Just found them and it seems my assessment was spot on.

More than a few reviews from folks who had taken their bikes there, had nothing done to them, and then been charged $50 to $99 to get them back.

So, well done MAJ, you pull the rug from under his feet before he took you for a ride, and without getting yourself in trouble.

No tough guy here... not trying to be one either... I apologize for the condescending tone of my comment

The point is you sent your MOM, because you couldn't handle a guy yelling at you.....

Think about that... if you don't get it, then never mind...

A reference to basic training perhaps?

But hey, he sent his mom packing a 9mm so I think it's pretty cool. And she did only live next door. I think that'd make a great scene in a biker movie.

70 year old lady walks into a biker shop, pulls out a piece from her handbag, takes her son's parts, and then tells the owner to go F himself.

Class act.

Skid_pimp hit it first. Don’t know if he’s serious, but that “stabbed him” line was just plain funny. No offense intended.

F that. You should have never called the guy. If it had been me, I would have just shown up and asked for my damn parts. If he had threaten me, I would have made myself clear of my intentions concerning my paid parts. I would have then walked away with my parts either scratch free or not. F that their my parts.

Or send their elderly mother in to deal with him. This thread is yet another way for the OP to "deal" with him without having to do it himself. The trouble is (as I see it) there are more and more people today that can't see who it really is causing their trouble; in spite overwhelming evidence. Common sense is the new super power.

I offer this to the OP as I did for one of my kids many moons ago. "In a world that can't agree on Coke or Pepsi; what's the odds that they've come together against you?"

A problem like this could have EASILY been resolved if the OP had posted here asking for advise BEFORE taking matters into his mom's hands.
