Well I wonder if my day will get better today??? Just got off the phone with the local HI FI repairmen at a Stereo store.I sent my receiver in last Tuesday to find out the Amplifier has a problem that is repairable but beyond what I want to spend. Thats "TWO" Sony receivers in 5 years.First one within the first year it got warrantied. The second lasted me 4 years. Mind you this unit was probably there best unit. Man don't they make electronics that work anymore?? What I do know is I'm not buying crap from Bestbuy. Everything I've gotten from them with the name Sony on it was junk. Sounded awesome but no longevity |

Dana, Harman Kardon, Onkyo, or Yamaha. In that order. The HKs will be more expensive. The Onkyos are always a good value. All 3 will last longer than SONY. |

Steve I thought about Harmon Kardon and Yamaha but I've been looking at some Marantz equipment.Marantz entry level is like 5 bones. I remember when they were awesome in the 70's and early 80's then they were cheap junk after that. But now I guess new ownership since 2000 and they are selling really good stuff now. |

recent Marantz stuff is okay. I still think HK stuff sounds more musical Or you could do waht I did, say screw the reciever crap, and go with seperates. Any amp from these guys would do fine. http://www.coda-continuum.com/ And made in the good 'ole US of A. And 10 year warranty. I've got a pair of their 4.3.2 amps Then get a preamp/processor from either B&K, Marantz, Sunfire or outlaw audio. But then you'd have more $ in your stereo/home theater than your bike But, take a look at this. This is an AWESOME deal. http://www.onecall.com/ProductDetails.aspx?sHist=12-125%2c6-18&id=23876 |

Dana, bike looks good. I'm still scratching my head about the headlight issue though. Tom (and Girls), Jason, Heather, Nancy and Mike it was nice seeing you all again. Looking forward to racing and riding season so we can see ya all more often. Jason, I just bought those tires off Ebay. I figured $139 was worth a look. I'll let ya know how they are when I get them. Maybe worth ordering again. Andrea, thanks for dinner and being molested by Goliath! Gotta love him!!He cracks me up!! |

Dana, how's the back? Jason, ordered the tires Sunday. Got them today. I went over them with a fine tooth comb and found nothing wrong with them. They seem to be brand spanking new. $136 for the front and rear, SHIPPED. Mich Pilot Race H-2's. Plus you get a butt load of stickers from the guy. I don't know if you or Tom are brand loyal, but for that price!? Go on ebay, go to ebay motors. Click on motorcycle parts, punch in Race. Go to items for sale store. He has more. |

Hellion, How are you feeling??? Sounds like your gettin a new table today!! Horray!! Last night was interesting...but Dick did not want the help ..Jay was great calling the 911 for me...he was in complete denial...when the pain lifted he decided not to go to the hospital..but later thanked me for the help...don't know why some people are like that. Next time he may not be lucky and I was sure to tell him that!! Cold weather is coming ...HATE that thought...How many more days till spring??? I am just content sittin on her right now making the VROOOM VROOM noises!!! LOL |

We brought Toni's CityX home last night. Wow is that a nice bike. I got some weird looks, riding it down Bluemound Rd. Maybe it was because it was starting to snow pretty heavily btw, We picked up a computerized embroidery machine today. Used at a REALLY good price. So who wants T-shirts and patches? |

NN, That's all Toni can do at the moment on her CityX. Make Vroom Vroom noises. Until the select seat comes in at least |
