• He made realize that I needed to change

  Bob Marley

  What can I add about this man that hasn’t already been said?! So, rather than trying to qualify his importance for the rest of you, I’ll tell you what he means to me personally. There was a time in my life where I was straying from what’s important, you know, going down a really bad road. Then I discovered this man’s message. He made realize that I needed to change and make friends with the Creator again. Is he a prophet? I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but to me, he is and his message and music helped save me. JAH love!

  Turner Bikes

  Turner Bikes makes some of the best built, best riding mountain bikes in the world. They are known as a boutique builder - a place where your bike is still made by a craftsman and not one of millions made by machine. To those of us who live to ride bikes, you know what I’m saying when I say that a bike represents freedom, and the best bikes are the ones that feel like an extension of yourself. You connect with the machine and feel like one with the earth. There is something about a Turner that takes it to a whole new level. To say that these bikes ride well is not doing it justice.

  The unbelievable joy of owning a Turner doesn’t stop with the bike, the company itself is a model Lovemark. The customer service is second to none in an industry where big brand companies dominate. The owner, Dave Turner, is the man behind the company and he’s the reason it’s my Lovemark. One, he actually rides bikes. Two, he actually talks and listens to the folks that ride his bikes. Three, if something goes wrong, he fixes it. When you call, email, fax, etc., someone answers, usually very quickly. I belong to a little web community of mountain bikers, so called Turner Homers, that will extol to no end the virtues of these bikes, this company, and DT. We get ridiculed for our "loyalty beyond reason". That’s fine. As one of our members so eloquently puts it, "Those who know ride a Turner!"
