I'm still here...

As many have noted other the past several months, my presence here on the forum has been about non-existent...

Well, it's not because I don't want to be here, but for the last 80 days or so, I've been working way too many hours. In the continuing growth of the Raduechel business empire, I was able to purchase our family bakery that was sold when I was in high school.

Poor Robert has been rowing his RPM boat upstream with one paddle this year due to the commitment I have to the bakery and getting it to a place where we can be content.

I, we are still committed fully to the Yamaha FJ motorcycle and once things settle in, I should be a little more present.

Thanks for continued support and for those who have sent private messages and emailed wondering if I am okay; that means a lot to me.

Congrats on getting the bakery!  Between building up RPM, refurbing the house, and bringing the bakery back into the family - you are really building a lasting testament to your family - past, present, and future!

I am glad to her this as I am sure others are. Your (yours and Robert's) help have been invaluable to me and my FJ. Without it and this form I am sure my FJ would not be were it is today, a great fun reliable bike to ride. Next time I come to visit my Mom, I will have to stop by your bakery.

Fwiw...and doing a great job at the helm!..always a big help to us all...you have taught him well ...i'm sure you are proud of him.  
89 FJ1200 saphire.blu owned 8-9 years.  By far the most satisfying of them all. Constant tinkering got me the best bike you could ever want.

:good2: We are most fortunate to have a vendor dedicated to our FJ motorcycles.
Robert's advice is a phone call away. When you order from Robert, you get the right part, quickly.

When you order from RPM *and pay* you know that the part is in stock....and not on back order.
I'm not saying that RPM does not have parts on back order, I'm saying that RPM won't take your money until they have the part in stock, ready to ship.
I bought some stuff from RevZilla, they charged my credit card, then sent me an email several weeks later saying, "Oh by the way....Your shipment is delayed, Sorry, but your parts are on back order. When we know more we will notify you..."
If they would have let me know up front that they did not have the part, I would have ordered elsewhere.

That shit never happens with RPM.


Yes, we are most fortunate...
