LOL you guys are funny so anywho here is how the deal went.

They called my wife told me $1400 - deductable but plus tax. Didnt say anything about the helmet ive been complaining about no one giving me an answer on how much they will pay for my $250 helmet. I call them up and spend 20 minutes trying to get out of them how they came up on that price yada yada yada to finally find they use NADA pricing. SO I go online and look it up myself to find they are trying to tell me its the lowest price NADA says the bike can be worth and then all of a sudden I get told ok im sorry we use the high price not the low price so they give me $1800 minus deductable for it. Then I go in on the helmet and told them I paid $250 for my helmet (which I did) and they said ok we pay that plus tax. Then I bought the bike back for $200 and am currently looking at costs to replace both tires cause thats all I need lol. So for me this will be my wifes bike still so she can learn on a small bike still :D. I will wait a couple more years and eventually get the bike I want.

The other thing is her friend that my wife was giving her a ride home decided that she is going to buy me a new windshield to replace the current one.... I told her its not big deal dont worry about it but she insists on buying me a new one...

Any pics of the cosmetic damage?

Maybe it can still be repaired on your own. Like for the tank on my bike I just primed and painted the bad spots and the rust stays out (for now).

Is she a cute young thing, unfettered by the need of clothes when at home and doesn't have any children? I could use a friend like that, but my windshield is ok? How about a custom paint job to make my B-King the most unique production bike on this block?

cosmetic = all chrome pieces that have to have the old chrome stripped off and then rechromed... Way more work and cost than I want to deal with. Unless I can find someone who can do it real cheap for me lol.

Single yes, clothes part check, no children check, young depends on what you consider young but shes like 30. Cute is a relative term that depends on a persons tastes. But to get to the real point shes a lesbian....

Ahh had to leave that last bit for err last. :)

It is always good to have friends willing to do stuff like that. Almost everyone I know wouldn't want to encourage me riding.

Thank you for clearing that up

So recap

You are carrying a "crocodile dundee size Knife", a full length sword and dressed in combat clothing, and you are a member of some criminal justice university, sitting on a motorcycle in daylight in a public street.

geezuz christ dood, you would be arrested on sight here, your weapons confiscated, your police issues combat gear taken away, and your enrollment for uni would be canceled, you would then be charged with numerous offences all of which will carry prison time and a monetary penalty, plus you would never qualify for any government position including security, armed forces or emergency and you would never be allowed to be involved in work with children.


And thats no sh.it, it really amazes me sometimes just how far apart we are culturally.


And dont get me confused with me saying your bad or evil or wrong, Im merely just pointing out how different things are on some levels between our countries.
Here in Canada you would not go very far dressed like that. As in Australia you'd be quickly questioned, if not detained. I too, am amazed this is Ok in the US. On the subject of guns Canada and the US are very far apart culturally.

The gun laws in New Jersey are much closer to Canada than they are the rest of the United States...

Are swords and knives illegal in Canada? If not why would Viper be detained?

They are most definitely illegal on the street here.

Of course they are not illegal to own, but to carry hmmmm, put it this way, if you were to carry a sword on the street here, the police intercepted you, asked you to place the sword on the ground, you dont comply, you would be shot.

We have no tolerance for arming up in public, and to be honest, any num nut, spinless, cowerdly, wanker with a 1/4 brain function can lift a gun to settle a dispute, it takes talent to either talk or fight your way through a conflict with nothing but your wits and your hands :)

its called a concealed weapons permit and very few places dont allow you to carry those but thats government buildings and schools for the most part. You can carry a gun anywhere else as long as you got the permit.

It's called a training sword and those are legal to carry to and from class it's no wonder the arts are dying, so many uneducated folks who won't listen. Utility knives are what they are and come in really handy if you are in the woods or riding in areas where the cities are consisting of 2,000 people. Scissors and pocket knives have failed me several times on my trip to the woods.

Plus I don't carry any guns and see no need so I don't need a concealed weapons permit.

It's just a picture I don't dress like that going outside jesus.
