I have know Stevo for quite a few years, played music, ridden thousands of miles with him and have never seen him act out of character like this. Chris must have been a real asshole for Stevo to get this irrate!!
BTW, Stevo has retired from a very successful career working for the Veterens Administration in the field of Blind Rehabilitation. I'm sure if we could poll all of people who have had their life changed because of Stevo and the programs that he helped to design we would have many grateful people singing his praises!! He has done much more for mankind than selling parts for big boy toys!! I'm outta' this thread!!

Marvin I am far from a disciple of Chris, in fact don't have much interest in Ducati at this point. I have a couple of good horror stories about service at Ducati shops and an engine builder myself. Personally I find the whole Ducati elitist attitude repulsive. Never got that from Chris, not saying he is perfect by any means, and my dealings with him are years ago.
As far as Stevo goes, everyone has a resume. Some more impressive than others. You might be surprised who is who on here and what they have done and still do, or you might not. If not, and you think the only worthy folks are the ones you know in your circle you have missed one of life's important lessons. Stevo's "I am important in the Ducati world" outlook and point of view about himself plays into what is worst about some Ducati shops and owners. Instead of getting into a pissing match on the inter-webs over something silly, perhaps a more humble attitude is in order. After all it was Stevo's fairly simple question about basic motorcycle electrical wiring that precipitated this whole thing. That he got offended when someone who does not know him tried to quickly asses his level of ability over the phone by asking a basic question says more about Stevo than about anyone else.
