    the wife handed you your pink slip already, that was pretty quick. she must have really not liked being on the back of the GS for that long.

    That makes me feel much better. I was starting to worry that with the size of the box it might actually get lost in the mail.

    It makes me feel better too ...after all this travels it would be just my luck. But somehow I think the USPS knows not to mess with us this time around.

    Ring is in the wifes hands (we need an Ahhhh smiley)

    I gotta ask though...is that the box your leathers came in?

    Seamii, thanks for doing literally everything in your power to get this back to me shy of hand delivering it

    I almost yelled at the post office clerk for giving me the wrong package. Then I realized any friend of SSG must be a little strange too.

    awesomeness.


    Although it deflated my joke because I was going to send you a funky outlet strip and a card reader in a giant Acerbis plastics box I had that held my YZF plastics.






    Note to the overobservant: yz450f was sold a few years ago, it's not a hint. If you saw the box you'd understand.

    Okay Seamus, I just opened the box...then retaped it because SSG should have that experience . I'll let him post the photos...you definately confirmed my statement above though.

    Thanks again for taking time out to look for it (TogaTim a huge thanks to you as well) and for going through the trouble (although I think you enjoyed it!!) of shipping it out to us.

    Now SSG....keep it on your damn finger!

    What's that odd stain on the box in picture #1? I'd be scared.
    I have CDO. It's like OCD except the letters are in alphabetical order, as they should be.

    Incredible tale, but just another episode in a day in the life at McADX.

    Do you realize the odds of this ending on an up note?

    Now in stereo
    Visionaries say "Yes, we can."
    Engineers say "Not so fast."
