I thought about the possibility, but figured I'd give you benifit of the doubt..... so next time I run slipshod over decent behaviour toward you, this will be why, Boy Who Cryed Wolf.... :wink:

'Sides, any prank pulled after 12 noon makes a fool of the perp... or some such drivel....

Dude, I bought it hook, line and sinker! I was beginning to think of ways to help get a 599 in your garage ASAP, so you don't turn out to be one of those "I crashed and now I'm scared to ride" stories.

I'll be a little more warry next time April 1 rolls around. :wink:

Sorry guys, I couldn't help it. With the events of the last 6 weeks or so I've been searching for ways to keep my spirits up. This made me smile a little bit... I think.

And I was in class from 7-noon today BuzZz, and we actually went biking afterwards. Some lady tried to rear end me after I sped past her because she refused to let me into her lane.

Made a point of staying beside the car in front of us, until she was forced to slow down because a car was infront of her. Then she opened up a space, but tried to keep us (me and my friend) from getting across her lane so we could get into the turning lane. I ended up funning it in front of her then slowing down pretty hard while I waited for my friend to clear the turn lane so I could fit. She was NOT impressed that I was slowing down infront of her. But she was breaking the law by intentionally not letting us get over so I don't really feel bad about.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Of course you know that you now MUST sell your Savage and get a 599.... at LEAST. Anything slower and you will have NO hope of surviving the attack of the 'Black Rat'...... we'll put you into a real pole, boy....... :wink:

It's listed for sale on buysell.com (the bargain finder in Edmonton) and now I'm waiting for a call. It's only been up for a couple of days, so we'll see. I got a job at Altasteel again, so I'll be making $18-20 an hour this summer. I'll save up and get the 599 at the end of the season if I have to. Then just take the insurance off the Savage and store it... or something. I don't know. There has to be someone who'll buy it.

Good luck with the ad.... I have had my truck listed on there for 3 weeks and got 0 calls.... :( and now they called and told me no more free ads on the 'net.... so they will print the ad in the paper for nothing, but charge to post it on the net???? That's like the bank charging to use the ATM, but tying up a live teller for 30 minutes is still free...... and these are the people we trust our money too??? :evil:

Don't give up.

Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.

If you never give up, you can never truly fail.

Hey man, sorry to hear it. I've had a couple close calls myself, and have hit a couple deer with my pickup. It shakes you up. I don't ride at dusk anymore. Deer, and many other animals are crepuscular (most active around dawn and dusk). I'll stop for a bite to eat until it gets dark, or call it a day.
