It truely saddens me to hear about this. I bought a crank from him back in the day when he was doing the group buy on K-1 cranks. He even held the crank for me at the same price when I got hammered in my divorce. I don't know how many times I have talked to him over the years but I can say I've never met anyone that is as willing to stop and talk to you even if it has nothing to do with buisness. Dan you will be greatly missed here brother! Now get them angels some serious horsepower!
