yes he did - Paul was his name - he used to work at Motorola.

One of the bikes turned out to be a little bit of a lemon. The engine was rebuilt using a 1015 10.5:1 kit and the shop doing the work cracked a cam cap, but didn't tell the owner. They also stripped out some threads and helicoiled them (badly). The bike ran like a dog... high compression pistons, high-lift cams, 29mm smoothbores and a stock exhaust system.
