I am left with two thoughts:
1) Matt Capri was a shyster, and
2) RB likes to bitch.

After reading their diatribe I was left wondering why they had so many dealings with this guy. If I have a business deal with someone and they are unscrupulous, I won't be dealing with them again. The "Eat shit and die" story should have been much shorter!

I am shocked to find that I might not be the only one who found Matt Capri to be unpleasant in his dealings.

How can one live with the reputation like that? He can't really go anywhere in the MC world and hold his head up.

When I knew him, he had a beautiful wife and 5 year old girl.

That thought went through my mind too Chuey. There would seem to be something wrong with the story as told. Nobody I can imagine would keep coming back. Could the narrative have included other people's stories about Matt Capri? Maybe there's as whole support group for people who have been screwed by him.

Once you see the price tag on the new RB Racing exhaust ...
you may no longer be interested.

No doubt. From the borderline hyperbole surrounding it I figured it would be, uh, expensive.

Despite its attractiveness it's not the exhaust system for me. It would clash with the chicken strips on my tires.

Agreed.
RB Racing was doing business with Luftmeister for at least 13 years !
Something had to be working to the advantage of both parties, eh ?
I am reminded of the old adage:
"There are two sides to every story ... and then there is the truth."

I was a captive buyer from Matt as he was the salesman for Butler and Smith. We dealers had no choice. I had a friend on the "inside" of B&S so I would get the dirty details of Matt's dealings. He wasn't respected, or trusted, by the employees that worked around him.

We were able to make a good living without buying from Luftmeister.

Yeah, no matter how much of a crook Capri may well have been, it's still hard to decide if he could have been as an extreme a crook as they are extreme whiners.

Reserve not met.

So that was a car shock, right? Is there any specific information on why riders liked the twin shock bike better? Was the twin shock based on the same frame?

So what is with this airhead setup? Is it standard?
