Paulvs, looks like you just jumped in front of the bus again. I have dealt with Dale, and spoke with Dale. He's a nice guy. Notice I said nice to me. Maybe he's not nice to everybody. I just know if Im in the business of dealing with the public in the hopes of selling and promoting my already great reputation, I would try to make sure things like this do not happen. Remember, most business owners agree to try to make a customer happy. By the way the term "amatuer" does imply not being paid. Lets see if you jump again :duh:

It's spelled "amateur".   :wink:

Dale does a great job of supplying Bandit 'goodies' that are difficult, if not impossible, to find elsewhere.  At a fair market price.

And his customer service reputation is as good as any independent I'm aware of.  In my 3 years of frequenting Bandit websites, this is the first negative experience I've heard of.  

Maybe since you apparently have some hidden agenda or axe to grind here... you could prove otherwise.

So standing up for a small-business entrepreneur who almost without question does 'the right thing' for his customers is not a position that I have any insecurity defending... especially since most of the motorcycle aftermarket industry seems to only want to cater to 16 year-olds who want flashing LED's and a 92-tooth rear sprocket on their Gixxers.

And I never denied that Zen-Man perhaps did have a bad experience with Dale... I just stated that it would be an aberration and not a regular occurrence.

It was a moronic statement on your part.  But then again, if one tried to educate all the morons on the planet...

 :stickpoke:

I'll leave it at that.

I'd like to thank you personally for correcting me on my spelling. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to thank you at the next rally if you can make it :lol:

Calling people names is quite moronic in itself, wouldn't you say?  :roll:

Come to think of it, I think I'll save this one too:

So you are insulting me personally.  Your statement "I like the guy" is a fluffy little piece of diversion that really just indicates that you've never really dealt with him personally.

And by the way... a hit-and-run smarmy comment like that... you wouldn't happen to be a liberal would ya?   :wink:


Sorry, I was too late to save the part where you called Roamr a "piece of crap" before you edited it out.  :wink:

That's exactly what I was thinking, of PaulVS, that is... he's the only one throwing the insults around, which I doubt he would do if it was face-to-face.

Me? No "keyboard commando" here. Not once have I called anyone a name or threatened anyone anywhere on this BBS.  :bigok:

Like 'amateur lawyers jumping in front of a bus' isn't an insult.

It was a moronic (and contradictory) statement.

"I like the guy" ???  Yeah... right.

So sorry ZenMan... that Big Bad Dale hurt your poor wittle feewings so much you felt you had to post it in two different places here.  What a frail ego.

And regarding your comment about 'face-to-face'... I'm in Chicago... Really aren't any Bandit rallies around here, but if either one of you is passing through... feel free to let me know and I'll buy you a beer.   :wink:

Not only wouldn't I consider those insults, but I didn't say them. You are obviously confused.

"Amateur lawyers jumping in front of a bus" wasn't even specifically directed at you, and it takes a very thin-skinned, sensitive psyche to somehow take that as an insult. And how anybody can think "I like the guy" is an insult is quite beyond me.   :roll:

If that's an indication of a "frail ego", then you must have one made of eggshells, judging from all the insults and name-calling you've been doing all over this board. If there was anyone here that fits the description of an "internet tough guy", it is most definitely you.

May I suggest a good therapist? Oh, and make sure you tell them about your obsession with disproportionately large female mammary glands, I hear they can pinpoint a lot of insecurities from your particular affliction.  :wink:

Now that's the spirit! Thank you for the invitation, I'll definitely take you up on it when I come up that way this summer! Just PM your address and I'll be there!  :beers:

Holiday time stress, unwitting victims.
« Reply #40 on: December 24, 2006, 10:22:24 AM »
Its the Holiday time of the year, Im sure that the winter weather and the Christmas time overload is enough to deal with, but lets not forget that we are all brothers.
 
Im sure and would bet on it, that if anyone here would ride up on each other and they were down at the road side you would stop and help.

Summer time will come again and everyone will feel better, so lets step back and let our ability for future vision to kick in, smile, forgive and forget.  :wink:

Since your taking requests as to where we want to "beef it out". I would request the next rally, I've made it to all of them, so its a safe bet I'll be there for the next one. Now I could be joking, but that would rest entirely with you. I never was much for bbs bitchin. Im actually kind of ashamed I let myself get wrapped up in it.  :beers:
