It’s not a worker shortage, it’s a compensation shortage. Pay people enough and they will work for you.

How about we just tell cops to stop idling on the side of the road trying to catch speeders and save gas that way.

I’ve been riding and purchasing gear online since early to mid 2000's and I don’t know when Bike Bandit came on the scene but they have always “felt” shady for as long as I can remember. The guys I know that have gotten stuff from them have said that it was common for orders to get mixed up and shipping delays/poor…

BikeBandit can go get fucked. Two years ago I ordered parts to adjust the valves on my Street Triple (shims, a bunch of gaskets, air filter, and some other stuff) and it just never showed. I reached out to them at two weeks, four weeks, two months... nothing. And they wouldn’t cancel and refund my order. I ended up…

I work for a motorcycle parts manufacturer/supplier that sells direct to multiple online resellers with similar business models to BikeBandit. Although we never dealt with BikeBandit, this is basically how most of these kinds of sites operate:
1. Advertise everything from every brand on your website, and imply that…

Except it’s only a regulation that would hold them to those debts in the first place. Without a regulation that you can’t just borrow from somebody and then not pay them back, you can.

This is a quality piece of investigative journalism Miss. Mercedes. This is the kind of professional work I expect from a serious publication.

Yep, good article, Mercedes.

Just wanted to chime in to say this is an awesome article. I wish there was more of this stuff (the article, not assholes screwing people over)

Once they tell you to exit the vehicle, they are already planning to kill you.

Exactly. The second you decide to race an Integra in your Viper, you’ve already lost. Because even if you win... well, congratulations your 8.4 L V10 managed to beat a 2.0 L 4 cylinder Japanese tuner car.

Challenge the credit pulls on your credit report with the 3 credit bureaus. They are required by law to investigate and get proof of the pulls. If the dealerships does not show proof of your agreement to have it pulled within 30 days, they are required by law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to remove them.

These drag races are dumb, but this is even dumber. What is the absolute best outcome? You prove you're faster than... an Integra? Does this surprise anyone? In the meantime, you might lose or worse. 

Your assumptions on those laws backfiring only works if everyone got prosecuted equally under the law. Also, IDK about Florida’s anti-voting laws, but Texas made sure to include exceptions for 65+ on mail in ballots to be sure the old people could keep them propped up. 

This did not go well for you.

I prefer this one.

You missed a big opportunity calling the ‘MSM’ the Lame Stream Media, big smart man.

I’m sure he has a lot to say about masks and COVID too. It’s funny how something as small as a sticker can tell you everything you need to know about a person.

Truck Nutz is so obvious I’m surprised it wasn’t in the prompt.
