No, it's not what they say. It's "proof in the putting". As in, if you're going to put something somewhere, you're doing something. You could rephrase that and say something like "actions speak louder than words". Same thing. And, yes. This is my OC coming out. Nothing personal, mate.

Chris I don't see that happening seeing how many mods you try to do on the cheap!!!!

Don't see what happening, Brad? Buying a fully loaded bike? I would as I like a warranty since I'm mechanically challenged. Doesn't mean I'll stop modding the bike. Sometimes, my frugality saves me money. Sometimes it costs me money (like the fairing I'm on now). I still try to do things to save money (unless you'd like to donate to the cause). :)

Monk, you should apply for the Langley grant.
It is meant to help those who don't wish to spend their own money.
Qualifications needed are;
willingness to smoke cigars
drink expensive hooch
winning the five pound burrito challenge.
* oh and being able to clog up the city sewerage plant afterward.
The rewards from this grant can be spectacular.
Apply today and have your ride looking great tomorrow.

Some of the rules to the grant process are truly meant to be unfair, therefore making it impossible to receive any of the monies that have been made available. Your ethincity, relgion and /or accent or just an unwillingness to keep your clothes clean and pressed could be grounds for a disqualification. Applicants should only be white, female, 21 years old with the notion that less clothes is appropriate.
Applicants with tattoos and peircings need not apply.

Well....a cigar is a phallic symbol and they are talking about getting all liquored up. They're talking about a "five pound burrito" (whatever that's suppose to symbolize) and something about something coming out of an ass. Besides, Brad's involved......

You decide.

I like cigars and a few drinks, but I'll pass on the burrito...
