I need 6 weeks to catch up and finish the work on hand. I will complete work for people who I have been in correspondence with up to this date. I'd also like to thank everyone for their interest and opportunity to work on their parts.
Mike

This speaks a lot about your quality of work to have so many customer that you actually run a back log.

Thanks Frank. I have an engine I have to concentrate on that has been here for well over a year. I also want to start on my CBX engine which has been out of the bike for 2 years. Plus a number of heads on my benches in various stages of work.
It is difficult to express my appreciation towards the folks that trust me with their parts.....I really do work on everything like it was my own.

So...you are rebuilding engines now too? I do have a spare Z1 motor waiting on a rebuild!

+1 on all comments. We are fortunate to have Mikes experience and expertise available. I too know firsthand the dedication and commitment to quality Mike brings to the table. Fortunately I too have 2 Stage IV's and a Stage III on Calendar Girl. One of the "special" Stage IV's on Samauto, damn Sam wish you were here or coming back soon. Mike, backlog, c'mon man. A little snow slowing you down? Lol, man I feel for y'all. Good luck catching up, Bill

I'm sure you can, it likely won't have anything done to it though... Given how busy he is, probably take that long for him just to ship it back untouched.

Maybe you could take a turn on Mike's snow shoveling and free up some time for him?

grcamna2 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2015, 06:36:43 AM »

I appreciate that Mike has good quality control and is letting folks know up front that he 'won't be pushed' into rushing jobs out the door;quality work takes patience.

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #19 on:** February 21, 2015, 10:39:22 AM »

Yeh, he just loves the old stuff,.........while he'll build you an engine you got enough RC, MTC, APE, etc, he can't get enough.......just loves old sh*t! Ask ' em he'll tell you. Patriots and old parts!

Ohhhhh, that explains it. Snow! Momma and momma-in-law have him corralled inside with all the snow limiting his excursions!

Shouldn't youhave plenty of time with all those Boston snow days anyway?

My machine shop has 5 of my heads sitting there....that's a first!

Been "massaging" a set of Golden Rods for the past 2 nights. The bolt heads need trimming and tuning etc. The bolts grab way before they bottom on the cap.....you can only wonder what that does for actual torque readings. They are getting there.

Wait a minute! Mike Rieck has a set of used aluminum rods? Not OUR Mikey. No way...... GTFOH>>>

NalleyRacing · « **Reply #33 on:** March 05, 2015, 07:53:41 PM »

Haha I think there George's golden rods.. Mike play with that old racing stuff? Haha he'd be the first to promote a good set of CP rods!

bwaller · « **Reply #34 on:** March 06, 2015, 04:38:36 AM »

I think he just did! Two nights spent on those rods and they're still not ready to be trusted....at least for a certain JMR standard.

It must be spring break.

I know how much you LOVE the old stuff!

Hopefully I didn't ruin you regarding 'vintage' RC hipo parts.... You let me talk you into reinventing my old school big bore motor. I told you I'm a bad influence. Running and ducking....
