Dude!.....you work at the Zone?!.....man, I should own stock in them!....I've been going to the one in the city I work in since they opened, and that's been several years......hell, I know all the managers, most of the employees' ( high turnaround) and.....have even toyed with the thought of getting a part time job there.....( since I'm usually there 3 to 4 times a week!!).....but, it's not that I need the job, just thought that since I'm always there, I might as well get the employee discount.....but, then again, the manager I know always hooks me up.....so.....The Zone rocks!!Originally posted by Ironriot View Post
I had a S-10 that I bought several years ago, that I re-built with all Zone stuff.....lowered it, painted it...ect...it was a nice truck when I got done.....matter of fact, was just there today, and bought a new cover for the GS, plus a valve cover breather( one of those little chrome blue cone ones) ....the cover only cost me 6.99 thanks to the rewards program.....
Seems that this thread is only a 3-way conversation now between you, me, and Cafe......ah well....you guys are cool regardless....sh*t.....I still need to send you the link for the bags....I'll try to get that to you either tonight or tomorrow....Comment

Hell yeah I work at AutoZone, it rules cuz its like my toy store. And yeah employee discount is the sh!t. Especially when rebuilding an old bike. And to tell you the truth the reason I got a job there was because the discount was enticing. Of course this was when I had a small P.O.S. toyota that we were making road worthy for my brother because he needed a car. Then I bought a Ranger and yeah that damn little truck is so dependable its not even funny. I treat it like **** and its never left me anywhere. So my discount went largely unused for a while until I got the GS. Now I make a few trips in a day whenever I'm working on a bike just ot pick up things I need for itOriginally posted by 97Intruder View Post
And yeah I've noticed that its only been us three but its all good. You guys are cool. Thanks for the link btwComment

Too cool man. I love getting deals like that. One man's semi-junk is another's badass treasure huh. 6'4 260 eh? Damn you guys make me look like a midget. I bet Intruder is like 6 something also. Puts me to shame for sureOriginally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment

Not quite bro.....more like 5'9 180'ish.....you need to put the bug in the big-wigs ear at the Zone that they'd get a lot more biz if they carried bike parts, and not just eye-candy(skull stickers that SOME people here don't like!!Originally posted by Ironriot View Post
).....unless they already do in your area...up here in Indianus they don't.

Hey what do you know there's someone else on here shorter than 6 feet also. I'm actually 5'9 180 also... You know I was thinking about suggesting something like that. But I really wouldn't know where to begin suggesting it. Especially since AutoZone is going through a change right now. They're selling more of the Duralast brand now than others, so its like they're trying to make more profit and cut out outside vendors but I'm just a lowly peon so i dunno... But yeah a parts place that sells motorcycle stuff would be badass. Its annoying having to go to the dealer whenever I want to get a special part especially since they're usually arrogant b@stards who for some reason seem to not want my money.Originally posted by 97Intruder View PostNot quite bro.....more like 5'9 180'ish.....you need to put the bug in the big-wigs ear at the Zone that they'd get a lot more biz if they carried bike parts, and not just eye-candy(skull stickers that SOME people here don't like!!).....unless they already do in your area...up here in Indianus they don't.Comment

Ive got a complaint about Duralast...they're alternators SUCK...just my viewpoint. I *just* put one in my volvo about 3 weeks ago..and its not charging already...What gives?? Do they have a warranty on that? I didnt pay attn at the store, i was in a hurry.Comment

#1 Duralast is cheap for a reason
#2 ......hell I forgot...Comment
-
Oh....
#2 if there was a person that came up with a parts store that catered to ALL makes/models of bikes....would prolly put the dealers to shame, seems that the ones I have dealt with were small mom/pops stores, but their prices wern't much cheaper since they had to pay for over-head also, PLUS compete......they didn't last long, but, a chain like the Zone....should capatalize on that idea.....might have to mention that to my manager buddies....
later guys...time for bed for me...Comment

Yup intruder's got a point. And really its just a crap shoot when getting a Duralast part. Some people have had the same part for years while others go out every year. And yes they have warranty. Lifetime warranty actually. I just hope you gave them the right phone number to look up the warranty.... But I'll go ahead and tell you why the Duralast and the Valucraft parts are crap. When they say premium rebuild they're just sh!tting you. The reason they take back the core part is because they open it up see whats bad with it and only replace THAT part nothing else. So that means that the next time that someone buys that part, something else is gonna fail. We recommend Duralast Gold for a reason. Duralast Gold is 100% brand new. Everything brand spanking new. But on that same note I've noticed that the Duralast Gold batteries SUCK. The cheapo valucraft all black ones are pretty good. They hardly ever crap outOriginally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment

HA! i have a duralast gold battery, and it too crapped on me, but i think in large part to the crappy alternator...*sigh* if its not one thing its another...bike running rough...car wont start...BAH! lolComment
-
Yup that'll do it. An alternator crapping out will take out a battery.... I also have another theory about cars and car parts. I noticed that things go out on cars in trends. Like one month we'll sell ALOT of starters and hardly any alternators. Then we'll sell ALOT alternators and no starters. And its all happens in monthly or weekly trends. Which leads me to this theory: There's someone sitting in detroit that decides what part gives out for that month and pushes a button and blam they go out on cars everywhereComment

Man I finally finished reading through all of this.
Intruder Good looking bike I thought of use that mirage paint on my bike, but rather then painting the whole thing with it just have some flames painted that color.
I try to avoid the Zone anymore because the refused to sell me an edelbrock carb for my small block chevy in an El Camino, because it wasn't in there computers.
So now I useally go to advance. Plus its a little closer.Comment
