Dave Folkerith not also doing them now?

Well if we are looking at the list it seems like not or at least not at this time. We we last visited he seemed a little disheartened at the lack of people coming into the demo and lack of sales. To be honest he seemed bored and perhaps tire of travel but that might have been a down time for him. Perhaps a long winters nap will cure that.

We have had only two people doing demos in this area the last while, Dave and Mike. I've heard from here that there is at least one more person around or was it two, anyway I've not seen them. At least the one guy that was around for a while hasn't been around in at least 6 years.

Last summer when I was looking to get the PP upgrade, I looked on the demo site quite a bit. I was looking for one close to me, close to my son and on the route to and from my mother-in-laws to visit; so I was looking in lots of areas. If I recall correctly, there appeared to be a couple of other people doing demos but not full time. Some one was doing a couple of months in a region and at the same time a third region then nothing. A couple of weeks all three had a demo so know that there were more people doing them. Maybe late spring and summer (the time frame I was looking) are the busy seasons because as summer ended the number of demos dropped to only one per week.

I don't know but, that is who I bought my factory Power Pro head stock and double tilt upgrade from in Dec 2012. Lowe's in Salt Lake City.
