Sit tight! He'll have a cost soon.

Richard now wants to directly compare his list with ours so he can eliminate the duplicates.

601HP! Who are you? PM me if you you don't want to go public.

What'saCobra? Same.

It just might happen.....

601HP and Whatsacobra,

Thanks for the names. May I presume they are yours?

I'll give Richard the names tomorrow and try to get a yea or nay. Keep your safety wires crossed

Just looking back at my notes, I originally started talking to Halibrand back in February 2008. It's almost February 2011.

Time flies.

You could have carved a set of wheels out of billet magnesium in that time with your Boy Scout pocket knife. In fact, you're more likely to get them that way than via this thread.

I'm still learning to use a scissors, so I don't think anyone would want me around using a knife.

Well, I would bet that when the economy starts to rock n' roll again and the lines are 10-20 deep forming at the CA DMV doors that wintery 1st day of January for one of those coveted SB100 exemptions, Halibrand will rise again like the Phoenix.

Or at least I hope so.

It'll take more than Greek mythology for California to meet its debt service. Ain't happenin'...

Actually, I've kept emails of the back-and-forth I've had with Halibrand. I believe I took delivery of my Kirkham in October 2007 and subsequently starting "harassing" Halibrand shortly thereafter.

But there's also a CC thread that dates back to that "era" as well with my name in it.

Hey, lets not bash CA, Patrick, how's your state doing? No not your mental state, I hear 47 of 50 states aren't doing too well financially.

Did Richard own the company then? I've lost track of the ownership since I bought mine-can you reconstruct?

You can reconstruct the ownership if you search 'Halibrand' on the H.A.M.B.
I just did it myself recently.
LOT'S of history with that company.

I actually started corresponding with a women named Karen. They probably laid her off and then Richard took over sales. Just a guess.

I have no clue about ownership changes. Not really that important to me, unless someone claims their 2001 vintage magnesium Halibrand wheels are worth more than my 2021 vintage.

In this case, I believe in LMMV. Last Made Most Valuable.
