I was born in Aldershot and now live in Newmarket, so I guess I'm a soft southern poofter
I have always found Maz to be very genuine and up front and honest in what he thinks is right and wrong. someone you can rely on even though you may not like what you hear on occasion.
His knowledge of Buell is extensive and to have someone as dedicated as him to help so many owners and interested parties of these fine machines is a gift to be cherished.
I wouldn't ever accuse him to be in it for profit because he could (and should) be charging a lot more for the spares and his work, but he doesn't because, he can, and because he genuinely wants to help keep Buells and the people, customers/friends, on the road. He does this though choice and must see it as a vocation (my assumption) and I can understand why he can, at times, appear a little short of time and patience with some people. I know we can all get that way ourselves.
I speak as I find, and at the times I have met him, or talked by phone or by PM, he has been nothing but straight with me (don't read anything extra into that one
), and a jolly nice northern guy.
We can't please all of the people all of the time, but the main thing is that we try and do it in a way that is fair to all.
There, just my thoughts after reading this thread.
