Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Since the Diablo was already burned in at the factory, do not expect major additional changes.  Changes are subtle at best.  ‘I cannot say enough positive things about my local dealer.  He lent me the Diablo knowing that I was “owned” by 2 Great P...

Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash
