The MAC company called me today, they apologized for the problem and are...... as I type, sending me a new system from the factory

That's what we want from a manufacturing company

I knew there was a reason that I always liked MAC. Their prices are fair, quality OK, they make stuff for models others consider too low of a volume, and now we know that their customer support is very good!

That is sweet mate, an excellent big bore Suzy engine in a frame that can handle the power! Cheers, Terry.

Dude, that race track you call an island isn't big enough for that monster with YOU on it. Hold on tight, pucker up yer ass and be careful.

Oh yeah, congratulations!

What are you talking about Terry?!? Flexible frame is half the fun when riding a big bore-GSX

What a tease, I thought we were going to hear it running

DavePhipps · « **Reply #198 on:** March 08, 2011, 08:09:44 PM »

This makes me miss my old monoshock gs550es sooooooo much! It was my first sporty bike.
It also pulled like a bat out of hell right out of the dealer parking lot.

Wow, nice bike. I wanted to see the 20 ft burn out. Well done.
