TANSTAAFL and all that.

Not sure why, and YMMV.
sorry... perhaps I'm a bit slow but I gotta ask...

TANSTAAFL = ?
YMMV = ?
YMMV = Your mileage may vary

I have no clue to TANSTAAFL....

Dan'l,

Someone reads Science Fiction - Larry Niven to be precise

TANSTAAFL = There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

In other words - you get what you pay for in this context I guess.

Don, yes the above explanations of TAANSTAFL and YMMV are correct.

I live in Mequite, but I work in the uptown area. I have ridden the north area some, but not much. I rode up to Clark's for BBQ a couple months ago. I'd love to ride with you guys sometime.

BTW, how big are you? The reason I ask is that I have a cordura jacket that is like new (bought last winter and only worn a few times) that I'd let go cheap (probably $75) to a fellow Sprint owner so long as I don't have to mess around with shipping it. It has a zip out liner, it is warm and seems to be of excellent quality. I only rode in the rain with it once, but it was completely waterproof on that occasion. I've lost some weight and it's too big for me. I think it's an XL, but probably fits like most 2XL's would. If you're interested, let me know and I'll tell you more about it. If not, ok.

Friday I called Fieldsheer and was told to contact the retailer, retailer tells me to contact Fieldsheer :evil: . I am not playing this game, I just took it to an alterations shop $50.00 for a new zipper. OK last money I spend on Fieldsheer, if they can't stand behind a sale only 90 days old they get no more of my business.

Forgot to add that the retailer was Tonker out of FL. for those that didn't read the entire thread.

Actually, it's Heinlein, the Moon is a Harsh Mistress. But it is SciFi. I believe it's a Trivial Prusuit question. :-D
