am i nuts? my family seems to think so
« on: March 11, 2010, 12:44:28 PM »
so i can afford to get the new exhaust for the 750 by the end of the summer rather than november or december, i'm switching us back to dialup internet from the dsl lite we have now, 20 dollars a month i'll be saving. i'm told that i let the motorcycles and my thoughts about them to rule my life  :D  possibly but this way i will wait around 4 months less. i know i could sell a guitar to pay for the exhaust but i'm finally at the point where all of my guitars are keepers, i'll not sell any one of them, even the new-to-me acoustic alvarez which i've gotten to love in the couple of days i've had it. i AM getting the cyclex 4-2-1, decided against the carpy exhaust, partly because of cost partly because the 4-2-1 is likely more suitable for a nearly stock 755 cc motorcycle. 399 for the exhaust and only 15 for shipping is the way to go i think, i just dont like the look/sound of the kerker i imagine the bottom/mid range torque will improve with the 4-2-1 as well.

Now those 4 months you save will be spent waiting for a website to download and you can say goodbye to all that porn too. ;D ;D ;D

To the casual observer many of us may seem to be nuts. Sometimes we don't have to share all our plans with everyone.

Try finding 20 -40 hrs of "work" between now and summer, that should do it.

 Buying and  reselling is supposed to earn you a bit of money, ie vintage audio... maybe you are not doing this right..?

i was doing all that horse trading mainly to build up my own stereo, same with guitars. now that i have the equipment i want, i ought to try getting a few problem electric guitars from sellers on CL and see if i can make some money. i actually have enough honda parts for sale that if they were all purchased for somewhere near what i'm asking i could afford the carpy or cyclex pipe. for the time being i'm leaving my internet alone. though i do WANT the new pipe it isnt something that i even remotely NEED. i'll wait, i'm normally patient/hardheaded.
