Thanks to the support I recieve here from everyone, i will be going full time with my powder coating business shortly. The last year and a half has been trying, with building a shop set up to do nothing but custom pc and work on quads/bikes, but it is finally about to pay off!

I just felt like extending a big THANK YOU to a few people publicly.


Harlen, thanks for everything you have allowed me to do, the freedom you have given me and for being one of the 5 people in this world i can trust. My gratitude extends past what i can express here. You da man.

KH426, my little brother. Thank you for all the help you have given me, from all the mechanical work, the help building the shop, the help getting set up and most of all, for being the one guy I can go to and never get told no. i couldnt ask for a better brother or friend, thanks.


This site....

guys, you helped save a man with no direction. For years I knew the day would come when my career would end, and I would be forced to start over. I had no idea what where or how, but with the support from members I will be heading down a road that i hope will carry me to the end. Everyone claims this or that site is the best, let them, the best ATV site in the world is right here and you all are proof of that. Thank you for everything, good and bad.....and as long as I can, i will always be here to help you in anyway I can.

C&D Racing, Burgard Cycle, Derisi racing,Elka and Lonestar.....you guys not only help support this site, but have backed me 110% in every way one could. Myself and the family offer you our deepest gratitude.



Sorry for being sincere....sometimes you just have to stop and say what has to be said. I dont know what the future holds, but as we continue down that road, Ill be happier knowing who is taking the trip with me....You guys rock!

Jason, you are exactly the type im talking about. I post in a thread that i needed help, and 45 minutes later you show up. i couldnt ask for people like that to surround myself with, and I thank you.

Heck ya man, this is the best atv site ever. I'll be a member here until I can't own a quad anymore, but then i'll still be drooling over the ones your making.

Congrats on the new buissnes. I wish you the best of luck with it, I know you'll end up turning it into even more of a succsess than it is now. Don't forget that there there are so many people on this site that you have helped, me included. I'll never forget the great hospitality I got when I went to Rausch over the summer, by both you and your brother who put in about an hour wrenching on my 250r.

Congrats. The family and I wish you all the success one man can handle. :devil:

I'm sure that with all the folks on here you'll have plenty of business. I'll do my best to send some work your way. My wife is even planning to refer one of her co-workers to you about having some work done on his street bike.

When I get the wheels mounted on my wifes car we'll be showing them off to everyone and I'll be sure to let them know who PC'ed them.
