Who wants to ride a desmocedici?

I just got a brilliant idea!

It won't be a while before people even get delivery of their desmos, but most of us will never even ride one. I have a possible solution, if we get enough people on board.

There's an assload of people that want to ride this bike, so how many of you would actually pay to ride it? If we can get 150+ people paying 500 bucks a piece for a day with the bike, that's nearly got it paid for.

If we can get 200 of us in, that will pay for the bike to tour around the country and the insurance to match I would think. Anyone else think this is a good idea? Not sure if there is 200 of us here, but with a bit of marketing I think we could get much much more than 200 of the sportbike population?
 
Hicks,

Great idea. I want it first.

What's that you say? 199 other people want it first also? I want my money back!

What's that you say? Rider 37 crashed it? I want my money back!

What's that you say? Rider 67 blew it up at the track? (Rumor is there was no oil in it!) I want my money back!

What's that you say? The tour is on hold 'cause the bike's (still!!) in the shop? I want my money back!

What's that you say? You want an additional $500 dollars from each "owner" 'cause the insurance company wants $15,000 dollars/year just for liability and refuses to cover damage? I want my money back!

What's that you say? You can't put my name on the title 'cause the Motor Vehicle Bureau won't title the bike in 200 people's names? If my name's not on the title, I want my money back!

What's that you say? The Motor Vehicle Bureau won't register the vehicle in New Jersey 'cause it's not gonna be garaged in that state? I want my money back!

I see some problems developing.

BTW, somebody else posted the same idea a few months back. Intriguing, but unworkable.

Lawyers are lots of things: Arrogant. Obnoxious. Boring. Self-Centered. Over-bearing. Condescending. Manipulative. Talkative. Just to name a few adjectives.

But stupid? Nope. I've mets lots of lawyers during my tenure as a member of the bar. And while I've met many I didn't like, I can honestly say I haven't met a single one that was stupid.
 
I guess that depends on your definition of stupid.

In my book, being "Arrogant. Obnoxious. Boring. Self-Centered. Over-bearing. Condescending. Manipulative. Talkative." means you're stupid.
 
Squid,

Sounds like you need a new editor. www.dictionary.com defines stupid as, "lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull." That's not synonymous with the aforementioned adjectives. If you're gonna gratuitously insult somebody, (or a group of people), you might want to think about picking an appropriate insult. Otherwise, you just end up looking silly.

For years two brothers - one a lawyer, the other a deaf-mute accountant - worked for a mobster. Whenever the mobster and the accountant needed to communicate, the lawyer brother would use sign language and serve as an interpreter. One day, the mobster realized that his books were short $3 million. He called the two brothers. Looking at the lawyer and pointing to the the accountant, he screamed: "you tell this son-of-a-bitch that I want to know where my money is !!!" The brothers conversed briefly, and the lawyer reported that his brother had no idea what the mobster was talking about. Furious, the mobster put a gun to the accountant's head and screamed at the lawyer brother, "Tell this bastard that he lets me know - right now- where the damned money is or I'll blow his brains out!" The lawyer told this to his brother, who immediately explained - in frantic sign language - that the money was hidden in a suitcase under his basement's steps. "Well? What'd he say?" yelled the mobster. The lawyer shrugged. "He says you don't have the balls."
 
You know all about looking silly. You're the one writing tirades about Hick's idea.(Silly?) You looked up the meaning of the word stupid on-line so you can inform me of my ignorance.(Silly yet?) You use sentences like "That's not synonymous with the aforementioned adjectives."(Who talks like that? Silly people.)

If you're going to accuse me of using the wrong word to insult someone, at least know which word I used. You should have read my post more carefully before being so quick to search dictionary.com, otherwise you just end up looking silly.

I called lawyers idiots, not stupid. Idiots have the mental age of a three year old child, and I didn't need to site sources for the definition.
