Wow. I'm another guy who hasn't been here in a while and comes back and.... I'm floored!
I don't "know" Marvin and I would be presumptious to call him a friend. However, he's been good enough to offer advice on this forum that has helped me out more than once. Much more than once. I would consider him a friend on that basis, although again, I would not be so presumptious as to assume that the fact that I've profited from his good offices makes me his.
I do applaud anyone who sticks up for a friend, also. To paraphrase: "My friend. In his intercourse with foreign internet posters, may he always be right. But my friend, right or wrong!"
Having said which, Chris Kelley and CCW is/are flat out my favorite vendors for Ducati and any other marques they may handle from time to time. I think Steve had a bad day. Happens. Handled it poorly. Happens. Not to me of course. Oh no....!
I suggest we all move on. Nothing happening here folks. Move along.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. I hope.
