Meetings: Key Industry folk that had thoughts about the concept.



So what do you attribute this interest to?
Maybe Renners ride at Daytona, or the amount of hype here for 2 strokes, or possibly the ecomomy of the sport?

Not that it matters, it was just interesting to me that the subject came up. It would be nice to see what is actually getting their attention.

Sooooo........did you let them in on your possible project and what were their thoughts etc. etc. Sorry to be so nosey. Smile

UFO
CDG ('cause you just KNOW I'm throwing' some Carbon & Ti at this thing!)
Coach Seiji (Because of the e-mail he sent me, yesterday, that got me back-on-track)

1st Candidate is National # 61; but, I'd consider letting that kid from Florida try it out...

Maybe we could get the "12" back in the Gym?

Are we talking about multiple bikes now? Is this an expansion, possibly multiple riders?
