I acknowledge that Ralph has the luxury of forgetting more about scooters than I have ever learnt, but this thread is simply a blatant advert and nothing else. If I thought that Ralph would be a regular contributor to this forum, then I would forgive his lack of an introduction, but if we ever see another post from him, I will be surprised.

I know of shops, tuners and dealers who avoid forums for very good reasons (and I respect this), but to use our forum solely for your own promotion is not playing the game. This forum works because people share their knowledge (pun not intended) and I remain interested and grateful because of the way that many clever and intelligent people happily share what they have learnt with those that need all the help they can get (me!).

Come on Ralph, contribute or find other ways to promote your excellent services.

martin,
i doubt if ralph will respond to this,'alcoholics' post is telling you what ralphs work is all about,if all the owners of a ralph tweeked barrels added their comments the forum would never end and would be blocked,i also would put my wages(although not a lot) that there would not be any posts that said ralphs tunes are not what ralph had stated and that only praise for this tuners experience which is endless!
i have known ralph for over 40 years and he has not changed in the way he does anything,he was a perfectionist then and still is now down to the very last detail.
when he see's this you might get a comment i doubt it though,his phone is red hot i cant get through to him to pay him!
regards
joe

i thought 7 months wasnt bad going by some dealers standards, all dealers take a year to do an engine as a minimum.....you know that.
