Yes I am back - Questions?
« on: December 13, 2008, 07:05:17 PM »
This is just a matter of answering questions here. Not a matter of self importance, but rather ease for myself. Rather than chase around to several threads, I am creating this new one so that I can more easily respond to questions. If you are a customer that feels they have been done wrong, then please do contact me and give me a chance to make the deal right. Right now I am sifting through email after 2 machine changes and migrations of email that amount to over 12,000 emails.

Please do keep it civil as I really do not desire an argument with anyone. I do thank all who have welcomed me back thus far. I have been asked in a few messages if the bike in the avatar is mine, the answer is no - it is a customer bike with my new DOHC faces installed. Also I am not presently doing gauge faces and have no idea when it will start again. I do have some old stock still available for those who are interested. I only mention this as I have received several messages about this matter.

Hi Tom, I have a few questions but they are none of my freakin' business.

I hope that you're O.K.l and that things are going along well for you. Or at least better than they were. Regards, TC.

Toycollector- I laughed out loud.

So- I don't get it.  As in- I just thought you went fishing or something.  Business partner tried to kill you?  Divorce?  Lost a leg in a mining accident?  None of my business...

Well- hello again, then.  Your website looks good, BTW.
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!

Still working on the bugs in the site and there are plenty. It was a rough couple of years to say the least. Accident - yes, divorce? nearly. I am sure Hef will show up to kick me because I think it is a good idea to at least try to remedy the situation rather than run off like a coward. :)

Glad to see you're back.




Although I have to add...


...as a mouth breather, I'm offended by your tag line.

Getting ready to change that all up. :) Sick and tired of arguing with people these days and changing gears all around. Those who "believe" they are right will always "believe" they are right.

Wow - I wrote a lot of offensive stuff? :P

Hey Unca' Ernie. Cheapo has had a lot to deal with. I've been on the forum a while and  know a little bit about the background.

I wouldn't want to have to deal with what Tom (Cheapo) had to go through. But maybe I will someday. I hope not.

So all I'm saying is "Hello mate, I hope things are better than they were"

And if some forum members didn't get parts or the wrong parts or didn't get emails answered please cut him some slack. And give the guy a break, I think he's getting his #$%* sorted and is trying to make some amends and get back on track!  Patience is a virtue also.

Rant over.

It is always nice to have repeat customers. I am offering a new pattern with a special sohc4.net member discount.


I thanks everyone else for the welcome back, I can only hope I am deserving of it.

Well Tom,  as I have said before....welcome back!

As for the nay sayers etc....well let's just say that "let he who is without sin cast the first stone". 'Nuff said in my mind

Glad to see you back around here. BTW, any new builds? I assume you sold off Rabia and HomeWrecker?

Home Wrecker sold to a bloke out of Manitoba Canada. Rabia is still sitting and I have much different plans for it. I was looking to do something with a "Disturbed-Marylin Manson-WTF" kind of thing. Artistic but intentionally grotesque. Lots of very old school engraving on the aluminum. Sort of a bike you have to keep looking at as there is detail on the detail. Love it or hate it the judges won't stop looking at it or thinking about it.

I want it where the judges are still talking about it a week later, calling each other and saying, "That thing was just sick".
