I an no longer going to renew my web site, just another expense I do not need right now. The site will close on Aug, 11 2013.  I will still be making parts, but strictly on an pre order basis. If you need some thing, spacer, exhaust tip etc, just email me and I can usually ship in a 5 to 6 day window. Thanks for all the support.

Hello, Grumpy. Sorry to hear about the website. Could you please post the web address? I'd like to see it before you go offline. Thanks.

I am looking at a new location, possibly my provider, Verizon. I can build a free site there, just need to talk to them and see what is allowed.  I am dropping my old site, as it is several hundred bucks a year, plus registering the domain yearly. I don't make enough to keep paying for it.  But I will still be around as long as the good lord sees fit, and still making parts.

A word to the wise .... don't go with Verizon, they like to own your domain and tie you in to unnecessary mtnce. fees. Plus their template websites will always look like ... well, a template.  Grumpy, if you can hold on until we return from vacation this weekend, I can help you with that website. It's what I do for a living. We can get a custom website together for you for appx. $60/year.

Todd has been meaning to pay you a visit anyway about the fix for the rear wheel bearing and your plans for a trailer. We can talk more then about your options, if you like.

That sounds like a good deal, I have had it with Webs.com. Rates keep going up, and very bad support.

Keep your domain name...transfer it to godaddy.com or something...should be $15ish a year or so...less if you multi-year renew. You can then point it anywhere...and there are lots of cheap (and good) hosts.

Did that, had a coupon, so cost me 2.99 for another year.  Thanks for the heads up.

Will give you a call Monday or Tuesday to set up a visit, plus it will give us excuse for Valk ride (as if we needed one) if not raining. Please private message me with your phone number.
