Worthless products thread.

[The Buddha]

OK here we post in all the worthless crap made by well ... dont really care, any one. Only criteria is that it be a higher price tag item. Dont complain about the $10 automatic ice cream cone machine, that basically rotates the cone so you only need to poke your tounge out. OK so its gotta be a 500 buck minimum.

I am throwing in my favorite trifecta.

The Honda Rune, the new Vmax, and the gladius suzuki. All 3 ignore the problems that do exist, try to fix the problems that dont exist and create several new ones. Proof that motorcycles are designed and built by people who only use public transit and are professional bean counters.

There is plenty more including the Idiotic 20-22 inch spinner wheel made by performance machine for a hayabusa.
Cool.

Oh Oh Oh. I got one. Wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to add to this one. I'm only twenty so the things I've bought over $500 can be counted on two hands lol. But...Emachine PCs have to be the biggest pieces of shiite I have ever owned. I imagine there's worse but mine met the garage floor at 20mph and that was the fastest speed that POS PC ever made. Haven't looked back. As a matter of fact, my $450 HP laptop runs smoother than that thing ever did! I do still use the hard drive from that pc. It's only 80GB but it works great as a backup. Is floating around somewhere full to the brink with stuff.

[The Buddha]

I had an emachines one back in 00/01. Didn;t ahve much trouble with mine, but I dont use it for speed. I was still on dial up then.
Cool.

i'm trying to find a PRINTER for my compute- just a PRINTER- not a FAX/COPIER/PRINTER/WASHER/DRYER/w/ICEMAKER.

I tried to get Just A Cell Phone.  I have an alarm clock already.  I have a digital camera already.  I have a GPS already.  I have a computer already.  I can calculate tips in my head.  I just need to call people!

RG:  Tracfone.

I bought a couple of their $9 phones.  Very simple, no camera, no flip out deal, nothing.  Basic, cheap little phone.

Which is good.  The last one got flattened by a 20,000lb forklift when it fell out of my pocket.  No loss...  I pulled out my "spare" and the Indians in the call center in Who Knows Where India had me up and running again in about 15 minutes.

You know if any of the damn manufacturers ever looked into our website as sites that have people posting about their products - AKA their potential customers, they will not make 99% of this crap.

Like someone said, before you try to invent a better mouse trap, make sure the public doesn't like mice.

They make junk that doesn't work from other stuff that wasn't that bad, and the new junk doesn't sell, and they kill both of them. Its not like people were complaining about that previous product. So the new product flops and its death to both, way to shaft us.

And I will absolutely promise you one other thing. No naked, or cruiser or standard or well non sport and non touring bike will ever sell if it does not have a round or mostly so or rectangular or there abouts or you know 2 round, 3 round, 8 round ... whetever headlights. Headlights are the most important aesthetic part of the bike. If you dont understand it ... well lobviously they dont, it was designed and built by people who use public transportation only.

Let me make it simple. Headlights are round. Failing that, they are rectangular. We will ocassionally think combinations of these (2-3 rounds like the insane confederate sidewinder I think etc) when fitted into the bike right are cool. If you dont have the sense to take that gamble just remember, round. Its been round since 1902 ... you'd think in 108 years you'd have understood that. There seems to be an explosion of triangular, droopy oval, potato and phallus shaped crap all of which is an invitation to toss a rock into the damn thing.

Cool.

I'm feeling an inexplicable attraction to a bike with a droopy oval headlight.

You know, I've had the FZ for almost two years.  It's about time to pointlessly swap it for something that isn't any better.   

[The Buddha]

New FZ6 is another total POS, only by itself its not that bad (or I am yet to hear/feel anything about it) but its got a steel tube frame. What happened, did somehow cost of steel drop like a rock the last few months ...
Cool.

[The Buddha]

Who the F*(k designed pants whose front pockets are so narrow they dont cross the center point of your leg in front, so you put keys or other stuff in it and it slowly slides down the outside of your leg and ends up under your butt.
Cool.
Buddha.

[Roadstergal]

New FZ6 is another total POS

The FZ6R?  They're making it alongside the FZ6.  It's an utter pile.  I saw it in person, and it makes a Hyosung look quality.

[The Buddha]

Aaaah ok they ahve more sense than suzuki then. OK.
I think there is serious japaneese protection behind some of these companies.
Cool.
Buddha.

I think they figured that Americans will care more about it looking cool than having quality construction.  I think they'll turn out to be right.

Or they will blame the recession. Not the shitty product design, much like the gladius.
Naked SV was such a cool bike. This is just pityful. If it is lower seat OK I'll give them that 1 thing. Its gotta be much lower though.
Cool.
