So, I am trying to plan a wedding, and then I get laid off in January, from my job that gave me a raise less than a month before. Last month 2 days before I leave to go to Daytona Bike Week, the transmission goes out in my 2006 Jeep Commander, that has less than 70,000 miles on it. $1300 down the sh*tter. I had to really do some digging to come up with that money. Now 3 weeks later the transmission goes out in my 2007 Harley Davidson, that has less than 20,000 miles on it. It will cost about $1600 to fix it, and I am completely tapped out. Get this though. The only thing wrong is a spring inside the transmission is broken. Now that spring cost about $25 to $30. They have to take the whole f'n motor apart to get to the transmission, pull it out, take it apart, replace the spring, and put it all back together. $1500 labor! No job, I still owe about $2000 on this wedding. What is next?

Taking paypal donations. Please give generously.

since you don't have a job, maybe you should try your hand at fixing transmissions.

I personally am not a big fan, but riding a Harley certainly has a status that goes along with it, some may interpret that as good or bad!

dragn, I'm a little disappointed that the president of a bike club, without a job, needs to get this work done by someone else!!! Do your members know this, I won't tell!

Yeah, I know. lol I can tinker, but nothing major. Most of my members are young and new to riding. The ones that know about bikes no nothing about V Rods. They are kind of in a league of their own. Not a sports bike, and not a Harley. Everything is very unique. Only the dealers seem to be willing to touch them. The bike was actually designed by Porsche

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
