Hope you boys never need advice from TwoTired......



Karma at work baby

Karma IS interesting, really.
Who's to say that you acting in response to being wronged isn't karma working?
Why does it have to be someone elses actions against someone whos wronged you to be 'ok' and 'kharmic', but your own actions aren't?
What makes your wrongs against someone else as payment for someone elses karma ok, but your revenges against someone who has wronged you, wrong???
And, in the case of karma, if you were run off the road, apparently you deserved it, you are paying karma, and why should someone else pay for making you pay for your karma?

Zeke, what you really might do is ask the landlord speed bumps. I recently put one on my road.
It's a state maintained gravel road but we have a neighbor who likes to fly by our house.
The neighbor is a lady who move here from California (I'm sure that figures in her driving technique)
Almost hit my wife. I happened to have the skidder near by and just pushed up a speed bump
right then. She still doesn't slow down that much when she comes by so I'm thinking
mogals now The other neighbors kid will like that. He likes to ride his honda 70 down our road
Which is another reason I put the bump in, that woman is likely to run over him and
never see him too!

just make sure they remember to notch them for your riding pleasure. - easily done while the asphalt is soft...

Not much worry there. We don't see the same thing very often. he is a purist and does everything by the book. I prefer to get the job done in a manner that will be reliable for at least as long as what the factory did, it just might not be HOW the factory did it. Besides, if I ever need electrical theory, I have my college books on power plant operations and electrical generation and my father is a something like a level 5 journeyman electrician. So if anything ever crops up that is electrical, I am pretty well covered.

Guess your ok in the electrical department then eldar.

My comment wasn't really directed at you but thats ok.

You might consider that I am certificated by the Federal government to work on anything that can fly. While I have worked as a mechanic most of my adult life I still find nuggets of information in TwoTireds posts.

I've never seen him give bad information.

I've never seen him talk down to anyone.

TwoTired is an asset to this board.

Some people like to "beat the drums" and that is thier perogative. I can't for the life of me remember any posts by TwoTired that do that.

[mlinder]

I, too, find a lot of great information in TT's posts.

[dusterdude]

damn right!!!!

[ProTeal55]

I never inteneded to start a "Anti-TwoTired" thread, so please dont think I did.
I ws just speaking up for myself as I felt he was coming down on me alittle to hard for something
he took WAY outta context, thats all.

I was raised to speak/stand up for myself, and thats just what I did.
If people feel otherwise, then I am sorry...

[mlinder]

Finding value in someones knowledge does not neccesarily preclude dissatisfaction in the delivery of said knowledge, however.

That's on a singular, personal level though. Some may take it one way, some another.

[eldar]

Well, I can tell you that it was done at me and I was even referred to, by him, as a PO. Check out some of the battery debates. he has done it to others as well. It has been awhile since we had a run in, but I usually just avoid it since it serves no purpose and does not make the forum look better.

Really the only problem I have is that he gets long winded on his posts. If something wont work, thats fine. If you want to give a reason why, thats fine too, but the whole electrical theory does not need to be stated as most people dont really care about the exact reasons and everything under the sun. If they do want to know, then they can ask.

This is the first time I have said anything about it and I probably wont say it again as it is my opinion. I can just choose to gloss over what he types and get the basic info as that is all I need.  but then, I dont have electrical issues and aside from using my manual to know what the electrical measurements need to be, I rarely need any help.

My main issues are knowing what parts will swap as I do not have a fleet of 750s like some people here do, nor have I owned 10 others in my time or something like that. And sometimes questions on engine work and I will have some of those when the day comes I do an 836 conversion. For those though, our experts are Mike and hondaman.

I have no beef with TT, I just see the page differently than he does. But then, I dont like airplanes either! Maybe it is not the plane, maybe it is because I have to rely on some crackpot airline pilot!

P.S. My other post was initially in jest to your response, I just added the rest in case someone jumped on me But EVERYONE beats their own drum! Some backfire more than beat though!

You are taking what I said, and more importantly what I meant WAY outta context,

Ahem, this is >>>ALL<<< the context you provided:

Find out who the guy was , where he lives , and cinderblock his truck.
Actually , ring his doorbell, and start a conversation about what he did to you while your buddies cinderblock his truck behind in the distance....

What context or meaning did I miss contained within your recommendation?

[eldar]

I would say not to worry anymore about it.

Chalk it up to the fact that text cannot contain vocal inflection and convey feelings accurately. Add to that the fact that only a few of us have actually ever met in person. That is the one bad thing about an online forum. Many of us will never meet.

We just have to remember that aside from the rare spat, we all almost always get along. I am sure the heatwaves blasting us all over the country dont help our attitudes though!

See, Their you go again !!!
This is exactly what I am talking about.
I am gonna tell you the same thing I told GEETO67 when me and him got into almost the same argument, and I will not argue any further...

I am done with this thread, and I am done with you...

As long as you dont love like terry does!

Its the Battle royal of the 1000+ Posters.........

Sheesh get a grip gentleman. Seriously grow up folks.

Surely this is going to invoke High school flashbacks in some of our pharmacutically inclined brethren.

If someone recommends a group hug.......well hell I'm gonna get my cinderblocks and....never mind.

Well, no major damage is really great. Wisdh I could say that
after each of my accidents.

ONE of My Wifes' bosses and his wife crashed big time tuesday:
No helmets, shorts, sneakers, and short sleeve shirts, new riders,
he will need a new nose, and cheekbones and half a jaw, as they were
scrapped off.
She needs skin grafts on 60 percent of her body. Many broken bones etc etc.

You were lucky man.

Rem. Revenge is mine says the Lord,
Those whom live by the sword die by the sword.
The Golden Rule.
etc etc etc.

Real life: A very vengeful person I once knew, finally stopped
"getting even" and strangely enough his life got better.

What would I do? I would definitely go talk to the guy.
peace,
michel
