They probably used up all their cash setting Blake up with the best bikes imaginable.

Re: Rumors about Young America?

I heard that they were taking engines out of new bikes, letting Blake use them, and then putting the engines back in the bikes and selling them
(as new) when he was done!

Re: Rumors about Young America?

every single time I went in I got the cold shoulder. I bought a helmet there last summer cause they had a good price on it and the guy was all trying to get me to buy a different size and ****. I'm like "dude i've ridden long enough and **** i think i know what size helmet to buy". When i bought my first bike there the salesman drove off while we were loading it (it was near closing time) and then this guy comes over and says "you guys need to hurry the hell up cause i need to close the gate and get out of here". I get some of the same feeling at Bob Barrs. The old guy always says dumb **** to me in there. Treats you like you don't know how to ride and ****.

He got pissy with me when I said he should put some Ducati logos on that yellow Kyemco pocket bike for Mike. All I can say, IF I ever decide to get a kawi anything or , forbid, ever buy a ducati, I know it wont be there. I'll drive to Chicago first.
