Aaron is on a very short list of people that I would (literally) give a blank check if he were doing work for me.

Now giving Aaron a blank check is something I wouldn't do.. Next thing you know I would have a 124 cu in, turbo charged, ceramic coated pistons, titanium valves and 8 speed custom designed transmission!! You just can't give these engineers too much leeway!!!

I would give a blank, signed check to Aaron. I don't know any lawyers I trust that much. I am sure there are some, I just don't know of any.

That's the point. If I had the money (which I don't) and felt like my current 9sx motor was weak for the bike (which I don't), I would ride the thing to Colorado, sit down with Aaron and tell him what my goals are for the bike, give him a blank check, and have him call me when it's done.

Not only would I trust him completely with the check, I would trust him completely to spec the work.

OK, well, there is a little lie up there. After I gave him the check, I would not wait for him to call, I would want to be there helping working on the bike where I can, staying out of the way as much as possible, and learning everything I can.

I hope to actually do this some day. Ride a clapped out used up XB9 motor to Colorado, spend a week working on it, and ride the "E ticket" home.

Working next to Aaron and just soaking in a fraction of his knowledge is worth more than the cost of any work he is charging you for.

Just for information sake, I'll cheerfully accept all blank checks. Just email me for my mailing address.

Thanks in advance

Blank checks seem a bit dangerous in todays world. Perhaps make it out to Community Alliance for Self Help or CASH for short and send it my way.

A symbiotic relationship between Mr. Wilson's Buell-centric business and BWB was evident. From a selfish standpoint, it's a loss if he no longer shares his tech knowledge with those who look for such at this website. Please fix the disturbance in the Force and return the Buell-niverse to harmonic balance.
