All I got to say is that there certainly a few "ball polishers" around here... On this site there are people saying that Velocity left little to be desired in terms of quality and craftsmanship of their kit, and that service has been quite the rollercoaster. Then over on the other site, the some of the same people thank Barry for having awesome customer service?

what I was trying to convey?

THERE HAS BEEN NO COMPETITON FROM ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER SINCE 2002!!  Velocity has owned 99% of the turbo bikes competing for the last 4 years. So of course they're going to be #1.  :duh:

In the first season running an NLR kit Jason Miller set the new 60" record, and is still currently the only bike that has run in the 7.60's! So what if he lost the best of 5 to Mikey Slowe on Pinks, or if Mikey still won the overall series. So does that mean Velocity is still the best kit on the planet? Or maybe Mikey just had a better season overall, and it helps that he has mulitple years of riding that bike?
[/quote  And Jason had the same bike as Mike the year before and couldn't come close. Mike has been 7.70 on that (out of the box)VR stg3 piggyback system with a MSBC1 controller. Jasons bike has all the goods and plenty of money spent ,so your comparison is no good. Now the Prosteet VR bikes have all the goods so we will see who comes out on top in that class. The kits only compare in looks and quality, I say NLR wins that category. All turbo kits are turbo,header,wastegate,up-pipe,plenum,and fuel system. How they are put together is what counts. We put a kit together with a Motec and the bike had no chassis work 60" , 8.00 with average rider.

Hahahaaaa........thats what it looks like.

Damn, I guess Im out of the circle of trust.


What did I do?

The only thing I said was that Velocity didnt build Robs bike, Kevin did and that putting a stock bore head gasket in a 2mm over motor was a serious blunder. Shit, if I had done it, I would rag myself out for it.

Damn.

       I think several people have tried with no luck to access the TKP site. I tell you I can't understand how this process works. Now if you were a builder of turbo's and one of your customers bike went up in smoke would you honor the rebuild of that motor or would you have the buyer pay for the work that was done? I'm just trying to understand how this process works. I was told that if you upgrade the motor to a high performacne the builder doesn't give you any type of warenty at all, so what this is telling me that no matter who kit I buy I can't get a warrenty on the building of that bike. Man  tell you if this is true then it doesn't make any sense to purchase a high dollar bike if you can't get any warrently on the bike and anytime the system fails you're out of money. I tell you I want another turbo, but just because I got screwed by TKP I really have a fear of getting another raw deal on a turbo bike. I've look at everyone with the bikes and it seems as if having great success with the TMH, NLR, MCepress, Johnny Exoticycle and a few with the Velociety/TKP motor build that's very happey with the product. I just want someone to tell me how this process works, so I can decide what I want to do. My wife wants a Trike GoldWing and at this point in a few weeks it looks as if I'm going to have a 1800 GoldWing. I really want another turbo, but if this is the way this process works then to hell with the turbo's abd I'm just get JR to build me a 1397 and have fun with it from time to time. But it really look as if my old rump will be getting a GodlWing.

FTTB,Nobody in the Industry that I know of will give you a 100% warranty on nothing race related..The fact that you use this for racing and hard abuse you can't realistically expect anyone too....the concensus is that if a really standup mechanic builds you a motor and he puts it together himself he will stand behind the build somewhat...There are so many varibles to what can happen with a motor once it leaves the mechanic it's hard to stand behind it....I see it and hear it myself,people take and let any and everyone tinkle with their stuff and most don't know what their doing and cause a malfunction and you can't expect the builder to stand behind that do you?How about this one,a guy builds you a motor and sets it up to the max cause that's what you want and then you get beat by someone so you say fuck it i know i can spray or boost up another 25 hp and beat this fucker,next pass you roast the motor,who is responsible????A mechanic can ususally look and see if it was a mechanically failure or operator failure (pushed past the setup he put in it)but racing is just that racing,nothing is guaranteed and nothing is for free....Buy ya a goldwing and enjoy yourself and your wife.....
