Geez, Louise! With all this back and forth spirited palaver, you'd think someone here had either thrown a compliment at the French (spit) or insulted Harley-Davidson (sputter cough) at a Hell's Angel meeting.
To be fair, I can see both sides of this. The web is a wonderful place, but unsubstantiated derogatory second hand information posted can possibly hurt somebody's business who may not deserve the dunning. On the other hand, providing information on this board that might help us make informed decisions or at least investigate before we buy is one of the reasons so many of us read the input here from others. We just have to be careful what we say is as accurate as we know it to be before we post it. Pat clearly (in my view) said the information he posted was not firsthand, but I now would certainly look further into things before I let these folks touch my bike.
