Good morning, evening, afternoon day.

Fires have quieted down, heading to Steamboat Springs with my Michigan sister and niece today until Monday - yay me (can we call the cheerleaders back in?!).

Lots of hiking and stand up paddle boarding on the agenda - and soaking in hot springs.

(Could only improve if I could ride a moto there.)

Enjoy your weekend doing_________.   [thumbsup]

Did you have a discussion with the Mazak tech about the first tech's abilities?   

A discussion did occur

Did you make your point? ;D

 [thumbsup]morning, . . .

evening . . .

Palo Alto fine ground expresso roast in cup . . . bacon in between two slices of oatmeal bread filled with 2 eggs, edamer cheese, muenster cheese and some provolone . .. . guess I woke up a bit hungry ..  ..

guys any takes on 'non-brand riding garments' . .. received an email through my workshop's mail, could be an e-blast, but it was directed to me and they 'gave' me some names and images of garments they make for some brands; they say they can 'brand them' with Moto Mecanica PTY's name[shop's name], they send a bunch of paperwork 'stating CE certification up to level 3, etc etc . .. .

$1000.00 gets lots of garments either: 6 textile jackets, 5 leather jackets, 5 leather pants, 4 racing suits[1 or 2 piece or touring 1 piece], 4 ensemble of jacket+pants, 14 pairs of gloves . .. and I still have room for a mark up to make profit . . . but the market here is 'branded'.

Is it OK to ask them to send lets say, one leather jacket and one riding leather pant to 'test'? Need some help here from the outside, missus says 'NO', $$$ partner in shop is out of country. Thanks ! [thumbsup]

I'd ask for some samples before diving in.

Chances are your clients will be buying gloves and textile gear, or rain gear...not leather.

I'd ask to see those items.

If this company only offers leather I don't think they're a good fit for you.

I don't see how ill ever have anything other than mazak. I'm hooked on them. Awesome controls and amazing tech support by phone for even the tiniest of issues.

This install was that one in a thousand occasion I think.

Do they do mills as well as turning centers?

Your widget sales might change over time. ;D

I gotta go to my jobber and pick colors for a Yamaha FJ tank.
