Reality sucks, don't it?

From your name...I figure you're about 8oo lbs...rolls of fat coming out all over the place....big bald head, with a weird skinny mustache..maybe 120 years old...shiny skin, sort of a gold color...and you just sit there with your legs crossed all the time...maybe 6 arms too...

am I right?

Buddha,

I think your best bet for the fantasy thing is "show biz"....

But....Young chick, motorcycle rider, with a good job, house, artistic talent, articulate, and looks like Elizabeth Montgomery..but has trouble getting a decent date???

I'm convinced she is an FBI "plant"..trying to catch you guys in a "sting" operation....Kiddy porn ?

What's in a name?

Buddha...

On another forum...There was a guy who somehow assumed that the name "cookie" had to be a female...

He was a British guy named Geoff....(that's "Jeff" to us red blooded Americans)

I replied to him that with his being British, and named Geoff, that I assumed he was G-A-Y....

He didn't deny it!

You're thinking of the chinese buddha. The Injun Buddha (The original) is like 350 tons. But all rock hard muscle. LOL.
He's not rolling fat - The chinese buddha is some caricature of this guy and somehow gained weight.

Some of these statues date back to about the time right after buddha lived. So it is likely pretty accurate to appearance.

Cool.

Most of the smaller, and some big motorcycle shops around here have gone out of business. About when the economic crunch hit a couple years back.  Many large dealerships gone too...

Many years a go I worked at a bicycle shop...  one of the largest volume dealers in the east.  The owner became a millionaire in that business.  Many other shops opened and undercut our prices.  The owner would not stoop to price wars. All of those competitors went out of business....but that shop still is there.  The owner has long since retired, a rich man...now one of his relatives runs the place...

Being in business is rough, and competitive.

I wouldn't take my pride a joy motorcycle to a shop who is trying to undercut prices, in a price war with other shops.  What do they pay the mechanic?  peanuts?  What type of quality mechanics can they attract, and how good of a job can a mechanic do, if he is under constant pressure to do the job fast and on the cheap?

I probably could get to LA and back for under $1000...plus $15 for the tire job,,,hmmm

I'd still rather do it myself...having the job done MY way...priceless!

Uhhh...$15 ...IF ...you buy the tire from them!  That's a big difference....Many places around here will install for FREE if you buy the tire from them..

They charge $30 to mount YOUR tire...(that's the going rate nationwide)

They also charge extra to balance....

Then look at some of their service charges for "first service" ..(valve adjustment extra)

So..this dealership is charging the fair, and going rate...nothing special, not outrageous either...especially for CA.

Oh...Gamma....lighten up, dude....maybe switch to decaf?
