That is what I will remember. From here I will move on. I will assist anybody I reasonably can. The new owner of the Titan purchased the Titan assets, inventory and brand, to assist Titan owners. The new owner saved the Titan name or surely the bank would have liquidated and pieced out everything. Saving the Titan brand is the second most important event for Titan owners.

I have done so. I really did not wish to provide any comments, but after reading some of the comments, I can see I should respond to some of the unfounded comments. To Art Welch, you are a common liar. You claim I am in Florida selling Titan’s. What persuades you to make that false claim? You do not know I am in Florida let alone selling bikes. I am in Phoenix. Now, Art Welch, I am calling you a pathetic lieing psychotic, Why, because you so matter-of-fact claim “he’s down there right now” and then imagine I am selling 2005- 2007 inventory. Do you know what a psychotic is? The dictionary states “mentally ill or unstable person, marked by loss of or greatly lessened ability to test weather what one is thinking about the real world is true “ I am not in Florida and I am not selling bikes there. Finally, Art, I am putting you on notice that you have slandered my name and made a false claim of criminal activity. You comment that I have removed inventory from Titan so I could sell it cheap. I had not removed anything that was not accounted for by me and the bank. I expect that you will publicly, on this Blog, withdraw and apologize about these unfounded statements. Now to the rest of the audience, let’s see if Art is man enough to apologize, and admit his lies. Most of the world knows I and Titan are not in Daytona Bike week in Florida. Everyone involved with the Titan bankruptcy knows all parties kept a close eye on motorcycle inventory. How much do you want to bet that Artie comes back with some statement that does not even address this exact issue? Artie will go off on some other direction. maybe about my long lost brother I locked him up in cage, hid him from the world so my mother would think he was dead. Then I sued my mother for child support, because my mother was really my wife. But my name is not really Donn A Proudfoot, it is Donna, and I am really a woman that hates scornful little men. Woo, I am starting to sound like Artie. One crazy imagination!! Hey, you got to laugh at the lunatics , it drives them crazy !!! PS Whomever wrote the “I apologize for being Art Welch” You were right on the money about his character. Is it true about his mother supporting him? I met her in her dealership. Very pleasant lady. I mean that sincerely. PPS I did not right the Arturo epigram. Wish I did. I find it funny that Artie believer’s I did. He tells the world I did, without proof then chases his tail like a mad dog trying to prove it. By the way Artie, when you catch your tale, you got your nose up your ASS.

I am just wondering when this new company (i don't know who's name is even on the deed) will be taking over the "Dealer Agreements" as part of the buyout agreement. I guess I assume "Dealer Agreements" meaning the warranty and other things of that nature. I just want to get a New Speedometer and by rights, SHOULD NOT have to pay for it out of pocket. That's why I wanted the direct line to Arizona Motorcycle works. I have seen 2 reports on the Better Business Bureau dealing directly with the issue of these types of "Dealer Agreements", alleging failure to honor terms regarding guarantees or warranties. Their answer was "Company failed to respond to the BBB to resolve or address the complaint issues." Not surprising was listed for 2 seperate addresses, same company. With so many people being disgruntled after shelling out, in some cases, 10's of thousands of dollars, it would seem to be that the right thing to do would make amends with these customers first before trying to re-start a business. Perhaps my morals and ethics lie deeper than others do. Fix the problem, keep customer's happy, reply in a timely manner to inquiries, it doesn't take a graduate of business school to know that. I work in manufacturing too and even though our customer are not always right, admiting to our mistakes and righting our wrongs helps keep them coming back and getting more down the road. If there is someone that has a connection to getting a Speedometer for a 2006 Radical Ridgid - it make my day to talk to you. Sorry, havent been keeping up on the latest news with the bankruptcy.

Low miles and very nice. Now my concern is what happens when i need parts. Does anyone know who supllied the various parts like the transmission or the front forks. I know it has a titanized engine which happens to be a S&S 107 " Evo style. Any idea of what the was done to make it titanized? is it just the Titan logo engraved on the rocker covers?
