March 14th, 2013 — update. Hiccup with the planned leased facility in Phoenix and I can’t wait 45+ more days to get a move-in date. Thus hopping to Phoenix now to walk through a couple of alternative shops identified in the last 24hrs that I can move into asap! Pictures hopefully late next week of the new facility once I have found something that will work for us today and some new areas we are moving into upcoming with new technologies and equipment. Essentially shop space will be 4X current location as it is needed!
Once I have a move-in date for Phoenix, two big moving vehicles w/trailers will move the last of the heavy shop equipment, tooling, parts, supplies, etc and make a customer dropoff in Bakersfield along the way. (pictures upcoming thereof of my favorite M1100 exhaust built)
As mentioned before, no new orders until the shop in Arizona is ready to build systems. There is no “order queue” or advanced orders taken at this time for exhausts — sorry but it isn’t manageable to be honest. I am still doing a planned 30-day promotional special for exhaust orders taken then which is very rare for myself and will be worthwhile to take advantage of! I’m putting together a revised ordering webpage with all the options, pricing, pictures, etc of the various exhausts we build and custom built to make it easier to order. Once that is posted — time to build again! (note: It won’t cover all the options immediately ala titanium, inconel or carbonfiber bitsa but those will happen upcoming.)
I will also have videos upcoming of exhaust system installations and more. I will have a reliable resource to do for me upcoming and who is good at walking through tutorials. I know a vast majority of you do not have a local Ducati dealer and to be honest, my systems are pretty easy to install once the factory system is removed.
And yes, for those of you in Arizona — I will get the bbq out on a regular basis for occasional Saturday “open shops”. (note: if anyone knows the status of the Phoenix Ducati club, let me know where/when the meetings are upcoming!)
Thanks for your patience everyone — hopefully this is the last move for many years!
