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?"

You are going to charge him a lot more for labor (hourly rate) than last time?
Right?
After all if he can afford a $140K boat what's an additional five hundred or so on your bill?

We call it "time in the unit" charge. You know, research, thought. You need to do that so if it comes back with a totaly unrelated problem (that you WILL be blamed for) that you had nothing to do with, you will have been properly " retained ".

Ok guys heres the deal I went out to detail the bike getting it ready for sale. After it was in the sunlight some .... mechnical things started to be ugly..... Like broken rear brake switch,,,, more rust than I had anticipated,,,,,The original chrome pieces were gone and all we had were these gaudy gold parts...YUCK.. Charge up the battery and give a little gas. .... No fuel pump pressure at all!!!!! @#$%#%#%!!!!. As I mull aroung I find the rear master empty. then the front master banjo line bolt cover ripped. The grips wasted, these just desicated in my hand. Left foot peg looks bent back??

She does not want to put any money in it now. So I told her that I would just buy it outright for the original $1,000. Right now she has a semi-pretty boat anchor.

This just goes to show that you should just take'em and run like hell.......Never look back.
