Where is Howard set-up in Daytona? He said the map was on his site, but damned if I could find it.

Never mind, found the map.

LMAO!!!

Started to post the same thing. First time I got Bob on the phone, I tell him who I am and tell him I want to buy one of his exhaust systems and need to ask him some questions. His reply:

"So what, you think you're going to single-handedly keep me in fuc&%$g business or something?"

Had I not read almost every page on his web site I probably would have hung up on him. He absolutly knows about exhaust theory and practice.

Sounds like Bob and Howard are alot alike.

I had the opposite service, he called me to complain that I hadn't gotten my shocks yet and "he" was pissed..... I have snow in my yard so I can't even get to my scoot in the shed! He followed up a few weeks later and asked why I hadn't called for help with install. I am guessing it was the bad timing of your call. I will f/u with info after the install.

did you ever think that there is two sides of every discussion. Have you actually looked in side of yourself and thought you get what you deserve. I may have just not wanted your money because of who you are. No harm but I guess you did the best thing and moved on. I guess I did not want to deal with you. BTW, thank you for calling just once.

Well said Howard.

BTW..... my Ohlins that you built for me last year have carried me for 30,000 smooth miles. Thanks.
