Yup, I AM a dick for telling the truth. I have never said he could not tune, I have stated he could not tune with TTS using all that TTS has to offer.
And Bucknut Greg? Why do YOU jump in with all these these guys and get on a 'bandwagon?' DO you KNOW me? DO you KNOW Jim? I would say NOT. But... I, me, am the bad guy here?
Well, I DO know Jim very well, actually! He is a really good tuner, too. I learned a whole lot from Jim, we were friends until he could no longer stand that I liked Doc and Steve Cole, and that THEY were teaching me different.... to use the tools within TTS for a decent tune. I felt like I had visited 6th grade all over again. It was downright WEIRD.
SO, the OP was all about a TTS technician, I stated facts. I offer a good TTS technician, (Robin) and now I am a jerk? Wurk Jerk? I guess, being trained by the help of Doc and Steve, shown the ropes by Lonewolf and Hrdtail78 counts for NOTHING?
Maybe if some wouldn't have worded the PM, that you wish to pick my brain about tuning, of which I am NOT doing right now, due to my wife's chemo and radiation, made me decide YOU Bucknut was NOT worth my time presently. I WILL answer questions but nothing open ended right now, ya dig? Who, exactly, Bucknut would YOU wish for a tuner? For your TTS? Someone that does NOT use the tools? Or someone that does? Doesn't Steve Cole's response make you go... hmmmmmm......? He is, after all, the manufacturer of the tuning product in question. If he ALSO says Jim is a good tuner, but not for TTS, does THAT not make you wonder?
Yup, ride those CVOs. That's a good response. You HAVE a nice bike and I do not. And.... I AM jealous, as MY bike is a totalled 2010 Ultra. Not ONE good tin on it, all scratches. Looks like ass. That should make one feel better, right? You have more disposable income than I do. Cool, actually. But... does THAT make YOU know all the ins and outs of using a TTS?
I placed MY money into a dyno and not fixing that POS Ultra, I installed a a 120r in it, and I feel that IS good enough for me.. Actually, Jim and I were online when I was bidding on that very bike!
I bought the dyno to HELP members and not make money. I bought the dyno to learn the truth of things and not tell lies about products. And... even Steve's product, if there is something wrong, I will shout it out. I know Steve will fix things if I do, just like Jim can shout out on a PV and that may get changed.
You, Black DIamond like your tune, and most likely it is a very good one. (Where did I say that it would be a poor one?), but I would also surmise the TTS tools were not used. THAT is all I was saying. The OP asked for a Midwest 'Doc', and Jim is NOT that!!!! a Midwest Doc. Doc will NOT answer a phone call from Jim, so I figured that HE is not what the OP asked for. I wanted to give the OP the BEST answer I could. Wouldn't the rest of you want to have that? The best answer to YOUR question?
If someone asked for a tuner good on a PV? Or an open loop tune on an older bike? Jim would have been one of my top picks , and... I HAVE sent folks his way, even if Jim dislikes me.
