Talk about blindside!

Not sure what's next, but I do know no more audio upgrades for a while lol Just wish it would have happened a few months ago BEFORE I got this audio bug lol

Thanks for all the help guys, really good info here and great people with a ton of knowledge. I'll be back at it once I find something else and get settled, let's hope sooner rather than later

Sorry to hear about that.
Good luck on your next endeavors Just because you have had a snag put on any upgrades doesn't mean that you cannot hang out with us and lend some help to the ones just starting out chasing the unicorn.

Putting a "hold" on unnecessary spending is a wise move.

As far as the forum, please continue to participate, even if you aren't doing anything yourself.

Best of Luck to you!

Bunker that sucks, but on the upside is a every challenge is an opportunity to succeed and surely you will come out of it on the other end.

The real upside to consider and this happens to me all the time as we "chase the unicorn" is that it stands right now you have a bad azz bike, with a great amp, some bumping Arc Moto's and in the grand scheme of things that already fantastic as it is. It's the hobby that we enjoy but damn sometimes I have to remind myself that my bike sounds great, looks great, and life's challenges are just life. Even when things are tough, we have it good.

Good luck man.

Good luck Bro!

Sorry to hear that Bunker...Happened to me in the early 80's. I was working at Texaco refinery in Lockport, (great union job) came in one afternoon to punch in there was a notice on the clock that the plant was closing, thought it was a joke, it wasn't. Reaganomics took out Texaco and GAF and CAT in joliet. Good luck brother, maybe it will turn out for the better, don't be a stranger here!

Hey Bunker, you mentioned they were shutting down your division if you care to say what company or at least what you do (or did) for a living. I'm just curious. If you care not to say thats cool also! Like I said before good luck Bro!
