Here is the other main villain in my Elka trip. John is the guy on the phone if you are calling Elka about motorcycle shocks. A former semi-pro hockey player who seems little worse for the wear (the many knocks to the head seem to have little lasting effect). These guys certainly know their business. I also met the owner Martin who is enthusiastic and positive about life. One thing that I'll say about everyone I met over the too brief visit/learning session is that they are all knowledgeable proffessionals who engage in the sports they are making products for. If you are talking to someone about quad shocks they probably used to race one. Elka supports many series in Canada including a 125 cup for Honda CBR 125's. This could be the basis for a 250 Ninja Cup in the US.
