I am not nearly brave enough! Them old ladies with the purses and moms wanting the latest and greatest for their kid is not worth it to me! Id rather not get smashed by purses and shopping carts.

I wish everyone had that mentality .:p
I remember reading a few years back of a person getting trampled at a Walmart... stabbing at a toy store... WTF people?!
There is some killer sales out there, but not worth losing a life over.

If I wasnt working I MIGHT have venetured out for that ONE bigger item that helps stretch my budget but thats a big IF to get up that early. Plus, I hate shopping. lol

My brother always finds one really good deal and waits in line at the store all night to get it. I guess he does it for the experience as well :p ...I've never done it and probably won't. I hate going shopping on regular days.

From what I've heard, Best Buy has no really good deals this year. Anyone hear that also? :confused:

To be honest, I havent heard of any HUGE sales really.. :confused:

I havent checked online ,but isnt there a website called black friday where you can view upcoming sales?

Yup! The site has all different sections and you pick the kind of stuff you want to look at.

I don't think there are ever any huge sales on everything in a store (I'm sure many things are on sale, but you know what I mean lol)... just one or two items that a store sells extremely cheap to draw in customers. Once customers are in the store to get those items they figure they might as well buy all the accessories for it and do other shopping as well. Most of the time the items that everyone is waiting for sell out in minutes so I don't think most customers in the store even get any huge deals lol

That’s why I like the internet, I can shop on line and do all the research and when I go to the store know exactly what I want and I ‘m in and out quick. If you spent as much time at work as you would spend in line, you would save money by paying regular sale price.

Come on out and ride at the Proving Grounds on Friday - tracks will be in great shape !!!

You can buy everyone on your list a T-shirt from the Park and kill two birds with one ride !!!!

Seriously though Memberships make great christmas gifts, they are on sale now for $100 off the regular price. Now through January 31st they are $500 for unlimited riding. We also have gift certificates available in any denomination.

I go if there's a good deal on tools or something at sears. I got a pretty nice roller tool chest and like 13 more drawers for a pretty good deal last year. Other than that I pretty much order everything online. The only black friday deals I really look forward to are at the local bike shops. Minimum of 20% and up to 70% off on all parts and accessories. Can't beat that. It's a pick your discount kinda thing out of a box.

Haha, doesn't suprise me with Troy....I'm still thinkin' he has everyone I know beat, on the dirtiest jokes/quips ever. Ha.

I can kind of relate with Brandon. I haven't rode in 4 months now. Bikes sitting there waiting on a prep and some mobbin'..but, no money for anything.

......I'll relate to the Kelsey thing later in life, when I'm a father. ha.

Driving duties? Just wait until she wants to do what I was doing at 17.... drive solo to every WORCS race. 7 hours or 26 hours. Oh yeah! Lol. I'm sure we'll see you guys at Speedworld.
