I don't work for GP Suspension only Ben does. It hasn't been sold yet, but it is the process. If the sale goes through, business for me will be the same in the short term. If the sale does not go through, then business as usual. I hope it doesn't sell, just my opinion. What does Ben think?

Any reason I should worry? I've got 2 $500.00 projects competing for funds toward the end of the month - EDR PCIII/Dyno and you, but I'd hate to lose the chance for my forks to be done.

No, Chris, if your having barry do work, DO IT! gonna be awesome improvement. I on one hand hope the sale of it goes thru, i mean i think DLPDLPDLP and RIBEYERIBEYERIBEYE need ANOTHER business adventure together....i mean they are only starting/trying to run what? 6 other ventures right now? Man, i wish i had their time and endless money.
Plus i could get ben back at the shop too :)
In all honesty i hope things stay how they are, Dave has been a great friend and an amazing suspension guy and has built from his garage (i remember having watch him do burtness's forks in his garage!) to what he has now. Would be bad biz decision if you ask me, but then again....GREEN TALKS.

No need to worry about the senario, cuz that's all it is really at the moment. Nothing has happened and won't for a little while. If it does happen I will still get the same parts as I am now, just different owner(s). Dave will be staying on with the company if it is sold. This could all be DLP and nothing becomes of it. In that case it is business as usual! I won't be going anywhere so you can choose me over Big E anyday!! What is more power if your bike handles like a stock bike?? Suspension first, then hp.

Why's he selling?
Dave wants to spend more time developing parts, less time on the phone with customers and day to day operations of the business. The sale would put $ in his pocket and a ton of time to do what he does best, make cool suspension parts! That is the main reason.
