This has been a crazy 4 months for me. Never expected Tom to ask me to do an article for Rodmaker. Even a cover shot. Timing was great .
But this is to thanks everyone that stopped to look, talk and buy the split grips.
Last thank you to Billy V. for your help. BTW he was my roommate

It was great having you in the booth, and to see all the work that has gone into those grips since the last ICRBE in 2012 - the response from everyone who passed by and bought one or gave you compliments was worth it times 10!!
