Re: Where's JohnnyP?
Hey guys Im still around but like someone said, Im riding! LOL which means Im not making stays kinda....In the winter I have no problem staying at my shop 15 hours straight a day...8 hours doing the day job thing, and 7 hours after that making stays... In the summer the stays get put on the back burner and my main concern is riding when my work is done...
However a good friend of mine, has just joined with me...And we are opening a stunt parts company under my stunt teams name StuntersINC...He saw the demand for my stays, and that I dont really have time to make them in the summer with my day job and riding...And also that I make these totally by myself, which is alot of work for one person...He has rented a unit so we can produce large runs, not 5-10 at a time like I have been doing here at my shop...
So hopefully in the next few weeks we are going to lauch our website with online ordering...A batch of 50 is in the works right now, 20 03/04 636, 20 05/06 636, and 10 F4i....The quality will remain the same even better (because some of the manual processes are going to be done by machine now), my friend is just helping me get the things I dont have time to do done, and finding new ways to have certain processes automated.....
I will keep you guys posted, we havent posted anything about this yet but my friend is here at my office everyday working on this...Setting this up so we can produce stays year round with no waiting...Once we actually have some stays in stock, he will come on here introduce himself and explain everything....He would also like to see the product line expanded, as he really likes my aluminum subcages, and some of the other parts Ive made for me and my friends bikes...
Also we are going to be looking into offering dealer discounts on large orders, so shops who are interested in stocking these stays can order 10+ and keep them in stock over there in the US...
Thanks to everyone that has bought a stay from me, I never really planned to make as many stays as I have already. The only reason I continue to make these, is because you guys want them
