i just dont see much motive for buying special polish and effort into it when I am never going to have the oppertunity to appreciate it when I know full well that someone will buy it in the next few months.

they buyer probably wouldn't care about it anyway.

Back to your old tricks...

Justin.
also... i never had 20k at one period in time.

besides... I wanted to build the 250 as best I could as a challenge.

i would feel like a tosser riding a 1098.

same goes for driving a ferrari or porche... when I could build something just as fast.

i feel no sense of occomplishment from buying something... it just doesn't feel like its mine.

so that means anyone who restores or does up an old car/bike is retarded?
so that would include your self for rebuilding your r6.
Richo's bike is old? Or 'done up'? Richo: What cosmetic-only mods have you done on your R6? Just sponsors stickers?
Just did a quick check over.. closest to a cosmetic mod is the Pazzo levers, and I chose them over CRG, ASV, Titax etc because the feel was a lot better. I chose braided lines the same colour as the rest of the bike I guess?

Apart from that just sponsor stickers (and I don't have to pay for them anyway).

You're saying that your 250 will be as fast as a 1098?

Drew's head is going to kerplode:exclamation:
i mean the bike that you are racing... putting in all that time, effort and money into.

if you want to talk about money smarts... you should have put that into your morguage.[hr]

its not always just about that. I never said it would be just as fast... you are just trying to twist my words to incite an arguement.

the point I was trying to make was that I feel accomplished after building something and striving for the best. if it doesn't become the best or equal or even close to, that then gives you the right to call me retarded? you are such a nice guy.

When someone has been an outright troll pain in the arse in the past, gets banned but then gets another chance, then goes "ha ha I trolled you", that to me is a green light for giving shit.

Brendan, this is not a new forum, we are not a new bunch of people, we remember you from before and remember how you acted. People are expecting you to wig out and be a cock and are waiting for it...

You've been on parole, haven't been turning up to see your parole officer and have been a naughty naughty boy, that's going to see you sent away again :blush:

Justin.
i wasn't trolling in the first place.

i was accused... so i thought... hell with it. just play along, maybe thats what they want.

instead i was flame baited.[hr]
also... whats with the sig sirb?

does it make you feel good about yourself to put others down or to take advantage of someone being bullied?
Lol. I offered to bury the hatchet and meant it.

First step is with you buddy, apart from incessant long winded arguments about semantics :)blush:) with a few members on this forum I don't really have issues getting along with people.

I don't think it's me who needs to work at this thing.
i wouldn't react so much if you guys didn't make such an effort to insult me. thats exactly how this thread got out of hand.
Humbug said:
thanks.

if i have some paint left over from painting my other engine... I plan to repaint the master cylinder also.

I'll be sure to give it a try... probably wont give me any regain on resale though... so probably just a waste of effort.
This is the first post that caused issues. Before that it was just people offering genuine encouragement.

EDIT: It's not our goddamn responsibility to censor our posts so we don't offend you. Harden the fuck up.
i wasn't screwing about when i replied to your PM... unfortunatly, a small bunch of people don't give a rats.[hr]

i didn't say i wouldn't do it.

i was just stating a fact. thus why i am not so keen to do it.

*edit* then don't get so offended if I'm kidding about by posting a pic of rex hunt.

so why dont you harden the fuck up

I wouldn't say it makes me feel good to put others down, no, but I am prepared to put my neck out, even though I'm fully aware that it makes me look like an arsehole, when I think people need to pull their heads in.

The sig was because it's funny, it's also temporary, no need to cry about it.

Justin.
i for one am not laughing.
Humbug said:

That makes one of us :lol:

Get over it Brendan, behave yourself, stop trolling, stop sooking, and you'll get left alone.

Justin.
Deal
