  • So, what do ya wanna talk about today?
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Nice.  Watching that I was thinking "If you have to ask about the price, you probably can't afford it."

towards the end i thought it was a joke, when they kept opening panels with more crap it got a little snl.  but sure enough  for only $2,900 this can all be had.

Wow, that's less than I would have guessed.

Still can't afford it though  :D

$2900 for THAT thing???  Can't afford it.

$2900 for the right motorcycle?  No problem.

I guess it's all about priorities.

That's a sweet little gadget but the remote looks too over the top.  I'll wait to get one until it responds to voice commands.  :)

WTF would you guys do with that???...As I watched,a bunch of different ideas came to mind. I think it would be a good poll for the club.

Man, that's better than the story I heard, that Fred was doing 30 days for raping a horse................ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

It wasn't a horse, but it was a four legged thing that got Fred in trouble. ;D
