Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Yeah the Zuma has kind of a funky design. I was thinking more along the lines of the old designs

The Valkyrie is essentially a (Naked) sporty gold wing. I don't need a lot of utility on a bike.

I will. Thats the first thing we're gonna do. Wash and wax. We need to pour some oil in the cylinders so that can run down for a few days. Needs new tires. Needs a battery, needs valve cover bolts, plug wires need to be put back on, and probably needs new coolant. 

 

Oil change is in order. 

 

Just all the maintance items need to be done. Hell the padded vinyl hard top is even in okay shape. Just needs one of those conditioning treatment things to bring it back. 

 

Hard top seals probably need to be replaced though. 

 

Will know more once we get it out of there. 

Nope. I picked up on it. I love horrible puns. 

He's just kitting you right meow.

Was out on my balcony for some fresh air. And i'm sitting there thinking. 

"Hmm. Yeah that's Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower. Someone has good taste in musi... FUCK!"

Then i ran downstairs to yank my fucking head units faceplate off.. Forgot to do that earlier today. 

(It turns itself on at random times if its in there because the previous owner didn't wire the stereo power through the ignition. Like you should)

Well that was fucking shit. Two interviews later, Panda told me I got fucking denied. Way to kill my fucking mood. Why the fuck is it so hard for me to land a job? I have so much fucking hard times, while other people get interviewed and get the job no problem.

Damn that freaking sucks. :(

Did you ask why they denied you?

Ugh, I always keep forgetting to ask that question, mostly because I'm too upset that they denied me. I'm so stupid sometimes when I let my anger get the best of me.

Really it's not fair because they're looking for people with experience, but like for me it's almost impossible to get hired probably mainly bc i have NONE.

If you thought life was going to be fair then you haven't been paying attention. Its an employers market. Job hunting sucks ass for everyone. 

You'll get there eventually. 

1af33bbe837b9b1d65c9ac632afc856f90796618

I've had a few different jobs. But i'm going for a completely different kind of job which means i don't have any experience to list.

(Except for the operative on site manager position. There i've got experience. But they can still choose someone else)
