Default FELLOW MEMBER NEEDS HELP (please read)


Hey Guys...

I really need some help. As some of you know, I was in a major head-on motorcycle accident back in August where I almost lost my life. I am now recovering after 8 surgeries and I’m healing well. I expect to be able to walk without assistance by this Summer.

My problem is that I haven’t been able to work since August, and since I am self-employed and have been since ‘85... I have zero income unless I work. Zip, zero, nada. No State Disabilityno nothing.

I was even turned down by SSI because in their terms, I am capable to do a sit-down desk job... WTF?... I’ve been working my tail offon my feet since I was a kid, and who in the hell is going to hire a 48yr old tattooed biker with no experiencefor a desk job anyhow????

I’ve been struggling to make ends meet bypromoting my saddlebag protectors on this forum, and getting a $178/month in food stamps for me and my 4yr. old daughter.

I recently got my first foreclosure notice on my home and there’s really nothing I can do at this point. My only immediate concern is to take care of my daughter, put food on the table and pay the utilities until I can get back to work.

I’m just asking if you guys could please help me out and pick up a set of my bag protectors or any of the other Paint Protection Film kits I have for sale. It’s a really good product at a fair price and I’ve sold a dozen or so here on this forum with positive feedback.

I'm a nice respectable guy and just want to get back on my feet and make a normal living for my family.

I’m not here to sidestep any rules... but I really need some help. Please PM me or call me at (925) 200-8556 if you have any questions.

Please, if you have any negative comments or wish to flame my post...please don’t. My story is only the Readers Digest version and I’m not asking for ahandout... just somehelp.

PS.
Thank youto those of you who've purchased my product (you know who you are). If any of you have anything to say about the product, my customer service, or are familiar with my situation, please post... I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Mikey

Give us a price, and maybe some of us could help ourselves and you out at the same time. Good luck.

profinish,
I had already planned to pickup one of your kits. I'm aware of the durability of this product.
I won't be getting it til next month though. I'm having my scoot painted and I have so much crap (parts) laying around I don't want to add to it if I can help it.

Question for you...does this kit include a piece to go under the passenger seat? If not, could you include a piece for me to cut...for a fee of course. Also, I'm painting my frame...I'd like to get some pieces for the downtubes as well. I realize this is a special request and I won't ask you to go through the layout processjust forme. I'll just need some extra material, I'll cut it. No prob paying additional money either.

Thanks!

Not a problem!... I'll throw them in the kit for free when you order. Just give me the dimensions of the area under your seat and the areas of the frame you want to cover.

BTW... I just covered a candy brandywine AN stretched frame in my garage yesterday... covered the whole damn thing too!... Man, it looks sweet and you cant even see the edges because I moved them to the inside.

Good choice on covering the frame!

Hit me up when you're ready.

Mikey
