Hey guys check Jcoless Ip and this post IP and the times.....we are NOT the same person. Geez guys do you treat all your new members like this or just the guys trying to save you a buck? Steve
SS550,
No, I do not treat new members this way, usually. However, when someone new shows up here and they make to what I percieve to be dispariging remarks about someone who I have a great deal of respect for I'm going to defend them whether they need my help or not.
And by doing your homework I meant several things. #1 about the tank in particular, which on at least the point that is most important to me, BOSS is the sole distributor for a certain time frame to help recoup the rather large sum of money that he had to out lay for the mold. Do you know how much a mold costs??? #2 Had you done some more homework, IE a search of posts made by BOSS, you would have easily determined that he is not a "used car salesman". In fact, you would have found that he is very forthcoming with information about our bikes. #3 If you have ever spent anytime with Rick on the phone you would know that he is indeed a true "enthusiast", and an all around cool guy, and willing to help you out with any problems you might be having over the phone, free of charge.
So, let me start anew,first by apologizing for basically ripping you a new one publicly. I should have just sent you a pm, and as a moderator I should know better. So again, you have my apology, as I do not wish to alienate a new member. We all make mistakes from time to time, it's part of being human. It's what one does after the mistake is made that seperates the different degree's of charachter.
That being said. Welcome to the UHE at a very exciting time for most of us here that ride in the west and have finally found the holly grail, a big tank for long rides like all the other bikes have. Myself personally, I will gladly buy my tank from Rick to support him and his efforts over I believe the last year or more trying to bring this project together.
