    When I bought my R80 g/s From Infracaninophile , a few years back . He had purchased so many parts from them , he grew sick of eating the M & M's -so included a bunch of bags with the bike , when I bought it .

    I have never ordered parts from them - but I had their candies !!

    I think its a fun touch , they add .

    I ordered valve cover gaskets, nuts, and a few, and washer. Shipping was $8US more than what the goods costs.

    M&Ms were included.

    It took a little of the absurdity of it all out.

    I just got two float bowl gaskets from Max about 2 weeks ago. M&Ms and two stickers in the package. :clap

    Got my order earlier this week. It seems M&M's packaging has changed and rather than a papery wrapping, it is now a thin plastic. They went flying as I opened it and the whole thing split open.:eek1

    Luckily, I got to them all before my dog did.:D

    I ordered some gaskets last summer, shipped with the M&Ms. The dog ate the gaskets as well as the M&Ms.

    It's hard to bitch at Max about a recently received order when your beak is full of M&M's. It's a brilliant practice by (IMHO) a top drawer dealer.

    My last 3 or 4 orders from Max this year lacked M&M's. :(
