Yes, American cars are much better now. I'm sure it was foreign competition that started that ball rolling. > Sometimes it does not come because you have no idea you > have a problem.

Ahhh...Arthur Anderson...Err...Enron...I did'nt realize ethics had any thing to do with modern captialism > His competition is non-existent and he has more than > enough money and image. To much competition is bad, so is too little. Remember before "Frank" Borland (AKA Philippe Kahn ) released a $49. Turbo Pascal compiler for CP/M, Microsoft was selling their compiler for $695. > We tried to help Bagster get their new seats > into the US in a serious way but there seems to be no interest on their > part or no ability Let's persue the relationship between what's in motorcycle seats and what's in seatmaker's brains ;) > > No product should ever have to be modified to work on a bike it was > designed for.

I agree, it's weird to think that this even has to be said, let alone the fact that it happens regularily with Corbin. I arrived at Corbin's new building just after they moved in to Hollister?, looked at all the high end cars in the executive area of the parking lot, the lack of motorcycles, got back on my bike & drove off without even going in. I don't have anything against Mike Corbin, but over the years I've heard a lot of "problems" people have had and think of my business. Mistakes are made, that's inevitable, but for a mistake not to be remedied satisfactorily on the first try is incredibly rare, I find it hard to believe that more energy isn't spent fixing things of first try.
