I had not heard this rumor but read what Vech posted on another forum. Thought I'd pass it along here:
Folks
For some reason, everyone thinks we are shutting down, going out of business. People keep telling me they heard this. I do not know where or how this rumor got started, but let me set the record straight.
This is NOT true. We are cutting back a little, to get some time off for Richard and I. We are both 67 years old, and want to take turns getting some time off to go ride, go to events, stare into the setting sun, etc. We just are not accepting complete bikes anymore.
We ARE accepting engines for oil slinger service, transmissions, final drives, headlight buckets for overhaul and wiring, reline brakes, smaller jobs, not major ones.
And of course, I intend to supply parts, and offer free tech advice, until we take the big dirt nap.
