I worked for him when he was on Mt Diablo back in the mid 80's. Man was he an A'Hole!!! Too funny. It's been a while since I thought about that guy.

Ooops, I hope you're not still friends with him.

I also worked for the Brandts when they had the shop in Concord.

what a small world.............

I thought I remembered the name from Dick's shop. I think you worked with Neil when he worked for Dick? I just saw Steve Brandt a couple of weeks ago, man has he changed. Ralph used to crack me up when he, his mom and dad would all start yelling at each other in front of customers. What a f'n circus that was.

I ran 250GP bikes for years so I know most of those guys.


Now we both have Fountains?!?! Must be that Walnut Creek water!

sorry, didn't answer your question....

I worked the parts counter, both shops and Berkeley Yamaha. Among others over the years. It's been about 20 years. ****! I'm getting old.....

Too funny, he pulled the same BS on me and everyone else. I stuffed a brand new Eddie Lawson Replica one day, that's why I quite. He tried to make me pay for it! I was only 18!!! Crazy mother f'r.

I ran with Oliver, Chung, Bachelor, Buzzby and all those guys in the 80's. I rode for Rick Shell, then Mert Lawill then Kenny and Cal Curuthers.

Neil and I have known each other since kindergarten. I don't think he talks to anyone anymore other that his friend Adolph Coors.

we live basically accross from the launch ramp in disco bay,,

Nice!!! Well you are CLEARLY not working in the bike industry anymore! I know that house. We normally drop in at Orwood. I hate all the slow water comming out of Disco Bay. We'll hook up, I hope to be back in the wwater soon.

Did you sell your old boat? Do you know if Hockter sold his? He was talking about a Tallon but I think he needed the cash out of his Fountain first.

Whos MTI is that on the end, I like!

I'll PM you with my 411
