LOL ..... A GREAT LITTLE READ! .... FANBOYS TAKE NOTE 
Rich you're naughty little boy. Ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?
Continue to lie and those that do listen now may not in the future. So while you still have a few fanboys supporting you blindly here my advice is to go away and stop lying.

23/11/2009 Aprilia Forum AF1
Product information vs. advertising explained
There has been a bit of discussion as of late about the differences between pushing one's own products and providing information about available products.
AF1 has never, nor will we ever, ban people, or otherwise delete or disallow threads posted for informational purposes on new products, competitors products, etc.
People who own their own businesses that sell products that compete with the offerings of AF1 Racing, and who choose to get some free advertising by using our forum to sell their products, will get warned, then banned.
AF1 Racing has worked very hard to build and maintain this forum, and we pay for all associated software, bandwidth, server hosting, etc out of our own pocket. For another company to use this media free of cost to push their own product is unacceptable.
Obviously the main issue here has been the MRGRN and Rich22 debacle. The result has been people thinking that they can't discuss the PCV. This is not true at all. Both Rich and Mrgrn took every opportunity to mislead other forum members, saying that we would ban them etc for discussing products. This was purely retaliation for us not allowing them to push their own products on our site. They have both been permanently banned due to their persistent quest to make AF1 out to be censors of all information.
We don't take kindly to these guys using our bandwidth to bad talk us, and try to turn people against us.
Ducati forum.co.uk Various posts from last year.
"We stopped running Austin exhausts on the RSV4's we ran in BSB in 2009. Less power, more noise than Akrapovic, and blew cans apart with monotonous regularity."
"Most of his Hp claims mysteriously only happen on his own dyno. Nobody else i knew that dynoed the ape versions seemed to get the same figures or even that close. ?"
"Careful he might threaten to sue you. Some of the guys who said detrimental things on the Aprilia Forum got threatening or abusuve messages."

You and i both know it to be totally untrue.
Austinracing exhausts outperform the Akra system's and we have not had 1 failure world wide. We decided to stop working with Splitlath for obvious reasons.
We have outsold Akrapovich for the RSV4 on our products reputation.
Not sure what your problem is but your remarks are unfounded and childish.
Spoonz, lets not get started again!
Sadly Rich, thats totally untrue.....we were ALWAYS having cans blow apart, and failing noise tests, and consistantly we got more power with the Akrapovic pipes than with yours...I have no axe to grind with you, its just a fact. Same with the rearsets...as I said, your exhausts took much longer to remove because we had to fiddle around with the poor quality of fitting used to hold them on the footpeg...with the Akra's we had no such issue as they were not mounted on the pegs.....end of.......
And what were the "obvious reasons" you stopped having them on the Splitlath bikes?"
"IF I'd have had an axe to grind with or about Rich, I'd have said so....but my post was based purely on the facts. I myself removed a number of cans from the Splitlath bikes which had failed, so I not only know that we DID have them fail, but also DYNO'd the bikes at various BSB rounds, and saw that CONSISTANTLY, in back to back tests on the same dyno within minutes of each other, the Akrapovic pipes produced MORE power and LESS noise ( "Austinracing exhausts outperform the Akra system's and we have not had 1 failure world wide" ) making this statement completely untrue...sorry Rich, thats not aimed personally, its just the facts of the matter...so how on EARTH you can claim your exhausts outperform Akra's, when you yourself, KNOWING we were using Akra's, INSISTED we put Austin Racing stickers on them, I just dont know. What I CAN say, is that in the end, Hudson Kennaugh INSISTED they were removed and Akrapovic systems used instead . Best you get off your soapbox."
"Lol...ok Rich......believe your own hype then....I was there when they failed, I took them off the RSV-4's......and YOU know that, cos YOU insisted we put YOUR stickers on the Akrapovic cans ffs.......sadly, the more you wriggle, the more idiotic your claims look...and now I'm getting pissed off with these lies you are putting here about superior product and never having had a failure...YOU KNOW THAT IS UNTRUE."
