Ok.
So what are the chances of the 2 Quenzlers not knowing eachother.
Then finding eachother.
Then being related.

Then both owning RD's.
Then both working on them.

They should have ran to the store & bought Lottery tickets

Any chance someone has chucks address?

I can stop in & see how he is doing.
If the consensus of the forum thinks its a good idea.

Not sure. But might just need to let him be for a bit.  :twocents:

Believe me you'd be hard pressed to find a more enthusiastic tuner. If he wants to hang he'll be around.

Did anyone reach out to chuck
I've got a bunch of parts with him
I'm trying to get in touch by mail but no reply

kar1zma

so i spoke to him

his landlord forced him to close down
and now he is working at an engine shop

he says he might not be able to open up again and do any more RDs
its very sad.

i wish him well

I knew about the machine shop gig for an interim.steady job..., wasn't sure if he would be able to get the bike thing going again. that does suck.


Milan

tell him to find a place.
I will do permit drawings & inspections to get it up & going.

I would also pay him to do a mobile trip to me in Palmetto for a tune.

Ouch! :'(  Another part of the community and a huge resource gone. As the years go by they're diasappearing.

I wish him the best and hope there's some way that maybe something works out for him in the 2T realm. He had all that equipment, not to mention his many years of expertise and knowledge.

He still has all the equipment stored up
But his finances don't support him opening up again
It seems the land prices have skyrocketed in his Area and it
Seems unlikely to find an affordable place

I have parts with him . Now I don't know who will finish
My  engine .
