Title: Bowman's Rings has been sold to Bjorn Baal
Post by: Frank Bowman on January 31, 2017, 01:55:09 PM
Hello Everyone,
I am in the process of selling my business, Bowman's Rings, and I am personally training the young man who is buying the business.
Soon we will be sending out info as to where you can buy these piston rings.
So watch your emails, and we will let you know when he is up and running.
This young man is really catching on real well, and we are sure you will be very happy with his piston rings.
In the meantime his name is Bjorn, and his email is rmjmachineworx@gmail.com

Take care, and God Bless!
Frank Bowman

Teach him not to mail the rings in an envelope so they all get bent.

Interesting accusation. Frank has sold 1000's of rings and I have never heard of them being bent unless it happened by the buyer trying to install them.

Hi Frank:

While I am sorry that you have decided to retire I am pleased to see that you are selling the ring business. What is even better is that you are working to make sure the new owner learns how to do the job the way you always did it!

Frank I have always said that your product was one of the best there was. In addition to making a fine product you were and still are one of the most knowledgeable and nicest gentlemen I have every had the pleasure of working with. I hope that we will still see you at many of the contests. I really missed having you and your booth next to mine at last years VSC.

Enjoy your retirement my friend.

Eric Rule

Well, people go along to get along don't they. Rings should be shipped in uncrushable packing not all thrown loose into a plastic bag where they cross over each other to get bent with the slightest pressure. I don't think that's unreasonable.

    You have the machine shop, call yourself Motorman, and all this knowledge, why don't you make and sell us piston rings?  Give us the benefit of all your years of experience and show us how it's done?
    Just sayin',

Hi Frank, That's Happy News Indeed! I have always appreciated your services and kindness, many thanks for all you did and are now doing! I look forward to dealing with the new man once he is up and running!

Best of luck to the new man! He will have been trained in the right way to do business once Frank has worked his magic!
