What It's Like

OTB · 07-13-2010, 02:06 PM

Well, this is my third week at MRP Motorsports; thought I'd give a little account of what it is like:

My head is spinning. I thought I knew bikes, but the owner, Kenny is at a whole new level....like in the stratosphere.

I learn more each day than I have in years. He can look at a track bike or racebike's tires and tell in an instant whether the bike is set up properly for sag, ride height, compression and or rebound, tire pressures....and for what track.......

His brain is like a vast storage unit for tracks, bikes and suspension settings.....

He's a magician on a dyno...and can troubleshoot stuff OVER THE PHONE to racers all over the country; AND HE'S RIGHT!

Guy has a brain that catalogs everything for instant retrieval.......scary....and impressive.....

Did I tell you he's a master machinist, too.........

Kinda sets a very high standard for everybody else..........

Hey otb, what's the elevation at the shop? If he's that good I may have to truck down next time I need a tune

People like that are rare - I wish I could absorb even a fraction of knowledge like that.
