I had a boner for my first time that week


On the subject of prices, Czech Republic isn't fully converted to the Euro and they will drag out that process for a while or never convert like GB. Prices are better because of it. 1 pint of beer is about 60 CZ Crowns in the center of Prague, but outside that area you can easily get one for 25 or 30. 1 USD = 20 Crowns. And we are talking about beer in a glass not a plastic cup.

Italy, Spain, France and Greece are using the Euro. I've been to Italy and Greece in the last two years, both have high prices but overall Greece was easily cheaper in general.

I'll be in Zurich in a few weeks, I'm sure that's not going to be cheap but since they don't use the Euro I'm sure it won't be like Paris.

I didn't realize going from a 255.40 (211?) to 245.40 ($189)can change so much in price.

^I read the thread where Adam stated CBP wanted a ton of money. That's kinda sad as the lot sits empty on the weekends anyway. I hope he's able to get Willow Grove in the next year or two. That lot would be awesome. TOO MANY WARMINSTER EVENTS!!!!

F Warminster! I am not doing that many events there. Screw it, Fed Ex and Meadowlands are my preferred places to run in this area. Losing our best site CBP is a real step backward. They need to do something or they are going to lose alot of us regulars.

On another note what up bishes! Little busy lately, still injured with my ribs too, hate carting after this experience. Just went to a chiropractor yesterday because I am tired of the pain. My back got hurt too when I hit the wall, so got some x rays where the pain is. Nothing is broke and my adjustment made me fell better, so on my way back to normal.

It has not moved or been worked on because I suck. Parts I thought were ordered by my "boy" were never ordered. I am placing order now hopefully next week I will have it all buttoned up and then I needs to get a pump gas tune on that ish.
