Death threats

Well it's more fun than boring old boats (that'll get the buggers going Caldera, we should have some fun now! See I actually mentioned "boats" here .....Twice

incredible CAldera you just don't know when to quit. May I ask your age?

[gonzo]

By the way, Caldera Boats: where do you build boats? You don't give an physical or web address. Can you post those so we can see if we are talking out of place or you are just running your mouth?

I'll bet Caldera is just like all the rest of the "X" generation. They buy a $10,000 pre-built 120 cubic inch Evo, a $5,000 pre-built 5 speed trany, a $3,000 pre-built frame, a West Coast Choppers stock tank (bang a few creases into it so it's custom looking) open up the Custom Chrome catalog (I'm still a CC dealer by the way, having owned an outlaw shop some years ago) and pick out some controls, wheels, tires, oil tank, etc. Then they pay some one to squirt a pretty paint job, some else to powder coat and chrome, maybe they'll make a bracket to hang a key fob off of and they've built a chopper. Yea, that's the "X" way of "building" things.

He probably bolts aftermarket throttle bodies on pocket rockets and thinks he's a boat builder. This is the same generation that takes a $3,000 Celica, drops 40 grand into it and calls it a muscle car. Sorry, you could skip paying for all the wrenching and find a used Viper or Vette for that kind of money and actually have a real muscle car. But they are terribly good at thumb muscle control playing their X Box all day. These are the ones we read about with an M16 and scope on top of a water tower, pissed that yet another girl friend has walked out on them.

Hey guys this Caldera has got to be something - when even the Yanks take the piss you got to be onto a loser somewhere!

A Happy "peaceful" New Year to ye

[Caldera Boats]

Yeh, I admit it. I did ride a chopper built by 'BMC Choppers' with a whole bunch of aftermarket bolt-on performance crap, but I sold it after I realized it was nothing more than a fashion statement. A whole bunch of rugged individualists all dressed the same. LOL
That is why I love single handed sailing, it is perfect for an anti-social, recluse who could give a rats ass about the rest of the world. It is kinda the same freedom as being in-the-wind on a bike, but MUCH better. I even named my little 10 foot tender "Prospect" cuz it's used to do a the running around getting beer and groceries and such.
"Prospect! go get me a beer!" LOL

I outta here to go loft a bulkhead and start drinking beer!

Happy Fricking New Year!

So where would he be any different than the present bunch of affluent boomer clowns who throw down 10's of 1000's of $ on a scooter and ride around calling themselves "bikers"? We inadvertently spent a weekend in Daytona not knowing it was "Bike Week". The paper had an article, asking bikers various questions, one was "How come so few of you actually ride here and instead tow your bikes down in trailers?" The answers were a tossup between the fear of falling asleep while riding and the pain of hemoroids. My image of that bunch is pegged to the shirtless guy in the supermarket in his black leather chaps over bl pants with his bl vest and bl boots, festooned with chrome chains and snaps, a chrome chain connecting his bl wallet to his bl belt, an American flag doo-rag on his head, his bl gloved hands holding two brands of strawberry yogurt, his brain behind black shades comparing ingredients and trying to decide which was the better bargain. So, you owned an "outlaw" shop. Are these the kind of phoney BS spouting dorks you dealt with, or did you deal with real bikers, the kind that stink, the crude, rude, nasty, backstabbing pricks, the drug dealing, immoral thieves who actually practice mayhem instead of just idly BSing about it in a boating forum as Caldera did ? Seeing as how you'd bet that Caldera "is just like all the rest of the X generation", I'll bet that if you were making some money off him, you wouldn't be saying anything.
So you think it's gen x'ers who sit on watertowers killing innocent people? The only x'er I can think of that did that was ex-Marine Lance Corporal Charlie Whitman, the boomer who hid in the tower in Austin,Texas and killed 16, including his wife and mother, and wounded 33.
If any of you x'ers in the service in Iraq are reading this, you should come back here to play your X Boxes and make key fob brackets, it's a lot safer, but please, please, please stay away from the water towers. Sam

Ok Caldera Boats, that answers my question. You don't build boats and your claims are just hot air. Obviously there is no shop, or boat plans, or any of the other fantasies.

[Caldera Boats]

Damn! Gonzo are you high strung or what?
If you weren’t so far away I would invite you over to the shop for a beer and you could criticize the bulkhead I lofted and built today. I could of used some 'hot air' to get the epoxy to kick. LOL

Would always enjoy seeing photos of the boats you are building; reading jokes about killing yachters is probably not the way I'd like to start off the new year either, so I'm closing this thread.

As you say, "Let's get back to talking about BOATS!!!"
