Default Big Thanx

Howard,

I know I called you to thank you for the work you did on my front forks. But I also wanted to thank you publicly so to speak.

The work you did and the research and time spent on my forks is greatly appreciated. As you know I was about the throw the baby out with the bath water. The couple of years I spent in frustration going from stock to Progressive monotubes to Ohlins. Ohlins are probably great for most but I was not so please with the ride and always knew it should be better. You took a good product and made it great and for that I thank you.

Today when I took my first test ride with them I knew something was different. I took them through the paces hitting the roads I knew and knew how the old setup responded, All I could keep thinking was this is how it should be. I quickly gained new confidence and began hitting the curves harder. What a fantastic ride all around. When I returned my wife knew immediately by the look on my face that I now have satisfaction.

Thanx again Howard
