    Guru at last!

    Well just hit 1000, I've heard something about 1100 virgins when you hit guru status but I was wondering if I can trade mine for a virgin 1100? I've got enough mouths to feed already.

    Without you guys here I'd have never even bought my first xs, and it would probably have ended up in the junk yard. Now I've got two and looking for a third to butcher into a minimalist cafe racer. Thanks to all and I hope my 1000 posts have helped someone, so that I've given at least a little back to the community.

      Well there goes the club! Having seen your ride I would agree with the Guru status, but now the exclusivity is gone, we are actually getting some who know something.

        Congrats, Psycoreefer!

        I can tell ya this.... last week when I hit the big "G" level myself...

        The 1100 'virgins' subject was mentioned... then quickly dashed when Greg asked, "Who said they'd be women?" Soooo... you might want to be more specific when you start talking about 'virgins'.... ya might just get more than ya bargained for...

        (Also, just read a great joke about 72 Virginians.... pretty funny. )

        JAT....

                    Thanks TC. Didn't realize that's what I need. Tried to open via your link.... it won't. So, after trying that 4-5 times, I gave up and opened my home page browser...(no problem)... went to Adobe.com... no problem... tried to click on the flash player tab... big problems...

                    First it said it couldn't because I wasn't connected to the Internet...(bogus)
                    then it tries to build, very slowly... gets to 3 or 4 bars and stalls... all other web pages are working fine... wierd. I'll try again later on.
                    Thanks.
