Title: Howie friggin' ROCKS!!!!
Post by: Razzo Bolognese on June 14, 2009, 11:31:24 AM
Hi all!  Welcome me back!  After a 20 month hiatus (thanks to my bad back) I finally rode my baby again!  Last time I spoke to Howie was to ask him how best to winterize.  He rocked it.  My baby was safe & sound as a direct result of his sage advice.  Last week I was ready to start her for the first time when...no crank.  Lights, yes.  Little whirring noise and sweeping gauge hands, yes.  Just no crank.  So I desperately call Howie after having not spoken to the man in nearly two years.  Friendly and helpful as always, he informs me of the four-year shelf-life of a battery and how to safely jump-start a Monster.  Thanks to him I was able to barnstorm all over the back roads of Litchfield County, at least until my weak-ass clutch hand got tired.


THANK YOU HOWIE!  YOU FRIGGIN ROCK!!!!

Hey Shawn, welcome back in to the fold. I remember when you were puttin' your baby to sleep for a while at that time. Back in the DML days. Great to hear your health is well.

Of course Howie rocks. And he makes a mean squirrel shish kabob too!

Sorry about that, Dan.  ;D  I guess my brain was still helping Shawn find a coach in the other thread.

Me and names (nothing personal)...
I've known EvilSteve for years; rode with him, hung with him, met his wife and even been over his house for BBQ. Yet I'll still slip with a "Steve" instead of his real name (withheld to preserve the innocent).   ;)

I don't really worry about people calling me Steve anymore, some people call me Evil. In reality, I'm neither. ;)




... Howie still rules.
