He was out of Arizona and moved his shop here a couple of years ago. Supposed to be really good. I went out and talked to him for a while a couple of months ago. Seems very knowledgeable.

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of nice stuff on the new bikes, but it was not "double the payment and for a longer term" awesome enough. YMMV

Wish she gave me a break the second time on the drum but I understand. Not everyday a fuel pump ***** the bit on the dyno.

And none of us ski. I used to.
We're supposed to go to the condo in Avon Dec 12-19 but I don't know if I'm gonna be wrapped up with work or not. We don't ski either....knees are too bad!

I may have got his screen name wrong. The other engine guru on the forum besides you.

Paid my bike off last fall. Doesn't mean I can afford a new one. As much as I'd like a newer RG.
