What an epic trail of bad decisions to get to this point. I'm not piling on the guy, but holy hell. Think about what you're doing once in a while and don't compound issues with more poor decisions.

It just sort of pisses me off to see people "pile on" the guy when he's down. If someone here has actually been hurt financially or otherwise by him, speak up, otherwise, if you just don't like the guy, that's your choice, but nothing said here can diminish his on track accomplishments.

Semper Fi!

+1. He was extraordinary during his all too brief prime. PM sent.

RockyMt - I tried to send you a PM but your mailbox is full and not accepting any messages.

Thanks,

You have to know the secret handshake (a few dead presidents in yer palm) to get thru to me.....I just cleared out all those messages from Selma Hyack asking for more bone (sigh, once they get some of the GOOD stuff...) anyway, PM away, the coast is clear.

Semper Fi!

Um, i'm not sure if this is a joke or someone has simply lost their mind. Just got an email saying they want 1 million for the set.

Don't count on that... Barber is well known for having "patient money". They can wait indefinitely for the right deal to come along.

I haven't been there for a couple years I wonder if they have managed to put an RC51 or VTR250 on the floor yet...
