Arrrgh!

Dats why you need AJ or Jeff working for ya. I'd like to support my local guy as well, but;
a) Banzai Motorsports, Libertyville, IL. ARE YOU KIDDING? A total joke. New owner (3 in 3 years) somehow "lost" my racer's discount. Buh-Bye.

b) Great Escape Kawi/Suzi . Bob is a good guy, does pretty good deals on bikes (bought two from him) Tom (the shop mechanic) is great but... charges MSRP for parts, no exceptions! Buh-Bye.

c) Other local shops. "Jerry The Greek" may have invaded them (local joke), no way am I dealing with him.. the ultimate mc shop whore. I do feel good that I hosed HIM on the 99 KX (which later became the infamous "Mamba", won in a DRN raffle by BSWIFT... for $25!!!!)

So here I am with no local shop to support. No problem. AJ (Service Honda) is a great friend of mine (And one of my MX Heros) and (he's a good friend to a LOT of people, funny how that works) and takes great care of me. Called me customer of the month once last year, lol. Funny thing is, he takes great care of everyone, rather you know him or not. And I was feeling special. Service has supported DirtWeek and DRN from the very beginning... reason enough to give them a shot at your business.

Jeff (MX South) is another friend, that always comes thru for his customers. He absolutly ROCKED DirtWeek last year.. nearly $5,000 worth of stuff to give away! Please! Support this guy, he values DRN members and puts his support $ where his mouth is.

So yea, I'd like to support the local guy, but there are those out there that keep this place going. That alone justifies giving some back. They do.
