Paul has too much money

Paul seriously has too much money and I think we need to take it away from him.

RE: MOTORMate stuff
Someone help me... I just placed an order for all three! The Moto-Go in stylish Racing Stripe!

Didn't see a shipping estimate, but it's coming from NJ, and I'm in the DC Metro area, so hopefully not too long! Expect a full review!

-Paul!

Paul comes by it honestly...

I'll bet he saves all the money he doesn't spend on car washes.

You mean one of those fancy-shmancy three-tone dealies? Those are COOL!

60 bucks for something you can do with a stock horn and two quick taps on aforementioned appliance?

Paul, honey, you need to take HowNotToWasteYourHardearnedMoney 101.

A wave works wonders, too

I respectfully disagree! A stock horn does not make the all-important 'wonka-wonka' sound!

Look at this helpful informercial for more info!

Ok, that tears it! I'm taking you to a bike shop, Paul. Where you, too, can purchase a happily euphonic, yet aesthetically pleasing, audible notification system of your choice.

Start with a dinger (brass bell), then move to the classic bicycle horn, with that all-important "wonka-wonka" sound.

If that's not enough for you, get the rechargeable(!) zound air horn! like a hand held version of a mack truck..a favorite with bicycle messengers.

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

LOL..yer silly. I posted after I went to the website and listened to the infomercial.
If I were some hot young thing and someone said "nice booty!" or one of those other ...er...greetings, I'd tell them where to go after I told them how to correctly greet a lady.
Save your $$$.

I love my mini but the "cheesy" factor associated with the car sucks. It's as if the mini was something like a fridge door full of magnets (abc's, calendars, pictures...ect). Something like a vw beetle with the flower pot next to the steering wheel!

Respect the motoring tradition the bud vase represents, yo! Seriously, I'd need plastic flowers. I'd break the live ones in microseconds, just like I'd peg a Gee-Whiz...

Cheers,

Nope. I did check my email receipt though, and it did claim 6 to 8 weeks. July 4th will be the beginning of week 6.

That's because it takes a long time to manufacture little $5 bike horns to each customer's personal specifications!
