Rich,
Thanks for the update. It is unfortunate that Hurricane is considering not offering kits anymore. I was ready to place my order for a Hurricane but got spooked with the latest forum traffic.
One of the great things about Hurricane is that it is a replica for the builder. There are many replicas on the market that are turnkey minus, or really not the easiest for the garage warrior to fully assemble. I have been following the Hurricane forum for quite a while and the owners are great and seem to really be thrilled to be building their dream. I visited the factory and met Mike Arps, and had a really good time, as well as my first ride in a Cobra.
Obviously you guys need to do what is right for your company, but if you decide to not offer the kit, I'll have to go back to the drawing board to find another kit, because tunkey is not for me. I know I am just one, but I think there are a lot more like me out there.
Consider my name the first on the petition to save the Hurricane kit
Or better yet, offer turnkey minus and the kit to brinng in even more customers. I am just an engineer, not a business man, and I know there's a lot more to it.....
Save the Hurricane!!!!
Good Luck,
Mark
