I am so crossing my fingers right now that you are the real thing and not one of the regular malcontents posting under a new account.

Perspective, dude, it's all a matter of perspective. I can remember, years ago when I was in the army, labouriously typing in data on a Commodore 64 and having to save it to a floppy disk. A simple 8pg document pretty much used up all the available space.

I am envious. Since I sold my Ural sidecar rig back in February, my last ride of the season on the Road Glide was last week. There's about 1cm of snow on the ground up here in Grey County and they've already been pounding the salt into the roads, so that's it for me till April. :(

That right there is the winning post in this thread.

The Brazilian Federal Highway Police were the ones riding real bikes back in the day; behold the Volkswagen powered Amazonas...

200k??!! Well done, sir!

Heading out on the bike this morning to attend my company's annual group hug in Wingham.

And now the taxpayers get to pay for the cleanup.

True, that. And it's the only statement in your post I agree with. No wonder you take great pains to remain anonymous.

Thing is, RIM did not set that sale price. RIM sells their products wholesale to all the various retailers, such as Staples. RIM receives all the money up front before their products hit the shelves. Once they are paid for, the store then sets the retail price, in this case $200. RIM has nothing...

Thanks for all that, Firestart. As I alluded to already, my knowledge of Communist and Facist countries is pretty limited. I'd heard that religion was kept under wraps and services done in secrecy, makes me wonder how it managed to survive especially in places like Russia. May I ask why you...

Interesting read, although I'm not sure I want to know what "professional" kindergarten entails. :) Yugoslavia was another country that soldiers were not allowed to visit, so I appreciate your insight.

No, that's not what I'm saying. If none of RIM's products offer what YOU want, then by all means go to the competition to find what makes YOU happy. But for people to sit there and make endless comments about the daily operations of a business, slamming it simply because it is Canadian and...

Just as I thought - no qualifications, just a lot of smoke and mirrors when taken to task. Go, go Gadget Ignore Button!

Interesting. Being raised in a military family and then joining the military during the tail end of the Cold War, my perceptions of Communists countries are largely formed by what was fed to me on a need to know basis. Perhaps propaganda goes both ways. At any rate, the closest I ever came to...

Yep. Given a choice between the A5 Autobahn and the 401 from Oshawa through to Milton, I`ll take the Autobahn - any day, any weather condition.

Easy. Read the drivel you just posted. You seem to think you have insider`s knowledge of the company, its operations and its executives, so let`s hear how that came about. List your qualifications and what your position is within the industry and who you know at RIM. Tell us in detail what makes...

You don't really need a tech background to see through a lot of the ******** that's being posted on here. But I echo your comment about it being a Canadian success story and it is too bad that a lot of people seem to take a peverse pleasure in what they think is its imminent demise, but what do...

When I taught several years ago, speedos and tachs were removed from all the course bikes. This was done to take away the distraction, so that the newbie riders would focus more on keeping their head and eyes up and scanning the road ahead.

On behalf of my wife - who is a Senior Project Manager of Manufacturing at RIM Waterloo - we thank you for your support. Every BB and Playbook sold gets me one step closer to living carefree at home in the manner to which I will become accustomed. :D
