Guys,

I just saw thought I would let you all in on everything that was goin on in my life.

as of October 25 I am no longer running my shop Ryders Connection. I have handed over the management to another company. I am still the owner of the shop but have had to bow out of the day to day running of the place. The last year at the shop has been very hard for me. the down turn of the economy had forced me to close my other two biz that I had and then force me to step out of my beloved bike shop. On top of that, most of you know, my wife has been fighting cancer for the last year or so and in the last few months it has gotten harder. We are doing ok, but it has been very very hard.

I have been forced to go to work for someone else again and Im not a fan of not being self employeed. I have become the service manager for a kawasaki shop close to my home. Ryders Connection is still in biz and still giving the .org plenty of help where ever it can. It was one of my requirements when I ended my stay at the shop.

I hope to return and take the shop back over in a year or so. I hope sooner than later, but you know how it is. I have to make money and I just wasnt doing that at the shop, I was paying everyone else and not myself. So I did what I had to do and now I work for the enemy. KAWASAKI!!!

With being at the new job I have little free time to check the site as much as I would like but I do check it every once in a while.

Feel free to shot me a pm or call my cell if you have the number. If you dont have the number just let me know and Ill get it to you.


I have to say, I love you guys and I love the site, I hate having to give up the shop but Ill still be here for what ever you need. Just let me know.


Thanks guys and girls,

Josh

Josh,
Good luck with everything that is going on. You did a great job answering all of my questions when I was buying my Exhaust, and you were quick to help with any problems I had. I hope everything works out for you.
