I'm not saying peoples negative experiences with mph are not valid because they are. All I know is doug has done alot of work on my bike and done it right (thus far). Hes expensive yes. But you get what you pay for. I have been to 3 different well known suspension tuners and he was the only one who gave me a bike that felt ridable. I took my bike to one tuner that everyone goes to and it felt awful, took it doug, went back to the same track a week later it felt amazing. I dropped down to a 9 flat around nelson last year from a mid 11 the year before. Nelson has to be the shittiest race surface in america and my bike felt as planted as it if were smooth as glass. Hes done everything from engine work, dyno tuning, and suspension. All of which he did super fast and correct so i could get to the next race week end. I'v got nothing but positive experiences with the guy, if that changes ill be sure to let you guys know. I'm not going to name any names but I got my fork back from a highly recommended tuner with a fing leaking fork seal!? I called him out on it and he said "it wasnt leaking when I shipped it." Ok it just started spewing oil on its way to my house in the ups truck.
