March Madness Everywhere
March 28, 2011 – 6:37 pm
This has been an interesting month to say the least. The weather has been up and down and right now, it looks beautiful outside. However, it’s only 40 degrees! That’s alright, UK made it to the Final Four. We’re gonna bring it home this year. Sorry to my Connecticut friends, but you’re going DOWN!
Let’s go topic by topic so I can do one big update…
Health/Fitness
I am now a client at Abundant Living Medical Clinic. In a nutshell, they are an all-natural pharmaceutical company. They are much more, but that will sum it up. Essentially, they draw a person’s blood and analyze it to find out what they’re deficient in. I learned a lot from them and am very pleased with the results. I’ll do a separate article tomorrow for the full story. Check them out, tell them I sent ya.
Electronics
I had to file an insurance claim with Sprint because I misplaced my Evo. The insurance company sent out an email EVERY DAY letting me know they weren’t shipping it that day since it was on backorder. The funny thing is they begin each email with, “We know how important getting your phone back is to you.” Blah blah blah, SEND ME MY PHONE. I’m going on a week now without my Evo. Luckily, I had one of my OLD Samsung phones and oh how I’ve grown to HATE it. Dear baby Jesus, send me my Evo.
That Rumblin’ Sound
I went to Lexington Custom Cycles over the weekend to check on my bike’s progress. The V-Star doesn’t even look like the same bike. It’s been lowered and now, after sitting on it to adjust, will be a whopping 4″ off the ground. The rear fender sheet metal work was pretty much done, the tank extension has been installed, and the rear lights were being done on Sunday. JR from Custom Upholstery by Jr. LLC stopped in the shop today and talked with Billy about the plan. Billy is going to build the seat pan and JR is going to pick it up in a couple of days to finish the custom motorcycle seat.
We are about 2 weeks out on the bike being complete. It would be much sooner, but after talking about paint and design with Billy, he’s got a 110-120 hour paint job planned for it. Needless to say, I’m PUMPED.
Other Motorcycle News
Kodiak Motorcycles is pretty upset with my new website, KodiakMotorcyclesSucks.com. People have come out of the woodwork to submit their stories and it’s drawing some serious attention. The site statistics far surpass Kodiak Motorcycles’ website stats and it hasn’t even been live for a month. It is becoming a success; one of our readers did receive full reimbursement from the shop after posting his story on the site and filing a complaint with the BBB. Justice will be served one way or another. 
Other News
R.I.P. Amine Lemghaili. Some jackass decided to shoot and kill Amine who has been the cab guy I’ve used for the last four years. He was a good man, a great friend, and took care of my friends and me and I can only imagine what his wife and daughter are going through. I hope the courts serve justice. Read the article here.
On a much brighter note, I’d like to thank Alecia for keeping a smile on my face and being there for me when I needed you.
Where’s My A-Game, Jerry?
March 12, 2011 – 9:33 am
Recently one of the owners of Kodiak Motorcycles asked me where my a-game was. When I was ready to launch a new biker site I said the new webmaster better bring his A-game if he wants to keep up with me. Apparently, that hit a nerve. Several weeks later, Jerry asked me where my A-game was.
Since they failed to live up to their end of the deal on returning my deposit, I’ve failed to live up to my end of the deal to keep my mouth shut about what I THINK about that shop and the way it’s run. So Jerry, if you want to know where my A-game is, search for “Kodiak Motorcycles” or “Kodiak Motorcycles Lexington KY” on Google. I think you’ll see KodiakMotorcyclesSucks.com right there pretty high up on the first page. Not bad for a site that’s been live for a little over a week.
The site is getting some HEAVY exposure according to the stats. I don’t know that I’ve ever had a site take over that quickly, but the biggest helper is all the people viewing it. Kentucky is obviously the state viewing it most, but Texas and Indiana are doing well. Oh, and I saw that several people from New York have viewed it. Hope that’s not your new dealer.
Don’t ever doubt my A-game, it’s working JUUUUUST fine.
