New England B.S. Thread

Is it being shipped? Shipping is nuts, especially if it's coming from overseas. I had to cancel an order for 2 bikes I bought for my kids and reorder from something I knew was in stock. I ordered the first 2 in September and still no tracking info.

 

Yea but I ordered it through my local bike shop. It is suppose to be here by the end of the month, beginning of next month. Orbea is out of Spain, but my bike shop has a way of checking and sort of seeing where it's at

 

That's good to know, hopefully it shows up soon!

 

I hope so!

 

Curious, what frame size is the newer mongoose, and do you know the model/ details?

 

Interest in both the Geese..my niece's BF is looking for one

 

I have the spare tire (Hankook) and rim (16") from my '21 Sport extra now that I've upgraded the spare to a 17". Is the 16" worth trying to sell or should I just give it away?

 

I did get a PM about them, let me sort that out and I'll let you know which one/ones are left

It's a Mongoose Terrex 27+. It has 4.5" tires and front suspension only. I swapped the grip shifters to triggers and removed the decals so it's all blacked out. It doesn't have a lot of use, I mainly bought it to have a hard tail for the tow behind trailer and the child seat. I'm 5'8" - 5'9" and it fits me pretty well. It's nothing spectacular but it's in pretty good shape.

Stand by. I got a PM a little earlier I'm working through.

 

Here are the actual bikes

 

Would anybody be interested in buying my drumset? It's a limited finish Yamaha Stage Custom 6 piece set.

 

My son is coming over tonight so if in case I don't log on I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe everybody and hope you have a great day!

 

You also, Rob!

 

We got let out of work early today so instead of going home to be with my family, I was able to snag an RMV appointment in Leominster to finally get my license renewed (been at this since August). Purpose of this post is to, once again, express my absolute hatred for the RMV. Tried renewing a bunch of times online, never heard anything out of any of the attempts, emailed, called, nada. We’ll see how the in-person goes… I’m sure I’m going to be missing some document and they’ll tell me after a 2 hour wait and send me packing…

 

I went to get my Real ID when my license was due to be renewed, so I had to go in person. I had every document (passport, utility bills, prior license) except my SS card as I missed it on the list. You would have thought I punched the clerk in the face in front of her child while kicking her dog simultaneously. The outright disgust / hatred was shocking. I was just like oh man, so sorry, was missing a document and she made a noise of disgust, shot me daggers and walked away. No "sorry you're missing a form, come back soon". I haven't even bothered to do anything since.

 

Haven’t even bothered going down the shithole of the Real ID, don’t get me started…. I went through enough getting the documents needed for this renewal (apparently having your old license that they gave me doesn’t count anymore)

 

Are you an AAA member? I've at least heard they're a reasonable alternative and can do the same services as the RMV. Whether that's true or not, who knows. What's wild is I recently renewed my overhead crane license and got my forklift endorsement attached and had none of that BS, but granted that's also not a legal form of ID.

 

Cross your t's and dot your i's! I had everything once and because my birth certificate was old without some kind of certificare numbers on it they turned me away. I had to go get a new BC but then I was all set after setting up a new appointment of course!

 

I'm making cookies with the kiddos.

 

Last time I went through the DMV in RI I had everything lined up. The woman behind the counter was angry that I caught the second page of requirements as an out of stater and had everything I needed and she could pass me through. I think because it was an extra step for her early in the morning rather than saying “go away” she had to deal with an extra piece of paper that she had to concentrate on filling out I work in QA I know how to read requirements.

 

Happy Thanksgiving all! And I went to Triple A for my renewal. You can book the appointment online. My only issue was the passport connection was down, had to go buy my birth certificate. Otherwise easy.
