Fugg it, I'll throw in my $0.02.
Faster has been bagged on lately for poor service especially for regular old street customers and
obviously prioritizing their racing business. I personally don't know how deeply into racing Faster is, but from a number of comments that have been made it's obvious that racing/supporting racing/etc. is their number one priority.
As a non-racer I would never take my bike to Faster as I can see that I would definitely be second fiddle to any race emergency that came up. Nick's comment from the first post alone is totally inappropriate from a business owner. He just told a customer that received poor service "Sorry kid, but we got more important shit than you, so don't expect a quick resolution to your problem." From a business standpoint that is 100% wrong! You NEVER, EVER blatently tell your customer that their satisfaction is NOT your #1 priority.
Here's what the folks at Faster have to realize. I have never been a customer of theirs (not for any particular reason, just no need yet), but because of this wonderful thing called the internet I have now formed an opinion (see above) and made a decision about giving them my money. If I ever get into racing, I might sing a different tune.
Don't get me wrong, I realize Faster has always been very supportive of the CSC and the MRA and I think that is awesome and they should be commended for it.
However, they are still responsible for basic business etiquette. All that support shit goes out the window when you ask for a $1000 check from me and don't take care of me as a customer.
