the term "self proclaimed guru of harley" comes to mind when i read the articles in american iron. not as bad as the dorks from new york though, the occ gang. sure donny peterson knows a lot about harleys, it's obvious. but there are tons of guys without the media exposure who are brilliant as well. discovery channel made the tuettels of OCC what they are.

As a personal friend of Donny's I'm curious why you are attacking him.
Donny is a very intelligent, giving and polite man and doesn't deserve to be slandered in such a manner. He is an incredibly thorough individual when it comes to authoring technical articles and if he states something in writing he is right more times than he is wrong.
Of course everybody has the right to disagree, but isn't it better to do so in a decent manner?
Cheers,
Speed

Donny is a big target for those who disagree with him. I've never read a single instance where he fought back dirty. He is a class guy. It's fine to disagree with a person just don't get personal.
As far as I'm concerned, a person should take the time read his books before they slam him. If you don't take the time to educate yourself, then maybe you should stay silent.
Donny isn't a friend of mine although he has replied a some emails I sent with specific questions. I have invested in his books and I will continue to buy them as they some out. He has 2 out now and several more in the works.
Just my 2 cents.

Lighten up? I'm afraid I don't see anything caustic in my post. Certainly not as bombastic as the person to whom I was addressing. I even qualified my statement by mentioning people were free to disagree.
With regards to the terminal velocity tuning units I have never broached the subject with Donny, but they are on display at Heavy Duty Cycles. Speaking of which the shop is no longer his. He sold it to Tattoo Tony earlier this year.
And, with regards to Donny answering email - yes he is very good. However, the email address noted earlier in this thread no longer goes to Donny since he sold the business.

Keep drinking the Kool-aid
You should really get your head out of your a@s. I assume that you hope for the day when your daughter proudly displays her new vest stating "Property of the Hell's Angels". You'll be so proud that a gang now "owns" her.
