Lies chassis shops/ paint shops/ engine builders/

Send it to me, and I will turn it around in 1 week. 

yeah ive been burned by the best in the omaha ne area,thats why ive learned to do everything myself as much as possible 

I have been doing this since the seventies. That is why I decided to start doing things my way , I have been building performance dragbikes for over twenty years has it really been that long ago? I was the first Canadian to quilafy at a Pro-Stock event back in 1983 at was was the only place to race P/S the NMRA. We are currently the only ones in Canada building our own cranks, developing our own heads, billet blocks,chassis, twostage oiling systems for turbos, our own turbo and EFI systems, full auto trans, sleeveing ect. Al bought a shaft from me last year. I do a lot of work for some of the P/M CMDRA guys along with a lot of streetbike dynotuning and engine building. The one thing that always cripples us in getting things done is parts availability, a lot of the so-called parts suppliers do not have complete in house abilities which is understandable you just can,t do everything and this sometimes creates a bottleneck of parts availability. sometimes you just can,t tell how much of anything will sell let alone profit margins and stuff. look at some of the top fuel teams they are now developing their own parts just to feed the need which ads up to a big expenditure. will the purses in motorcycle drag racing warrant suppliers having more stock versus racers carriying more spares? Or are there too many suppliers for a given market? Can the market grow to demand more inventory held in stock at suppliers? Its easy to bitch about it but harder and more expensive to do anything about it. I will be building more stuff to satisfy the needs of my customers but will it be worth it to develop more parts to create sales? I dunno. I am sticking my neck out this winter spending a lot of money on CNC stuff to build some parts  and secure our parts problem,and maybe generate some more buisness but our machine will not just be for dragbike parts as we already have some car guys wanting stuff built as they are having the same problems its not just the motorcycle industry having these problems.

Putting the shoe on the other foot.

I had the money but some things came up. I need it this weekend and I will pay extra when I get paid next friday. The post office must have lost it both times.(all my bills ALWAYS get here) Why do you want money up front? I know so and so will do it and I would just get them to do it but.

i can relate to that in my own business!  doing electrical/ heating/cooling/plumbing if im a day late finishing a job im an ass,but if their check bounces or i dont get paid for 6 mos its my problem ! funny how life works! hahaha
