Beemer Bill is doing fine, but not wrenching anymore. He swings by the shop now and then. I'm curious to know who said that one of us went to Hymark, thats insane.

Oh No!  How did that happen?  Were you insubordinate to the HD mechs?  Hope you find something soon.  Is Keven carrying the whole shop now?

That really sucks and is not good news for loyal customers. You guys are the only reason some of us continue to use PPM's services.

Hey,

Nothing lined up as of now, not really the time of year to look for another mechanic job. Kevin is the only one for now, but dont be surprised if you see more changes in the future. It was great working with all our loyal customers, hope I did you well.

Dammmmnnnnn!!  You never had the chance to do me!!!    laughingdp laughingdp laughingdp

Sorry, I wasn't planning to take my little monster to that HD shop anyway.  I may use your services now that you are clear of there.  Anson has been doing all my wrenching since the bike is not under warranty anymore.  Hey, how come you never ride with us?

Well, I dont even have a street bike, so that would make things difficult, lol. I ride the trails up in divide, rainbow falls etc...  If you need anything service wise send me an email and we can work something out, that goes for anyone Wink

Everytime I go in there, another one has bitten the dust.  Dave, my gut tells me that all the good guys from the old shop will be gone in 6 months to a year.  After that, nobody will go there for service, and they're already not selling bikes because nobody wants to buy from them (not that we sold a lot back in on 21st Street).  They'll drop both franchises in 1 to 2 years, guaranteed.  Maybe sooner.

Glad we can still hit you up for service once all the good guys have moved on.

I saw Kevin and Larry yesterday...needless to say it's not the same and they miss ya Dave.

I hope Rob Brooks bank account is hemoraging money!

Hey David,  How about setting up a how to class for the group?  I would love to kick in some $ to learn how to do belts, valves, etc.

fun time!
