Nope. I requested administrative/moderator status but without response to either that request or to several others, so I can definitely reiterate that I'm just a Golden owner like everyone else except perhaps for being aware of the need for more input to build a comprehensive owner's manual than my own and the value such an owners forum might have to take a manual's place.
The interesting thing about this forum now is the direct opposition from those who would otherwise claim that a Golden motor is so efficient that it will give a 30 mile radius and 3,000 recharge cycles on a 12 volt, 12Ah SLA/AGM, just to sell a kit. I believe Philip to be an honest business man struggling against overwhelming odds from perhaps other owners and certain distributors, dealers and resellers who do not want the truth to be spoken and shared, and dealt with by owners so they can make false claims to sell lots of kits. I believe that Philip sees the value of this forum as much as we do for both long term sales and trust in his company it will bring rather than as the threat which dishonest and deceitful distributors, dealers and resellers see. Philip is up against the devil, which is what I see, and we are here to either help him succeed in his struggle or abandon him and let the devil win. Hopefully Philip will be able to return the favor to us someday in ways we have not thought of yet. So everyone hang in there, we are not done helping Philip and each other fight the devil, not quite yet.
