Penton Racing Talk / Vintage KTM Engine Deliveries
January 07, 2005, 02:10:26 AM
Thanks, Skip, for the information. Anyone who has talked to Bobby knows he is a busy man and has a passion and wealth of experience and you can't help not liking the guy.
 Most people are looking for that competitive edge Bob builds into his engines. That's why I sent him my engine.
 I know he has had a very rough year with health problems both himself and members of his family. I think he has a problem in being too nice and wanting to help everyone with their engine problems. He needs to say, "Sorry, I have too much on my plate. Call back in 6 months and let's see where I am."  None of us are getting any younger and our competitive drive may still be there but our time is limited. We get impatient and want to ride while we still can.
 There needs to be a reasonable turnaround on the service he provides. He must determine if he can fulfill the request and be honest to the best of his ability and if necessary ask if the customer would like his engine back.
 State it will take a year to do an engine and let the customer decide. It is a disservice to state he can do it in 4 months and then take more than a year. People spend time and $$ restoring and racing these great bikes and if you race, you're on a schedule.
 He needs to call the customer when convenient. Everyone has a message machine.  Keeping people in the dark is not cool.
 Thanks for the reply. A frustrated, wanting to ride his Penton POG member.
Sorry my Email didn't work. Sorry to get you involved. [8D]

I have to agree with Rob , California. Year round riding weather and the best time to ride is in the winter. Best traction and a hour or two drive you can be in the desert or the mountains or the beach. Only problem is the wako tree huggers and Illegals.
Thanks,Dan.
