How I got here
I was contacted by Nogoodnic, and also I think by Augi. I however, have stayed away from "open Forums" where topic of discussions like "where can I find the cheapest kit" and other chatter negative to a good business with real service to offer abounds. I therefore stayed away from here for quite a long time.
I run a good clean business, and have built somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 Motorbicycles, and have just licensed Solano County Choppers to build the Simpson Model 10, as an Xcelsior (this is a NEW unreleased model of the droploop, 3" lower, and 9 degrees more rake, with forward rockers). I will still be selling kits, and building, but he will be in production, currently in 5 colors. This is a big step, and may send High Quality Motorbicycles into markets we have not touched, this, to me, is very exciting.
There is a strange phenomanum (spelled that one wrong!!!) in intenet chat sites where they grow, sometimes very quickly, run a while, and then stagnate, then some times the owner, or moderator will either lose interest or die, and the group gets filled with spam. This happened to Kings site, Steve Millers site, and a couple of others. I hope not here, multiple moderators is a very good idea.
So I am now here and hope to help others with some aspects of repair, design and building, but I've got to admit, that after over 7 years of hearing the same newbie complaints, comments, and failures, that many times I will lurk, and let others answer those questions. I am always more than happy to help, if help is truly needed.
