Couple'a questions:
  1. Did you chip in on any of my stuff? We all know the answer is "No" and you are 100% out of line.

  2. That being the case, why do you think your opinion of my stuff matters? In no uncertain terms, your opinion does not matter in terms of what I choose to do to my stuff.

  3. Did I ,ever, ask you what I should be doing to my stuff? we both know that's hard "No". yet here you are... shooting off your mouth.

  4. Do you see me pressing my stuff/style of doing things on anyone or telling people not to get headwork? Right, that's another hard "No". What you do see is a bunch of ***** asking why I'm not them and doing what they do. I'd like to think that I've been pretty cool about that bullshit. So why not, respectfully, return favor?

  5. What are you trying to prove, that you are a tool and illiterate? I believe you... you can stop

If you, or anyone else, don't like what I did or decisions I made, good for you.


I'm glad we had the opportunity to have this talk and now have this meeting of the minds. It's good to get this kinda stuff out on the table to avoid these types of problems in the future.

not interested. i don't do head work or custom. if i wanted custom s&s heads, i'd go with the FM outlaws, https://www.fuelmotousa.com/p-28619-...d-porting.html

3 1/2hrs away but H&D in Lillian AL. If interested, talk to Heath. Tuned my bike and did a great job.

As long as the message is received, I think we are good. Would seem like 90% of that would go without saying but, it needed to be said. I'm not putting up with wholesale disrespect. I'd expect no less from any of you.

I'm sorry I even had to do that in this thread.

I hear you. That's near the same distance as Doc. I'm just not willing to invest the time. It's not that big a deal to me. Thank you though.
