Well, if I were a betting man I would say GasMan hit the nail on the head, Twsity is being evasive again. I think there is a gap in his story somewhere. Dude is that a sweet deal on the bike or what? I believe K&W had one on their floor when I bought the six and if it is the same bike I remember it being quite a bit more then 13. Good luck with "negotiations". Just be sure and save some money for the Garage expansion. I know bikes are smaller then cars but you have got to be double stacking them by now, what are you hanging them from the rafters or something??? P.S. As if you need to be told, I am sure you aren't buying it from Metro?!?!?

Only took five pages to admit not owning Aprilia :crazy: Sorry you could not even come close to keeping up with me on jetski :thumbs: No ******* sit down ski's for me ;) 100% Ocean riding, if you think you have to be in shape to race motorcycles, try Ocean jetsking :thumbs: I must be doing something right, get hit on by women all the time younger than you :crazy: I've made a living as a window cleaner for the last 20 years...you think you are in shape? Try hanging on the side of a 25 story building on a padded piece of plywood attached to a 5/8 kernmantle rope. Or, on one of the few days on the ground, try moving and climbing 40 foot ladders all day! Do you know how much a 40 foot ladder weighs? I doubt you even have the courage to climb a 40 foot ladder let alone jump over the side of a building on a rope. How 'bout it? Want to come work a day or two with me???

Bumble You are BS's the wrong guy ;) Highrise building Engineering contractor last twenty years. Ever hear of using window washer rig from roof :D Also window washer companies use portable cherry picker lifts this part of country over 40 foot ladder ;) You might like this picture taken from one of my accounts 45 stories up looking at Pac Bell park home of SF Giants. http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/sf6.jpg

Jet...what do you do for a living??? Supply Engineers who run and maintain highrise buildings. Lots of complicated systems in highrise buildings, you do not notice. From electrical generation plants to life safety systems. Few more pictures taken from roof of building located at 1 Market St San Francisco. Bay Bridge looks small in this picture :crazy: http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/sf9.jpg For Gas man Ferry building from same rooftop. http://hometown.aol.com/gymvette/images/sf4.jpg

Ever hear of using window washer rig from roof :D Also window washer companies use portable cherry picker lifts this part of country over 40 foot ladder ;) If you are a highrise building engineer, then you should know that swing stage you call a rig is the most dangerous way to clean windows. Any time you see a pic of a window cleaner in trouble or who took a fall, he was on one of those F'king rigs. NO THANK-YOU!! I will use my Mule or counterweight basket anytime. I have a JLG ariel lift and it is great if you have a parking lot to sit on or room to put the outriggers out (see tow truck post from earlier this month) That swing stage you mentioned, Every time you use one, you have to put 2 men on it to run the motors and the brakes. I would rather have two men cleaning windows. Also, Take a guess at what the Workmen's Comp rate is when you use a swing stage...It will cover a roofer and a fireman's. I guess they didn't teach you that in engineering school.

In my 20 plus years on highrise buildings never heard of any window washers getting killed or hurt in San Francisco using window rigs. Few times window washers have been stuck on rigs. No problem if rig cannot be repaired in place you take out a window. Most of window rigs I deal with are Spider staging, units are inspected yearly and have many safety devices ;) If you are using 40 ft ladder, mule or counter weight basket on highrise buildings you are running a very inefficent business or you have very cheap labor, do not care about safety. Italians used to run window cleaning business in SF, 90% are now Mexicans but still all Union on highrises.

Those pics make my head swoon. I could never make it on one of those rigs. I have been skydiving, but for some reason I don't get the same feeling as when standing on the edge of a highrise.

Just came back from Twisty's place and didn't see the Aprilia in his garage yet. But I did fine this potential Aprilia concept in a recent magazine. You got to love Circus Maximus from the fine boys over at Maxim Magazine.
