Went out for a quick ride on GS and to pick up a piece of plastic to fix something around the house , within 50 meters of the shop got a flat at the rear 
Well ,good thing I knew of a scooter garage near by so I limped there slowly, asked the manager if they do MC tires (... of course they do.. )
and rolled the bike in   
The rear wheel is off and they send me to a near by tire shop ,got there, didn't had a chance to open my mouth ,"we don't do these here!"
What?! So what do you do here, it's a tire shop isn't it?  "No MC tires,I don't have equipment, too much work ,blah blah blah...try a guy next to me..."   
I already knew that the cause was lost with the other guy but went there to make sure....I was right....
So back to the garage I went ,they took the tire off the rim (thank god) and took it to the tire shop themselves, 30 minutes latter I had the
wheel back on the bike.

So the point is, nobody in this god abandoned country ( Israel ) has skill or will to do any real work professionally even for money ,and when they do
you don't get what you paid for so it's better do everything yourself or get screwed by everyone around.
And it goes from the incompetent Government and works it's way down to the last idiot
There will never be peace here,cause most think only of themselves and screw the rest... It's not like that everywhere right?
Rant over....excuse me just had to vent some out...

Oh and of course I didn't buy that piece of plastic ,cause the shop closed for sabbath when I got there   

But at least the weather was good and I got to test drive the patched tire

Hey, its no different in the US.
I went to buy a exhaust collar/gasket. Muffler shop has one, its stuff they pull off a car, OK it looks right but its ID is 2 inch, I need 1.5 inch. They said no problem, try autoparts. I walk next door to O reilly. And walk in and ask for exhaust gaskets. They said what car ... I go, car, WTF, I dunno, its going on a motorcycle. they go, Ooooo you gotta go to the dealer. I said no, I am hack jobbing somehting, its not on the bike now ... they go ... Ooooo OK why do you need it then. I go, I need it as a spacer between this pipe and this intake manifold. They say, Oooo we dont ahve that. I say, I just need a 1.5 inch ID exhaust collar. They go, for what car ... I'm like, we can wo this forever man, this is like a "for" loop.
Then get this, I went to Lowes and found a 1/5 inch pipe. ID 1.53 or so inches, OD 1.88 or so inch. Perfect, cut off 1/4 inch lebgth and booya its done.
Cool.

Affs,

Same here in Italy, and worsening through the years.

Well that sucks , people are so selfish that they'll run you over and won't even notice or won't care

If you have time here's a reality check of life in here :

A long time  motorcycle instructor who's supposed to ride carefully gets himself killed on a scooter in busy traffic and nobody cares to stop and help

a few minutes pass until other scooter riders stop to help (just disregard the adds and the unknown language)
