Being self employed or owning your own business is a real bitch sometimes. After 10 years I don't think I could go to work for someone else. There's more work but the added freedom and control of decisions is something I can't ever give up. And when it's busy enough to be stressful, that means I'm making good money instead of the same hourly wage. When it's slow I play with dirtbikes and my kids and I don't stress over it.

I agree, I could never go back to working for someone else. When you work for someone else and your boss is an idiot, it's a lot harder to deal with. If I make a bad decision, I learn and move on.
There are days I wish my business wasn't in retail. People are just nuts sometimes. And whoever said, "The customer is always right." never worked in retail. :-D

Glad to see the bike found a good home and you made some money. Win win there!
I will second "The customer is always right" Just finishing up the last 6 weeks in retail I thing people get more idiotic each year or my tolerance level is just not where it used to be! It can be shocking sometimes. :-o

I own a UPS Store, so the customer usually leaves with nothing in their hands and less money in their wallet. I guess that tends to make them more gripey. Plus most people don't ship very often, get free shipping from Amazon, and just don't understand how much an average UPS driver makes thanks to the Teamsters so they complain about every price you quote them. It can wear you out when it gets really busy. I've had to grow a much thicker skin. Oh well, it still beats working in the corporate world for the actual pointy haired boss of Dilbert fame. :-D

What's up guys I just bought a 2003 kx250 was told it only needed a top end. But in reality the bottom was gone too. The bearings shot up from the crank and tore the top end up. Would you happen to have a top end that's some good or know of a place
umberto:
Welcome to the site 38 Baby. I would contact Sandblaster on this site. He deals in nice used parts, and may have something in stock. I believe the 2004 cylinder will also work, but Sandblaster would know for sure.
