have them also weigh your 5 gram sliders. You will find out they weigh 4 grams. I have tried and weighed every brand of slider I could find. All came out 1 gram lighter than marked. I believe part of this is a marketing ploy...as in...when you install them not only does their elliptical shape give you a smoother feel and 'shift'...but being lighter..your take off is faster. Get them weighed..you'll see...bet they come out as 4 gram although marked 5... ;D Many deny this to be true(cause they never weighed them)..but always recommend to Newbies to sliders "Go up 1 gram higher in weight than what you seek" Gee...why is that  Answer..they are 1 gram less than marked...ask my Pharmaceutical digital scale..  p.s. You will like the sliders better...ask around on here.. |

I was able to recover only 1 of my stolen scoots. That is because the brilliant thieve lived in an apartment complex about 3 miles from me. One day on my way to a college class I passed by and saw it. He had parked it in his numbered...designated parking spot! Absolutely a genius he was.  So I called the Police...they went to his apartment and got him. Part that sux..is that as usual...thieves tear a scooter up badly....half the plastic was busted or missing...  Frame was even bent and did ride straight..ended up using it as a 'parts bike'... I am not a hating man..but I DO HATE A THIEF!!!! |

I really love this one , when at a traffic light nobody wants to get behind me as they think I am on a moped , so cars pile up in the other lane . The light turns green and I jack rabbit away from everyone I do the same..lol...Or I can be doing 55 in a 45...they just GOTTA pass a scooter...then slow down to 45.... is that all about? |

Golf Balls out of ponds..in Florida??? omg Sir...ever hear the term 'Gator Bait'... We did some training down there..in Dade County. Took a day off to go Bass fishing. I stood on the shore and kept hearing a 'pop' sound..and growl? Thought it was a stray cat. Looked down at my feet and it was a gator! Tossed my 70 dollar Shimano rod and ran like a lil girl to my car. They cruise through the water with no wake..never saw it coming...even a tiny minno leaves a wake. Talk about Stealth killers... carasdad Thank you. I needed A good laugh. I bet your feet never touched the ground till you got to the car.  Truly Dave O hellz no Dave...when I looked down and saw that gator..I out Moon walked Micheal Jackson to car.. I was so gone...last week don't even describe me.. at 5'8" 145lbs...gators call me MORSEL sir!.. On the bright side...Iraqui's found me a hard target to hit...but they did a few times. The Gunnery Sergeant yelled "Get down" so to we Native Americans..we thought that meant get up and dance... I think the Military really needs to clarify instructions better... |

when i was 11 - 12 i fished golf balls out of the water hazard with a friend and sold them to the golfers for 50 cent each. 25 cent if they had any nicks. i don't know if you can count that as a job. we didn't work hard but still made good money for a kid. about $25 each every time we went. at 13 i mowed lawns, had 4 customers. was paid $5, $6, $10 and $25. hated cutting the $25 yard, it took me 3 hours. i gave that yard up when i got my honda spree.  my 1st job with a paycheck was washing dishes at a banquet hall at the age of 15 for $3.35/hr... meh $3.35? now that i think about it that $25 yard wasn't so bad after all. lol Golf Balls out of ponds..in Florida??? omg Sir...ever hear the term 'Gator Bait'...

[replyingto=gatekeeper]gatekeeper[/replyingto]15..I was a cook at Olympia Truck Stop in Plainwell, Michigan...for $2.35 per hour. I was a homeless kid as my dad was abusive broke my arm and kicked me out. Back then there was no real CPS. You could do anything to your kids as long as you had a 'Reason'. I lived on the streets until I was 18, then joined the military. I stayed there for 21 years. I have 6 kids..none have ever even been spanked or booted. Because I think with kids..crossed arms and silence....have more power than....crossed eyes and violence. I worked my butt off for those Truckers..and was the fastest cook there...because road time is important to them. 4 times my boss let me off 3-4 days to go on the road with them. Loved it..but learned respect for them...ya see it takes a tough person to live 3 days of eating greasy cheeseburgers..and 3 days of listening to one worn out Conway Twitty 8 track tape...omg.. Yeah I lived a tough life..homeless as a teen and shot up by Camel Riders..cause as a Medic I was saving young Marines lives. If I could go back in time..and change anything..would I?...yeah..pretty much everything.. Promise me one thing.. first chance you get today.. HUG your children...not SLUG your children. Glenn...aka..Yayiima benatigee |
