    I sent the guy my heli bars to try out.
    He never paid or sent them back & now no response to PM's & EM's.

    Maybe he's goin' thru some serious sh!t or something....but....geeze.

    Ahhhh, yeah, that's it. You must have eaten a lot of paint chips as a kid to give your bars to a stranger. Hey, I've got this great uncle in Nigeria who needs 5k and all of your private info in order to make you a millionaire. You must contact him ASAP though! Be sure to stuff only cash in the envelope. It is safer that way!

    This happens every once in a while. Most folks here are stand up people and would not allow this to turn into a mess. I hope he just forgot and sees this and makes things right. VFRW is full of good people.

    Unfortunately you have paid the price to learn a valuable lesson. Sorry.

    People are basically bad. Given a choice with no consequences to them they will inevitably make the bad choice. Messes it up for all of the decent honest folks.

    jeez, I didnt think posting a video of a stoppie qualifies me as a criminal. I am very sorry if I offended anyone.

    Tell mama to pound sand.
    Too many folks on this board provide too much help to those in need.

    I offered these Heli's to this guy to try out - no rush. Now in retrospect, I PROBABLY should have been more definitive as to how long he could look them over - ya stoopid there ...I'll give you that - but who knows....maybe his kid got hit by a car or he lost his house & Helis' are at the bottom of the things to do list. I get that.

    Come to think of it, the guy I bought these from was rear-ended right after he bought them, I totaled my Gen5 right after I bought them......maybe there is bad juju in those Helibars & it's better if they DON'T come back.

    who knows.

    we'll see.......

    Well I sent off an email in your support. Do you have a telephone number or the street address you sent them to? PM me them and maybe I can help. He was only here for a few months and a few post so who knows for sure.

    I sent the bars to his address & he included his Cell number at the time.......so long ago - I had forgotten.

    Thanx Bry!

    A couple of simple rules.

    Never ever , ever mess with someone elses bike!

    If a biker helps you out, pay him back in spades!

    If you make a promise, keep a promise!

    Maybe I should start a new thread with a "Biker Code of Ethics"

    Hopefully Stoppie comes back with a good explanation.
