Well Longride I am glad you do not like my tone, I have never liked yours either, and yes I have been known to throw accusations around, like the time Harley was telling their costumers that as far as the cam bearing failures were concerned, they would be willing to fix it after it broke, or the time Honda told their GL1800 riders that they could bring their bikes in to have the broken frame fixed by an unknown welder with some kind of makeshift repair method, or the time Ducati, before they started using japanese regulator rectifires would take 6 months to a year to get the problems fixed for their riders, if at all, or the time Yamaha took 6 production years to redesign the most troublesome starter flaw the industry has seen on their Viragos. I could go on...
The point being, I take exception when the big guys take advantage of the little guys, based on their political or economic clout, or in your case, editorial clout.
So, what is the story with the GSXR frame?
What are you so concerned about releasing a worthy news thread, that you had to take it off the website?
Remember the first amendment?
For your information, I own 3 Suzukis right now and have own a few more in the past, I have owned Hondas, Ducatis and Yamahas also, so my view is not a partisan one.
Last but not least, my apologies to Gabe and the staff, since you were honest enough to take blame for the problem.
So what is the deal with the Gixxer!
