dynodon · January 17, 2006, 01:26:01 AM

Hey Chris, how ya doing today??, Hows the bike look?, I cant believe your pipes didnt break the exhaust flange off the cylinders!!
Hope you make it to Ga. !!, Remeber if ya need something we all will pull it together for ya !!!

cutngrs · January 17, 2006, 02:13:46 AM

chris did you get in touch with the shop you gut the a arms from and are they going to make things right

Hoosier Daddy · January 17, 2006, 02:22:34 AM

Well i checked over everything today and all seems well.. I didnt look at the flanges.. ill do that tomorrow. The bike fired up on the first kick and seemed to run ok. ive decided to put the stock A arms back on.. I guess you can say im a little spooked now... I have one side of the A arms swapped so far. Tomorrow ill do the other side. Once i get it washed i can take a better look at the cylinders ETC. There is sand EVERYWHERE! i think from the fuel going everywhere it made the sand stick like glue.

Don,
Im doing better today. i have some nice brusies on my inner thighs and my lower back is killing me. if the weather is good ill be in HAZ.

Smoknbanshee · January 17, 2006, 03:20:21 AM

i am feeling the spooked part chris...ya definetly need to at least be in hazelhurst and take a pass or two to get that out of ya now....the longer you wait the worst it is going to get...

tribal banshee · January 17, 2006, 03:37:27 AM

that right there just lets you know how fast something can go all wrong

. Chris that wheelie bar must have worked too good to slam you back down. need to lower your rear a little, give a little less bite. I would put your stock ones back on too at least your spindles. You know those aren't going to break.

badcompanyracing · January 17, 2006, 03:56:06 AM

sorry about the wreck just get better and come on back racing the quicker you get back on the easier it will be . if we can help any way give us a hollar this is Travis hope to see ya in Hazlehurst

catman · January 17, 2006, 01:21:33 PM

he did not have the wheelie bar on becuse the track was all chopped up

dynodon · January 17, 2006, 11:51:09 PM

Good to hear your feeling somewhat better anyway !!, When I had surgery on my hand, ALEVE worked better than the class 3 narcotics they gave me. You might want to try that, It will also help keep the inflamation down-in turn LESS PAIN !!!!!

dynodon · January 18, 2006, 01:34:15 AM

Hoosier Daddy · January 18, 2006, 02:13:10 AM

Hoosier Daddy · January 18, 2006, 02:14:36 AM

this was his response.. Im glad he cared...

Please send the broken parts to **** palm springs cir, san jose, ca95123
i will replace the parts that are broken.

Hoosier Daddy · January 18, 2006, 02:15:31 AM

My reply..

Andy,

I dont think you understand... i dont want new spindles..Im not
risking my life again.. i want a refund. My lesson was learned the
first time.. Im tring to make this easy. Im not asking you to pay for
right side shear pipe, YOUR Tie rods (one is bent the other is broke),
the top right A arms heim joint, or my back and leg pains not to
mention my 5yo son witnessed the whole thing. I sent you pics as
proof, once a refund is received, ill send you the parts for your
inspection. Ill give you the heads up, im not going to wait weeks or
even days to settle this with you. Im not being nasty, its just
rumored that you like to procrastinate on things..

Hoosier Daddy · January 18, 2006, 02:16:50 AM

some of the info i had to ****. If he is going to be that cold... I will take the next step... Im still withholding the company name until i hear back..

Smoknbanshee · January 18, 2006, 03:02:45 AM

Chris I hate to say this, but here we come Sand Slingers......It doesn't look like this is going to be resolved in a quick fashion. What ever happened to CUSTOMER SERVICE. I think everyone that starts a business in the US should be required to go to some kind of certified CUSTOMER SERVICE training. Burns my a$$ everytime I hear of something like this.

For instance, Go to lowe's and return stuff all day long, go to home depot and it takes an act of congress to return stuff. Lesson, F&*$ HOME DEPOT...

Hoosier Daddy · January 18, 2006, 03:06:53 AM

well im waiting to see what he says, are my emails clear and to the point? i tried being nice but that didnt work.. but i dont want to burn any bridges legally... i dont want anything to make me look bad if this went to court..
All im asking is the 200.00 for the spindels... not the 500.00 i paid for the whole kit... or for that matter all my busted parts.. what bothers me is i just has the whole bike powdercoated and now its full of chips...

Smoknbanshee · January 18, 2006, 03:09:26 AM

pretty clear to me...but i am pretty literate too....i am just one proud man that cut didn't buy them for his bike....i don't have as much cushion as you do in my body....and i hate the taste of sand...
