if theyd have had em in stock, id be wearin a pair right now, instead, think ill stick with what i got - they seem like cool guys (spoke to em a few times over phone and email) and I like their **** - guess at least they are upfront about the wait - some dont say that until they have your money
but yea, how hard is it to make a pair of bars and get em coated?!?!?

They are cool bars though, youll be happy when ya get em, and thats probably what keeps the demand up
Hey, if Washington is that starved for labor, we got plenty of 'curbsiders' down here in Home depot parking lots thatll work for 10 bucks an hour and a burrito! LOL

Businesses often have growing pains. You can't hire a bunch of guys unless you are making enough profit to pay them, the landlord, taxes, insurance, overhead, materials, shipping. Should I keep going? Give them a break. They ain't Walmart.

I wouldn't wait on them...is there something I'm missing that makes them special compared to other ape bars? Not being a smart a**, I don't get it.

Anyway, I got a tracking number today. Looks like after 8 weeks, I'm finally gonna get my Gimps. I REALLY hope they're worth the wait.

Amen to the bars and the beer. I hope to God mine are there when I get home, they damn well better be after 3.5 months!

I would kill a man for a beer right now, some might say I have a problem haha. At least we get two beers for the superbowl!

Ummm.... yeah. This is Minnesota. It was -4 this morning. The only road outta here is 3 blocks of solid ice until I get to clear asphalt. Maybe you could indicate which side is the bright one?

Haha, 2 months+ waiting period? Blow me... thats just crazy ridiculous. No reason for that, especially if they are going to bill you immediately like that. Those are definitely the best looking apes on a street bob in my opinion, but I'm not about to wait 2+ months for mine.
