Think I'll buy this engine - only $5,282.00

...plus shipping. Do the math a 2,595 British Pounds if you don't believe me.

Right. Bloody RIGHT.

The only problem is that it needs a turbo, so you can probably double this cost if you wanna really go fast!

How 'bout this bad boy at $6,057.62? (2974.99 British Pounds) bummer that it does not include the carb - oh well...

If I tried real hard I'll bet I could spend $25,000 in a heartbeat on a mini bike.

I can't believe you went with such a low budget setup when you could have had this for only $2,256.00.

Some people are just plain cheap.

16 next week.

I think the word you are searching for is "sarcastic".

Sarcasm usually requires a quick wit, and the ability to extract the minutest points of weakness in a conversation. Perhaps not being able to enjoy sarcasm is directly related to not having the ability to come up with sarcastic comments, which in turn creates a feeling of inadequacy, which in turn can spawn a Napoleon complex, that can cause someone to logicise that sarcasm is the humor of the stupid.

So, how tall are you?

Rude is "ignorant, unlearned b: inelegant, uncouth c: offensive in manner or action : discourteous d: uncivilized, savage e: coarse, vulgar"

I am JOKING here - lighten up a little homeboy... Jeessshhh!

Just an fyi the kitaco 124se motor could be built including labor for about 3000 and the takegawa 124 superhead could be built for roughly 3500.
