Kip, vent away man! Don't let one knob bring you down though. Overall you have to do what you have to do for you and your family but, hopefully you see you've got an Army of supporters that have appreciated you and your staffs continued help! We all know you have our back and will do what you can to get us back on the trail (even for those of us that might not ride your brands 
)! But, be assured we also have yours as you can see from the responses! Hang in there!!!
By the way, how's Chopper doing? Is he back bombing around the shop?

Kip,
It's neat that you remember working on that vmax, it was a troublesome bugger, the money spent at various shops along the UP getting that sled back on the trail were staggering. I never really rode it, either my wife or friends would ride it. It got the absolute worst mileage, somewhere around 7-8 mpg, I guess most the oil was being stored in the exhaust can, LOL I remember after you put the used can on, we would remove it and cook out the oil in it by throwing it in a campfire. I could of sent smoke signals with the extra smoke coming off the fire. I'm sure it wasn't doing the can any good, probably made it louder,
the vmax is long gone now but all the memories, I could write a book with all the stories I have.
It's been exactly 1 year since I logged on & generated a thread today, which reminds me....time to resurrect the I pass transponder thread... oh no, here we
go again!!

One bad apple's post isn't going to ruin the business you and your father have built up, that is for sure. Like other's stories, I too have been rescued by your excellent service.
On another note, a buddy of mine is in the motorsports business such as you are Kip - they sell motorcycles, ATV/UTV's, PWC's, generators, and sleds. He hates selling sleds as the people seem to be a bigger PIA than any other vehicle. His suggestion, is that the businesses also get to rate the customer on a 5 star scale system, and the you need to let the business what your rating as you walk into the door. Imagine if we were judged every time we made a purchase. I think most people would act differently, but then again we are going back to the golden rule, and a 1st grade level here, aren't we.
