Chris,
Jon is member #90 (thanks KJ for pointing it out), and the article in question was submitted by a different member hence it is in the magazine. As I have not had any business dealings with Jon, I have heard enough to keep me away, I cannot say anything to his practices. Also, as I do not write the Vboost, although I do get to review the pre print copy, I exercise very little editorial control.
Bob,
You want my line and not the VMOA company line???? Last I checked the club was member driven and I am a member. Put aside that I am the VP and I would still feel the same way. Try to censor you, nope, ask for consideration on the part of a member for the club, YES. All I ever hear from you is a bunch of slams on other people, their bikes, and insults as to their intelligence (PS: you might want to learn grammar before you decide to call intellect into question). I have talked to you on the phone and know that you are a good guy, show it here. If you don't like the cover of the Vboost, submit a pic of you and your bike and I will put in a good word for you with the editor, providing the pic is appropriate.
As for kissing anyones ass, let alone Cronell's, you can piss off. I don't ever kiss anyone's ass nor do I plan to start. He accomplished something that hadn't been done before with a Gen 2 bike, no more no less. Who cares if he "sprayed the **** out of it" or the fact that it has been so heavily modified it isn't street legal, he still ran a sub 9 second time and that is the point of the article.
I am putting back on my VP hat so if you have anything further to say to me about this put it in a PM as this does not need to go any further in public.
