Nice Mo-Sheen....

Just to be up front... as you read through some posts... there are some comments on how we feel that the Service Honda bikes could use a little more care in their assembly...

Dont get all butt hurt!

AJ builds some nice stuff, your bike as an example. But he also has to deal with making a profit, like any business and cant spend too much time on any one bike.

That said, I'm sure you will also see some more comments in the future on the subject.

Enjoy your bike, their awesome ..... and thats a fact.

:wink:

Very nice bike and I can relate to the weather being an issue.

Like Bob said, there are some strong feelings about certain issues here, but it is due in large part to everyone wanting the best possible bikes for the consumer to purchase and more to the point; provides an open and honest dialog on how to build your own aluminum bike to your standards and not someone else's.

Thanks for the coments guys and I am aware of the SH feelings from some of the guys coming over to TT and such. I have no problem with it at all. Competition is good. Fact is, I live 15 minutes from SH and grew up with owner so I got a pretty good deal. AJ is a nice guy too. I look forward to catching up on the info in here :D

I am just glad to be back on a smoker. :burnout:
