You get an ez-up and some t-shirts. Seems like a great business decision 

You only get those if you pay extra and if its actually available...ask the guys who have tried to operate their franchises without access to that...

Curious if anyone knows the cost of a pro-action franchise? The $15k seems pretty steep for a name most non-locals have never heard of

Speaking from experience... dropped off a set of forks one night at a race and said just need oil and seals, come back to 800$ charge later for god only knows what.

judging by his writing and presentation skills here selling his $3,500 "technical training class" (and knowing what we know now), i would never hitch my wagon to this character as a "business leader". when it comes to poor writing, there's scatter brained mad scientist and there's hyperactive hustler. this reads like the latter.

All I can say is I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Travis and his TBT dealer Corey here in Southern Utah. Travis has always been super kind to me and has always helped out whenever I’ve needed it especially after some serious TBIs I had a few years ago. I’ve always been extremely happy with their settings as well. He definitely knows what he’s doing. I’ve tried a lot of different companies in SoCal and a couple here in Utah and Travis seems to nail it with his valving and gives me the feel I’m looking for. TF is genuinely one of the most passionate humans you’d ever meet. Super glad to have TBT around here in Utah now as well.

Their “dealer” here in southern Utah is a joke and just does drugs in his garage every night and has F***ed up multiple bikes from people that I know.

Looks like there will be another class end of the month,    Just wanted to bump this thread up in case anyone gets offered a Franchise.   Do your homework!

He did the same shit to a buddy of mine and his dad. Made me look like an asshole for facilitating the "deal"

I guess nobody remembers in the early 2000's 05? Ish. I don't know the whole details. Just recall he had a tbt shop in Monroe wa. Suddenly closed up shop and skipped town outta state. People got hosed on getting thier stuff back. 

Hopefully that worked out never heard anything more. I heard it was supposedly he owed the state taxes. And for a long while there i never saw or heard of anyone with tbt stuff.  Until like 10 ish years ago I saw something mentioned tbt in so cal.

That was back in 04 when he Tax Warrants out by the State of Washington. He has been sued multiple times as Tuning By Travis which is probably why he had to change the business name and LLC names so it's harder to track and find.
