I’m in total agreement with Brad on this. Also, I’ll reiterate my thoughts on Triumph’s dilemma and the easiest way to “do it right”… Build COMPLETE ENGINES with all the “New & Improved” parts and crate them… and ship them to Triumph dealers for installation. Leaking Castings/Bad Castings Transmission Failures Clutch Failures Valve Rocker Failures Tearing engines down to repair/replace all these issues at the dealer level is EXPENSIVE &…let’s be clear… This just doesn’t look good. Period. All the while, a complete engine from the factory costs less than most of us in here would believe and it sends...

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.

Since the Colorado location was specifically mentioned in this thread, I feel it is fair to give my side of the story. I can only speak about my own documented experience. I owned and operated an established suspension business before entering the TBT franchise relationship. I paid the franchise fee and completed training because I believed I was purchasing an organized franchise system with manuals, documented procedures, technical support, clear parts requirements, marketing assistance, and value from the TBT name. That was not what I experienced. I repeatedly had to chase basic information, follow up on unanswered emails and messages...

The saga continues for Travis...... interesting character. Seems the TBT Racing franchises are not going so good, my friend xxxxxx xxxxx signed up, paid $15K to buy a district and then $600 a month. Today he sent me this. My $600 a month I pay him goes to him providing unlimited valving setups and marketing/exposure on all TBT socials. In 13 months there have been 4 total posts for me, 4 more with a Baja 1000 bike I did but no mention of me. He still refuses to give me a copy of my signed contract, threatened to put a...

That it takes one hour and $100 in parts to charge you $1500 for a revalve.

Can you guys help me understand why a franchise model was used for a suspension shop? Never understood this. And why is a suspension company spending a bunch of money for a Vegas boondoggle with motivational speakers? What the fuck am I missing about the suspension tuning business?

This place looks great! Legit hybrid track - check Amazing facilities to bring families and sponsors to - check Under the lights - check Fans able to get near track - check Great racing - TBD Could they replicate the best elements at Barber Motorsports Park?

That's exactly what you would say if you really were GrapeApe. Since we know you're DonM and we know DonM is Brian Deegan, that would also make me Brian Deegan so I can't be Cooksey. All confirmed with AI.

Almost to 20 Let’s go!

If your line of work legally permitted running vehicles into the side of other people as standard practice, then a simple fist punch might be overlooked.

Yeah, that's what makes great racing- separation.

Yeah- Deegan's mom put Coop in a headlock so Haiden could punch him....You guys would believe anything (want to believe)..

This reads to me like an admission that he got punched.

Everyone is missing the most important question. How did Stewie get popcorn that fast?

A lot of you are looking at the pass in a vacuum and not in the context. The pass on its own isn't the dirtiest pass, but Deegan had just gone down and Coop went by him. Then, with Coop not really putting up a strong fight for position, Deegan just puts him on the ground for no reason when he could have passed him easily. Coop conceded that Deegan was faster. So clearly Deegan was just pissed off at himself for crashing in the sand, for being slower than Prado, and decided he was going to take it out...

Speed doesn't need to be matched. Bogle was a lap down...

I know I’m gonna get a lottttt of hate for this, I think it wasn’t a terrible move. I watched it back and surprised coop didn’t expect that. Yes I know they’re teammates, but I think most riders would have made that move right there vs getting stuck behind coop. I also 100% get why coop is seeing red too. So don’t get me totally wrong here lol.
