    Slightly Less Than Useless Bastards

    Well, the title don't zactly sum up crasherfromwayback.

    I need two front discs for my T-Sport + pads as the solid riginal ones were 'wavy&wocked' (tm)

    He talked me into fitting floating ones (Same as Chrissybimbo aka normajeane on KB has on her Sportster S) and in a very short space of time (Cos I told him I needed them for the Ghost to Gold HOG ride) he had them at my door-step.
    AND he had fitting advice
    AND he shot down to me quick-smart an item that was missing when I got the discs (NOT his fault that it was missing btw).

    So I glued the discs to the forks of me scoot and did the Ghost to Gold, ya know what, it was great without a 'vibration enhancer' kicking in each time I grabbed some brake.

    He might be 800km away from where I live but he might as well be next door with all the help he gave me and effort he went to on my behalf.

    My ride was more fun, smoother and safer thanks to crasherfromwayback, a big - AND a big slice of raisin pie to Pete too.!

    I use to laugh when I would read this sort of thing..... and then I bought a Harley.... you can't wave your hands around as much as you could on a japanese bike a lot more primitive than a jappa but soooo much fun.

    Bloody hard to make any money out of selling helmets in NZ unless you make 'em yourself mate!

    I'm gonna approach the local mob chapter and see if I can get the lazy fucks to weave me up some Nazi helmets out of flax. I'll then paint them with VHT super chrome and sell back to them for a dozen tinnies or so. They'll think "foo Bro", and I should be able to make a few bucks for the weed.

    I may make a few 'limited edition' lids in camo and matt black, but I'll be wanting some top shelf crack for them.

    Yup! Gotta pick your product carefully and know your target market.

    Ya need to have read the 'right' biker magazines - (a long time ago) to know about that.

    A common postive reward currency was "a big slice of raisin pie'.
