I. Know. Everything. That's right...Everything.

How does one get this information? I am a manufacturing engineer and I don't know.
My post refers to my views in customer service. My solution had zero to do with manufacturing engineering (I said they should give us a refund). I am very glad you are a manufacturing engineer. Trust me when I say that me NOT being a manufacturing engineer is a good thing. You don't want to be associated with myself since I am a consultant *shudder* Good luck & enjoy your break from engineering manufacturables during the holidays.

It would cost not much compared to how much they made in 2003. Which is 9,876 dollars. oh wait times 1,000,000 I always **** up those decimal points (finance here I come!). Yup thats 9,876 million dollars. so I'm going to go out on a limb and say they can take the hit and more importanly I don't care if they do.

To sum up: Kryptonite sucks. Ingersoll-Rand sucks. and waiting for Christmas to get moving also sucks. Bikeforums.net rules. and hopefully I too will have 2manybikes post-holidays. Cheers!
