I wasnt saying brent is the faceless entity..thats the problem. Because you have "broke bread" with him you see the whole thing in a different light. You dont see him as just another business man, you see him as a friend...thats why youre okay with the whole arrangement. You dont wanna see the "big businesses" put your "friend" under. Neither do I...I just wanna see more manufacturers, better selection, and more competitive prices. Whether thats possible is another debate.
The problem is that youre thinking on a personal level. Theres nothing personal being discussed here. Soren said he liked the fact that people are taking customizations in their own hands and it strays away from the cookie cutter type. The fact is that our own bikes look the same cause we all shop from the same place. Im obviously not alone here, because the post was originally about contacting another company to support triumphs.
