though. I will be overpaying when I do order for the convenience of things being shipped to my door.

Yeah, any place of business can ship an item. It has gotten incredibly easier since the invention of addresses. Technology is pretty cool.

That is hilarious. Normally I just get the price checkers, having me price out every part on the bike just in case they think that is what it is. Usually they decide it is the cheapest part first.

I get the price checkers every day asking: "My check engine light is on, how much will it cost to fix it?" Well, let's see. There's about 2000 things that can cause that light to come on. It will cost somewhere between $50 and $10000 to fix.

Me too. I seriously don't understand how people can be so stupid and ask these questions. Retail takes patience, and mine is wearing thin the older I get.

Yes or some charming family photos like half of my female customers have stuck all over the instrument cluster. Who needs to see those silly warning lights or oil pressure and temperature gauges anyways?

I don't think any of the warning lights work on the 82 Camry. I'm just waiting for the day it blows up.

Missed the UPS guy yesterday but I should be getting the new GSXR rectifier/regulator today. Then the Gixxer will rise again! I hope.

I used the chart and I am 98.2% sure it was the rectifier. I just hope that the new one is better than the old design.

It's all over the Gixxer forums as the damn Gixxers have the same issues.

I found that chart in 1999 or 2000 I think. I had to use it twice on my ZX-6.
