    Re: Faster

    went to the Faster pick up my bike with that its fixed right , wrong right .
    Burt said its ready outside but it will not run to the red line ,that he would had to check it out again .
    Then I asked him to show it to me and he couldnt start it ,he pull bike in store back all pissed ,10min later he tell me its fine .
    I start it ,it fired up . But I Cant KILL IT with kill switch . I said what did you do ? He tells me , he hard wired it. When I brought it in it worked.Thats my story from Faster motorcycle shop in Denver,CO.

    They rescheduled for this Saturday. I won't be able to make it because I'm going to the Mammoth game (I have season tickets) and have some friends coming with me. Get in touch with Louden, if he didn't send you the email with the new info.

    Re: Faster

    Lots of guys on this site will defend Faster. From my experience, as a shop, they are shit! The Faster part only means (how fast can they get to the track).

    Re: Faster

    Never used them. Just know that many on this board did. And I find it sad that a shop that supported the sport (with good service or bad -- let the market decide) is closing its doors. I find it interesting that this is happening right before the beginning of riding season.

    Re: Faster

    Just wanted to add my 2 cents on this that i tried multiple times to work with this shop and i love Bart as a person but i had nothing but problems. I recently spent $800+ with them to have upgrades done to my bike, long story short was not working right and i didn't want to fight with them anymore so i took it to Fay Myers and the treated me like royalty and found things that faster said they did and charged me for but was ultimately not done or worse yet done wrong and cost me more money to fix and replace. For me this is just Karma coming around. sorry to see all the support for the local racers gone but the shop in general was a D or 1 star shop on a good day.
