Freebird Posted September 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2009 OK folks...I recently replaced my Sunpro gauges on the '99 RSV with a new faceplate from Ponch and a new set of Equus gauges. I liked the off white color of the new gauges better. So, I have a set of Sunpro gauges with the chrome faceplate available to one of you for free. You will have to pick up or make the adapters for the water sensor as we all do but everything else will be there. So who do I give them to? Let's try to have some fun with this. I want to hear your hard luck stories about why you need a set of free gauges. Your milk cow went dry, whatever. Just submit your best FICTIONAL story about how down and out you are and I'll choose a winner based upon what I think is the best submission.

footsie Posted September 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Well first of all I was promised a 10 million dollars by my great uncle when he died, but alast his 8 kids wanted all for themselves, so they got lawyers and I not only did not get any money but had to pay the lawyers. Then the dog got sick, vet promised he could heal him for $100 dollars, well the dog got better for a couple of days then died, well the Vet then sent a bill $1000 dollars, which I refused to pay because he had said $100, so he took me to court and the judge said I had to pay it, plus court cost. I got so mad I jumped on my venture and blasted out of the court house parking lot, Well Roy (the sheriff) was setting there in his car and ran me down and pullled me over, he said Gregg that ain't no way to act. So he wrote me a ticket for 150 MPH ( fast second generation)in a 35, The judge threw the book at me. another $2000.00 out of pocket. After that things went from bad to worst, I burnt so much rubber off of my kumho leaving the court house it blew out on the way home. I didn't fall but lost control went in a ladies yard and ran over her prize roses and her pedigree poodle, she called ROY ( THE SHERIFF) who said I had to pay whatever she wanted for both, I really think $10,000 for 5 roses and a mut is extreme. Well then the day got bad from there. When I finally got home the wife said one of her implants had went flat and would have to be replaced, said it sould be no more than 15,000 up frount, and had to be paid by thursday before the surgery. I tired of typing is this enough. Gregg Edited September 14, 2009 by footsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted September 14, 2009 All of you are SO pathetic as this that I'm only going to let this one run for a few days. I think on Friday evening or Saturday morning I'll choose a winner and then get the gauges in the mail. I don't know how many of these I can read.

Sylvester Posted September 14, 2009 Share #14 Posted September 14, 2009 This is a true story. I have no problem buying a set of gauges and no severe financial problems. I am however retired living in the country. Due to the financial problems and economic situation, many humans (loosely used) find dumping their pets in the country a quick way to solve some of their problems. As of now, I am caring for six dogs and feeding two more who are so abused they won't come close to me. I have neigbors who are doing the same. Taking these animals to the county shelter mean certain death for them since the shelter is full. If I were to get these gauges, it would mean more food for some of God's unfortunate creatures.

Hummingbird Posted September 14, 2009 Share #21 Posted September 14, 2009 OK - I know this is supposed to be fictional, However since I have no imagination at all and it would be impossible make up something to surpass the gifted individuals already here, not to mention the ones to follow, I guess I'll just have to tell it like it is. In september of '08' I bought a very fine looking Midnight Venture from a gentleman in Virginia. Since I bought it I have put on passing lights and had it painted a two tone with money I pilfered from passersby on the interstate exit ramps. On a very lucrative afternoon of 'begging' I managed to gather enough to buy some multi colored LED's and get them installed also. There was some money left from that and I used it to replace the side reflectors on the Venture. Now, having said all of that, it must be said that I am totally mechanically challenged and was able to sucker a couple neighbors into installing the above mentioned accessories. As much as I would enjoy having a set of gauges on my Venture, I fear I have run out of suckers, err, neighbors to install them. Not only that but someone has the gall to offer a USED set of gauges that aren't even complete. I know this little essay will most likely win any competition for the above mentioned gauges but I would have to decline accepting them because it is NOT a COMPLETE set. Now if the host and benefactor would reconsider and make sure that ALL parts and pieces are included then I MAY reconsider and accept the set as a token of their appreciation for me taking the time to type this and hit the submit button. Moving the curser all the way to the (submit area) is quite an effort that I not accustomed to but thanks for reading. btw - when the gauges are delivered please make prior arrangements to have them installed as quickly as possible. Thanks again - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b2dad Posted September 15, 2009 Share #24 Posted September 15, 2009 Dear Don Please, please give them to my sweet, adorable, but poor husband, Don. (See, you have the same name!!) He has spent all his money on his new trike and now has nothing left to buy those thingys with. I have had to cut him off from the check book and all kinds of plastic. He has spent the children's inheritance and his retirement money. He is now driving me crazy, crying all the time and has filled up the garbage can with used kleenex. :bawling:I can't take it any more! Please send him something he can put on his bike and maybe that will appease the poor creature for awhile. It's worth a shot, don't you think? The trike would look so much better with those gaugie things on it...or whatever they are called. I will be forever in your debt, Don. Thanks in advance...I believe you have my address.
