Except in Vermont (being the sinister bass-turds they are)

Its Vermont most of the state is ass backwards anyway....

) past their closing hour.
It was a little gray box the size of my palm $500!

and it took them 30 min. to find the fault and change it!
I drew my sword and vowed to NEVER buy VW again!

I don't get what happened to VW, my wife's '94 Golf has never ever not started. It looks like shit, it sounds like shit, but that thing just goes and goes and still gets 35 mpg. Talk about a Energizer Bunny!

Man, this is a cool thread...everybody rambles about all things not related...AWESOME!

Well keep in mind there was some body / paint work involved too.

As for this thread and its various weaves, many of the repeat posters know each other personally. I've raced or ridden with a few of the recent posters, coach MSF with another and have bought a DVD from the third so the odd off-thread topic is sure to work its way in.

Having said this let's get back on track, who has the latest KB crash?

^^^^ What he said!!! ^^^^

Red, right, returning is nautical. It refers to the buoyage system marking a dredged channel. The red buoy is always on the right side when returning to port or proceeding upstream if it's a river. When leaving, it's the opposite. A black buoy denotes mid-channel and is equivalent to a center stripe on a road.

Or, a bigger more-powerful bike, with less riding skills and PPE.

The best car I've ever owned is my 2002 Eurovan GLS. The worst was the 2004 Phaeton V8 I just traded in. A horrible, horrible car.

It has been brought to my attention that Mr Jim VB was not actually the first one with the correct answer although this is, at best a debatable issue.

Having said this while Mr. JVB answered the question Mr. FL posted the answer after something about the VT coat of arms.

Rather than have to send this to the council of councils I declare a tie so both get their pint of real VT. Maple.
