...i am fucking fuming.

http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/mcy/2315323326.html

hey i bought this shit and then took it all apart and can't figure out how the fuck it goes back together so i'm gonna just sell it for 2x it's value and yea you get all the parts but they're in boxes. the stuff that is put together is probably put together wrong since i don't know what the fuck i'm doing. but i put "cafe racer" in the title so that means it's fucking gold!

It was. That little strip apparently twisted up and went with it LOL. Needless to say, I'm looking for another slip-on.

I was totally playing. I don't have money to buy a whole new bike. Shit, I'm starting to not have money to finish my bike so it might stay a track bike or I might sell it. I'm too indecisive right now. It would be better if I didn't get paid once a month.

plus everyone speeds so you don't really have to worry about being stuck behind a car.
never passed a cop there though.
Yea I work at the Firestation in Dumfries, so our Jurisdiction runs from the Entrance to Quantico MCB all the way up to Dead Mans Turn on Joplin, from there to Aden is Coles Districts jurisdiction, But I drive/Ride/Respond the entire length of Joplin every other day.
