MM,

Can you please take a quick survey for me? It's 20 quick questions (as mandated by the analysis method) regarding your job hunting experiences. This is for an MBA class. Thanks in advance!

I'm shopping around for my first motorcycle, and I have a thing for 'fightered or cafe'd bikes. As a matter of fact, I'm planning on going to check out that 1993 GS with the Katana FE and custom subframe this weekend.

Not surprisingly, my dad has been worrying me to death telling me I'm too tall for a sport bike, and I wont survive the 2 hour trip getting it to school and back without coming down with carpal tunnel syndrome, a slipped disc in my neck, infertility and syphilis.

My uncle, also a life long biker, checked out the listing and immediately shot it down, worried that a bike with brakes (from a katana) that are bigger and not designed for the motorcycle they are on, will make the bike unpredictable and dangerous for a first time rider. He said I may unthinkingly jab at the brakes and cause the front end to lock up earlier than expected, and then die in an enormous fireball. At least he hasn't sharpened my cranium to a point over getting a sport bike.

However if you combine this with dad's concerns a sport bike with a custom front end will give me carpal tunnels, slipped discs, sterilize me and give me Stids, shortly before killing me.

My uncle suggested that I buy a mid-90's Honda Nighthawk 750. Which I was open to because 4 cylinders get me excited, but after reading about them there is zero aftermarket support and I can't find a decent forum about them. Which is no good because I'd install lower bars before I even rode the thing if I had a bike like that (because I want a goddamn sportbike!).

So now I'm lost really, I'm hopelessly attached to homer's bike but I don't know if my uncle has a valid point. I do know that I want a GS500E or a GSF400 or 600 as my first bike. And if my uncle's point is really valid and I might die in a fireball because I don't know what I'm doing, I should cancel my plans with this GS500 guy this weekend, and grovel at his e-feet for forgiveness.

Thoughts, directions, guidance?

I know most of you have already left Harrisonburg, but I thought I'd put this up here anyway in case some of you wanted to ride down on Saturday.

Mt. Pleasant Church of the Brethren is having an All you can eat steak dinner on Saturday June 5 from 3:30-7:00. For $14 you get All you can eat steak, green beans, baked potato, cole slaw, and some desserts. The tickets are all in advance so they know how much to actually cook. So we'll need to know by like Wednesday. The steaks have been marinating since this weekend and everything sounds wonderful.

This is Rex's dad's church, and all the proceeds go to helping a church in Haiti rebuild. They are working to get the Pastor of the Haiti church to attend the dinner, since he'll be stateside for a conference. So, Rex, myself, and Kaan are riding down on Saturday afternoon, so if anybody wants to follow us or something that's cool. If you can't come, well you can't come, but I know everyone showed interest in wanting to help Haiti but didn't know what they could do. And I know you guys love to eat, so I thought I'd offer it. If this dinner goes well, they'll be having another, I suggested during the school year so maybe we could get some college kids to come out.

Car-shopping has proven a tedious task. And it doesn't help that I am really picky about buying a car. So I need some help...here is my wishlist

1.) vw jetta
2.) years (1999-2004) -I like that body style the most
3.) Under $8000
4.) under 100,000 miles
5.) manual

Preferably:

-leather seats
-GLX or GLI edition
-Oh yeah and in the state of VA-or MD or NC

Let me know if you guys see anything!! Pasibo/Gracias/Thanks!

Got this for my dad's POS Jetta diesel, and then he (thank Zeus) got rid of it. So I've got the manual. One of you VW nerds want it, or know someone who does?

I'm posting this for Scott Powell - the general manager of Bob Wade Scoobaru in town. Looks like a nice car, I've sat in it once and it's clean. From the ad:

Scott Powell Wrote:Up for sale is my 1996 Corvette Collector Edition. Chevrolet produced only 4100 of these cars and featured exclusive Sebring Silver paint with ZR1 wheels. This car has light gray leather interior and options include very rare Z51 Performance Handling Package with Bilstein shocks and Performance axle ratio. Other features include LT1 V8, automatic, power seats, factory Bose stereo CD and both hardtop and a BRAND NEW factory glass roof. It has aproximately 67000 miles (cluster was replaced at 31000 and odometer is showing less than 36000) Autocheck will confirm.

The BF Goodrich G-Force Sports are almost brand new (see pics) and the ZR1 wheels are perfect with no curb rash, pitting or fading. All weatherstripping is new and the interior seat leathers are brand new with new foam. This car is absolutely beautiful and all stock except for factory style flowmaster mufflers which sound dynamite. It is perfectly aligned and serviced with synthetics from front to back. Extremely tight and fun to drive..this car makes me happy everytime I get behind the wheel! Ultra clean inside and out and LiquidGlass protected. No wrecks or damage and no abuse. This Vette will make the new owner smile with every turn of the key and will surely appreciate in value in years to come.

NADA average retail is $15100 and Kelley is $14950. My price is $12900. Please call (540) 294-3413 or email me @ <!-- e --><a href="mailto:j.scottpowell@gmail.com">j.scottpowell@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->. Serious and qualified buyers only please.
