Pete , like you say, these two strokes have another agenda. Both Charles and Zambeck are on the NAZi kick, and Charles sent out a whole series of this on email a few months back , Zambeck went so far as to anonomously snd this crap to my employer. I did not put it together until I found out that this piece of shit moved to Tennesee - the Tennesee postal stamp had me fooled until I talked to a guy in Chicago who told me where Zambeck lives. Now he has a much bigger problem on his hands than just being stupid - much bigger, and so does Charles. pete wallace wrote: > > Greg, > I for one, am becoming tired of this scooter bullshit, not to mention your > usual grammatical ineptitude. > > I have had one of George's scooters for over a year, have put some serious > dives on it and have never had the slightest problem. > I suspect you and your buddies may have some other agenda than just the > scooters so why don't you just come to the point and leave the scooters > alone? > > Mine works fine, everyone else I know who has one of these reports their > scooters works fine.
