    He's not the only one, that is mere repetition from the master. My favorite was offering to reprogram an RF ignition module (he's a software engineer too of course & embedded code in OTPs can be made to succumb). I had to leave the room laughing, missing the opportunity to ask if my Rectifier regulator could be reprogrammed.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    He was actually. He was in charge of designing and setting up the computer system for Kiwibank when it first started up. That was the job that made him move to Wellington.

    A computer system & embedded sw are as far different as a Civil Engineer & a Veterinarian nurse.

    Rectum fascination. Animal interference. This thread really has taken a turn for the perverted. Sickos.

    Please note that for many reasons including an element of the romantic stories posted on this thread the said personality is NOT accredited to service or sell our Ohlins product. No formal training ever took place and because there is no line of communication of constant and ongoing updates Ohlins users who choose to use this personality will ultimately disadvantage themselves. If anyone wishes to discuss this with me one on one at anytime please feel free to do so, independent of this (often ) kangaroo court.
    With respect to the Hyperpro here is a straight technical answer; yes they are nicely made but the stock compression damping and piston design is less than stellar in a road race application, as is the progressive spring. It may indeed work better than the oem unit but it could be made to work a lot better again. Like Shaun says, who races with them worldwide? Certainly Ohlins, Penske, WP and Race Tech would be choices that on a technical level would be a preferable choice ( notwithstanding the cost reasons for your choice ) The NZ distributor for Hyperpro is based in Auckland and he is looking at pulling out of it due to poor sales and other issues.
    I have just returned earlier today from an Ohlins distributor confrence in Sweden and theres lots of cool stuff coming ( information release is currently embargoed on some of the products ) There will be some very pleasant surprises on pricing. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE OHLINS DISTRIBUTOR IN NZ, CKT.
    We have always tried to do the right thing by having a retail and dealer pricing structure but internet places a lot of pressure upon that. If it appears you can get a lower price ( and an honest lower price ) on shocks, springs, oil etc please talk to us about it first.
    We also dont take parasitical activity lightly and its very often what these guys cannot provide that is not so honestly stated. Ohlins is a very strong company and has some very clever engineers, any one man band that thinks they can do it more cleverly is deluding himself and his customers.

    Haha Dave, yes you are not the only one.... He turned up at an airshow that I had helped organise and I was wondering when he was going to tell me or one of the other pilots how to fly a proper display or something!

    Going back years ago, he was telling anyone who would listen about his chopper exploits - apparently he may have been a gung ho blackhawk pilot once!

    Sort of the 'Top Gun' of telling BS

    Don't forget about his vast experience in agricultural aircraft. He must have gone under another identity... as none of us have heard of him
