GEEZ Man, it seem's like you could have just got the part's from a place you could get along with--BUT damn sending a 70yr old Mother (I don't get that), If a man insulted my mother I would just have to woop his *** or get mine wooped, But then I figured out in life if I don't like someone I sure as heck don't let them make money off me---Bottom Line here is you Blew this up BAD.

Man, you sure have a knack for starting long threads.
I'm not going to comment on the how you handled.the situation, my thoughts don't matter and as long as you are good with the outcome neither do anyone else's
If you'll truly do what you said a while back, be done with this thread, crap will die down.
No one can make you not abandon this site but it's kinda like cutting off your nose to spite your face. There's tons of good info and experience on here and usually more people willing to help than hate.
But you'll do what you'll do.
Good luck either wsy.

Ah, don't worry about a few guys here. There's nothing more they enjoy than rubbing salt in wounds, turning on victims, distorting issues and insulting others.

It's their kind of R&R.

He said Bob has workers, how many? Like someone said, "3 sides".

I actually read his posts and what he wrote was that his friends offered and he turned them down.

So he's clean on that front.

I'm so confused.

Well in the end all worked out. The Maj has his parts and is not facing any law charges. Bob is still ok and still cranky. The Maj's mom sounds like a tough old girl that can handle herself and she didn't put a 9 mm hole in Bob's forehead. So all in all its funny how this thread wound a few people up. Thanks Maj for letting us know about Bob even though I'm 2000 miles away you never know when a rider may cruise through the area.

Well, this thread was good for some laughs anyway. I looked at the Google reviews for Cycle Bob's and his responses to negative reviews were hilarious. He truly appears to be a nut case and I'm not sure why anyone would do business with him.
