what a good guy Grumpy is, just want to give a public shout out. Bill graciously offered to check out an Interstate for me and sent me great pics and info about the bike. Corresponded several times with answers to my questions and set my mind at ease in purchasing the bike. Wasn't able to fly out for 5 weeks because of work. When I did get the bike Bill offered to service the rear end for me before I took off cross country which was a big relief. Thanks again Bill I owe you one. Made it home safe but wasn't without drama. I posted about it on the SoCal board if you are interested. Rob

Yep, makes some fine parts too. I just got a spacer from him last week for the double row bearing mod next time the wheel is off.

 Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get. |

I mean you hardly know the guy and...oh wait that's his handle...  Rob, your singing to the choir here in the Sunshine State but Thank You for letting us know..Bill never would have. Bill is a humble, knowledgeable and skilled man. He has done quite a bit of the heavy work on my bike as well. Did some work a little over a year ago that probably saved the lives of my wife and I. I, like John, am proud to call him a friend..and quite a machinist and engineer to boot!! |
