Hello from South Florida
 

Mostly Florida native but have lived all over the world. Gun lover most of my life and doing the best I can to pass on the skills and tools to the next generation, my kids. RSO a couple decades ago for a while but got out of it and into the auto industry. It's a bit safer :)
I'm using same name here as I do elsewhere for my own ease.
I rode a Hayabusa for many years. It was white. Since I'm so far south and married to a Spanish woman I named the bike Blanca (Spanish for white with a feminine connotation) and Busa short for Hayabusa, hence Blanca Busa. Don't have the bike anymore as most my time is spent with kids or at work. :(
But they will still be making them when I'm ready again....

Some folks I recognize here, some I don't.
Hopefully I'll fit in....

Thanks for the invite y'alls.

Welcome to the asylum!

Welcome aboard.

welcome

What does this mean 'COTEP CBOB0717', what's the CBOB part mean?

And how does one find out their Cotep #?
From my profile page the browser bar has the html info and 'member #*<*>% 933' or something like that. Am I #933?

Welcome. Namvet72 is keeper of the numbers, he'll get around to ya

Yes, welcome to the asylum. Some are the residents and some of us are the gate keepers, if you know what I mean. :D

Well if it ain't 933 and I can pick I'd like 007 or 69 as those are my two favorite numbers. :D

Welcome to the insanity!!!! evilnanner

Welcome Blanca.

Welcome from Texas.

The "forbidden fruit" :)

NIB just in.....
Is that what you refer to?

welcome from SD!!

Blanca, once upon a time in a galaxy far far away COTEP was a sub-sub invitation forum. It was a Dan Wesson sub forum on the 1911 forum. There are a lot of Dan Wesson fan boys around here. Just a heads up we don't use the K word around here, they are referred to as Mimbers.:D

Ok understood. Now I understand Mimber Lover. :)
But I do have two Colt Commanders and a bunch of Hks.

How long will it be before I stop loving Mimbers?

:facepalm: ...... You should have never started !! :D

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome from CT...

Yes, but they were once much less expensive than that. The current VBOB is like an upgraded CBOB. Here is a VBOB on Gun Broker with a starting price $460 less than that CBOB:

I don't want to pay a hefty premium for what is basically a collector's item.

Understood. I only posted that to see if it was what you all were talking about.
The one I linked is a seller which seems to actually be only miles from me?

Given time I could find one for less. I have strong googlefu....

Howdy stranger...

Hi Bonz! :toast:

Welcome from Oklahoma from a real live Mimber lover. I love my K word, 'cause my DW don't work. :)

Hey BB, just saw your introductory post. Welcome to Cotep!

Welcome abroad......

Welcome from Washington.

HI BB! http://yoursmiles.org/csmile/preved/c0139.gif

Sorry about the numbers. 007 was taken and Skosh stole the 69. We can talk to him to see if he wants to give the 69 to you...

Those guys exchanging 69????

:eek :funny Maybe they can share it?

I see this going downhill fast........:eek:

funny Wait, let me make some popcorn.

Blanca! Good to see you finally made your way over here!

Um the words 'him' and 'sixty-nine' do not compute?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to a special kind of crew. We have some of the finest members on here, so you will fit right in.

Thank you,

Henry

A little late but welcome to the group, BB!
