Did they offer you the upgrade at the same price as you had paid for the original? THATS the way its suppose to be done.. Not ripping people off. Reporting fraud aint whining brother,,, thats helping out your fellow man!! THANK YOU! Just reading your thread makes me mad too.. Perhaps give this a while to brew and folks a chance to respond and then a copy/paste email to the company will let them know that we aint buying the scam.. Personally, I take stuff like this seriously and wont be one of their customers as a result.. 'Puc

question about the last pic... Does the owner of the place come out and change the attire on the wax figurines behind the bike display like the pig ladie in Ohio does or does he always leave them looking like that motley group???? Just wanna keep this all straight in my mind..... 'Puc

Neighbor still just starting it up, parked in garage.
cowpuc replied to ken's topic in Watering Hole
Ken, I have been in your shoes a couple of times.. If you put any pressure on your neighbor he will end up giving to undeserving slob even if you have offered him a fair price to take if off his hands and finishing raising the scoot for him... Just something in human nature.. The way I would handle it is I would catch his wife at home and give her your phone number with a note attached reading "interested in the bike if you ever want to sell - please keep my number" and let it go at that.... Look like a innocent passer by when ya talk to her hahahaha Shame to see such a deserving scoot be abused like that BUT dont EVER say that to him!!! 'Puc -
Collar bones are bad but rotator cuffs are wayyyyyyy worse.. Now take it easy and let both heal!!!!!

He would,, what a weee kneee of a wack job that one is.. JJ has no clue about the damage to his fellow man he has done. RIGHT ON TARGET Mr. Cosby!! It is going to take Black men and women to solve cultural problems like being looked down upon if you seek higher education.

You said all and completely Jessie!! Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more fun and satisfying see those kids get er done.. I have raised 4 kids and use to haul em up in a tree stand with me when they were little.. They tracked MANY deer with me (bow hunting) over the years.. Now there all grown up and got thier own lifes.. Hunting is fun but NOTHING is as much fun as sharing it with the kids!!! 'Puc

Tks for the invite,, see you all there (actually I guess its read you all there).. 'Puc

I remember years ago the trying to keep decent tires on my race bikes.. Those of you who ride woods and have had time to experience the difference of sharp new nobs compared to rounded out suicide tires KNOW first hand of the importance of having new tires.. My 73 CR250M Honda would go thru a tire a race easily.. Back then, being forced by finances to try cheaper grade tires I ended up using Chin CHeng 760's all the time.. I could get them for 12 bucks a tire and they were really a pretty good nob.. Now I am looking at the same issue with my Venture.. Up to this point I have been very happy with Dunlop Elite 2's and normally wear out at least 3 rear and one front per season - at one time I had a stock pile of 40 tires built up, used to by at dealer cost for $45 each - those days are gone.. ANyway, Jjust wondered if any of you have experimented with the low cost skins for your rides? I am talking Cheng Shin,, King Tire, Maxxis or the like.. I can still get Elite 2s for 180 front and 210 rear but I refuse to go there.. INstead I am thinking of trying maybe a Cheng Shin Barracuda at 40 for ftonr and 60 for rear.. ANy thoughts on the matter??? 'Puc

Good thread,, it brings up an issue that I have decided to implement into my riding experience.. I have been riding now for almost 50 years and have experienced the situation that Randy brought up many times.. Having gotten tired of having this happen and down right MAD because of the loss of several very close friends, I have chosen to do more.. For the last few years I have been chasing down criminals who offend in this matter.. I always follow until the party stops, sometimes I have to come up to their window and tell them thier car has a major problem to get them to stop.. Once stopped I get real close to their face so I can smell booze - if they have been drinking I take thier keys and then call the cops. If not, they get the biker lecture about the huge responsibilty they are shrugging by not watching where they are going.. I have had people break down and cry and appologize for their actions.. Done properly (not in a bad attitude kind of way) it seems to work.. It sure makes me feel like I am doing something to fight this modern day phenomonon... Not saying its for everyone but it works for me! ! 'Puc

I have 4 kids, all adults now.. When they were young and home I would take them for 2 weeks at a time every summer for cross country touring trips.. The name "Cowpuc" is my biker name given to me by them,, it was not uncommon for me to step in cow crap while camping out west.. They also named my first 1st gen "Beeeeg" which stands for B G which stands for Big Girl.. We covered pretty much all the lower 48 and lots of Canada back then.. My 2 oldest girls are just getting started in their Careers (ones a Teacher the other a Doctor) and both of them SWEAR that biking is on their list of "has to" for future husbands.. Oh the memories... 'Puc

That was great.. I have a special treat for our none waving Harley friends around here.. I have a genuine old school Santee Softride - California Springered - 69 Honda CB750 SOHC motored chop that draws wayyyy more attention then Harley I have ever owned.. The non-waving Harley bunch will ALWAYS wave when I am out on the chop BUT,, I just stare straight ahead and ignore them hahahahah - its a RIOT!! Its also REAL fun when the timing is right and I wave at a kid on a moped and then ignore the Harley riders that happen to be there...

What unmarked cars are they using in your state
cowpuc replied to muffinman's topic in Watering Hole
Seeing a lot of Mustangs with LE in them in our area.. NOt exactly sure what their thoughts are in handling arrests in such a small car but there sure seem to be a lot of stangs around here.. Inititally I thought that maybe Ford was giving donors to LE but now I here that is not the case. I here that most buying committees look at fuel effiecency and repair stats and the stang came back with great scores... Small motored stangs with turbos are efficient and FAST all in one.. -
Thanks Brad,, Lord willing a bunch of us are going to try and make it.. 'Puc

Lets see,, I LOVE horsepower, high speed wheelies and cornering,, Hmmmm,, I had a Buell Thunderbolt a couple years ago that was a little fun,, wayyyy underpowered though but the flickability was great,, Hmmm.. Okkk,, First and R1 Yamaha, then a Hyabusa and then back to the yam shop for another test on the R1.. I LOVE the idea of 102 mph in first gear,, makes me smile just thinkin about it...

For the time being, please take solace in knowing that you are not alone in sharing the overwhelming sadness.. Godspeed Leslie. Sincerly Cowpuc Scott & Cheryl

Break 19,,, breaker break,, BREAKER BROKE,,,,,good grief ya bunch a ratchet jaws BREAK... Ahhh thanks for the break there Sasquach!! How bout ya Captn Crunch you got your ears on good buddy.. Seadogs trackin ya down.. Brrrrrrrrrreeeeaakk.. Capn, you may not believe it but the Capn Crunch cereal commericals always touched a funny spot with me back then and that is where I came up with the Handle of Seadog - remember he was Capns sidekick.. I was SHOCKED a second ago when I signed on and found 3 flippin pages of you folks who have had their memory switches tripped by this thread! Maybe I am just getting old and sensitive but iIsnt it AMAZING how we just go in circles as a society?? Now I have been sitting here racking my brain trying to remember the name of our Club.. We had vests with pins on them, our handles and call numbers sewn on, dinner every week at a local diner and business meetings once a month.. Our vests were really cool bright red with yellow lettering on them.. We had a HUGE map posted at the club house with QSL Cards (its been a lonnnnnnnnnnng time since that word has entered the old beaner - thanks to whoever mentioned that earlier..) posted on it from all over the world.. Unlike a lot of todays Clubs that have a tendency of turning into a beer bash, CB Clubs were very family oriented and coffee/pop only.. At least ours was and the number of other clubs I attended were the same.. Also trying to remember the name of my first radio,, it started with a P.... Back in the day there were small mom and pop CB shops all over our area.. Guys with their basements full of CB stuff for sale trying to support their addiction - SOUND FAMILIAR???? Oky Dokie,,, ol Seapuppy done turned ratchet jaw on ya's.. I gotta go 10-100 so this is Seadog, KJP9511 on the corner of walk and dont walk in the big town of banana land signing off.. Catch ya on flip side,, we're gooonne (voice tone goes upward on the end of that - goonne.. Thanks for playing folks... 'Puc oh yea,,,, CONVOY... who the heck sang it...... twas the fifth of june by the light of moon in Kensworth hauling logs. dah dah dah dah dee dee dee dee and Jimmy hauling hogs.. We were headed for bear out on old 1-0 bout a mile out of shaky town,, I said Pig Pen this heres the Rubber Duck and I'm bout to put the hammer down...... hahahahah ohhhhh the mems.....

You are welcome welcome Wayne.. Hope all works out well with your daughter.. 'Puc

You have a pretty cool setup then really.. I was going to suggest that you encourage her to get one of the large scooters to ride.. I have friends that are older (started riding at 75 years old - married couple that both ride now).. They decided to buy small scooters, played for a year and now both ride all over the country on large ones.. However,, your daugher has aquired some skills that are certainly transferable to motorcycling.. Clutching, shifting, balance, braking, taking off from stop lights all learned already in one form or another.. Tell ya what Wayne,, she sounds like a good candidate for putting it all together and enjoying our sport.. You know her as her dad and you know whether or not she is mature enough to handle the pressures of the road on a bike.. Thats about where it sounds to me like it lays right now... Sounds to me like if she is going to do it,you have a PERFECT opportunity to get someone involved that knows the business,, even if it does require putting your daugher into the hands of a Stud hahahaha 'Puc

Stardbogs post about "how many of us it takes to change a light bulb" made me laugh but it also brought up another thought.. Do any of you remember the days gone by of CB Clubs and were any of you involved in one?? If memories serves me correct the vintage would have been 70ish.. I was involved in a club in the day.. I had a 23 channel radio in my car with a powermike, had a "Starduster" antenna for the house and I would bring the car radio inside at night and run it off a car battery.. My handle was "Seadog" and my call numbers were KJP9511 - good Lord that was 30 years ago and I still remember those numbers.. Yep,, "this is old Seadog at the corner of walk and dont walk in the big town of banana land,, KJP9511 takin a pause for the cause"... I used to sit up all night yacking away on that babie.. I will NEVER forget the night the wires going from the battery to the radio crossed and grounded out - the house was INSTANTLY filled with burned wire insulation smoke.. My mom woke up and started coughing asking me what was going on... Just crazyyyy.. Later I ran boots and was able to talk skip with people from all over the world.. \ Sound familiar???? It is totally amazing how even though technology has taken us so far it has acutally taken us in a circle hahahahah 'Puc
