This would be the ticket, if it's made for the C14(?): http://www.1jac.com/ (prob doesn't fill the 'cheap' requirement, though)

You don't make many friends on this forum Maxtog that is for certain. Hopefully I don't make too many grammatical errors, I would hate to be publicly called out and made to look inferior in light of your superior intellect.

First, I don't think you have any concept as to who I or others would or would not consider a "friend".  I also don't think of the forum as a popularity contest.  But much more importantly...

Perhaps my sense of humor is DIFFERENT compared to yours or some others', because the original post I made was intended as a witty/comical response to the part that said "must be politically correct".  It was never meant to be insulting and if it was taken that way, I do apologize to tweeter55.

Now you can ponder the apparent hypocrisy of your "corrective" posting...

No apologies necessary Maxtog. Most of us on this forum ( at least me I) have pretty thick skin. :chugbeer:

My skin is VERY thick, but many here I guarantee see where I am coming from or what point I am trying to make. I think the ignore list might serve me well, either that or I might not visit here nearly as much.....maybe that is a good thing.

I am with you.

I've decided I'm going to assume he's doing it on purpose ... like maybe he's doing some college research project where the goal is to push people as much as possible online, to see what they'll put up with.

Yep, the ignore list is yer friend brothers... Trust me, my forum activity on here has been a lot more pleasant since I figured out that gem of a tool.


And speaking of tool... could it be that some tool member is scaring away some of our forum folks that come here to actually have fun, hence it being a little more dead lately? Food fer thought...  ??? :-\

These are interesting... http://www.harborfreight.com/motorcycle-wheel-cleaning-stand-98800.html... but I'd probably find a way to screw up using one.

That's what I got. Did not cost half that much though....not sure where or how I got it. Must have had a coupon or something. Pull forward or put it on the centerstand and weight on the back and let it off. Works pretty well.

This is my thread so you both need to get a room and cuddle.

I find this very good advice......hint.  We entertain all sorts of 'characters' here.  I like it that way.  Now back to 'washing' (ugh) the front wheel.

We don't need Max to point that out for us Pokey!     ;)

Come on guys. Max is just having a bit of fun in his own way. If you haven't figured out his sense of humor by now then you haven't been paying attention.

Oh come on, it could have been a discussion about types of oil, or car tires!

You entertain them?

I know, I know ... the answer is 'Yes'.

The answer is always 'yes', unless it's 'no', grasshopper.
