Wow, things happen quickly around here!
Here's the skinny. I sold Jake a set of NSR125 triple clamps for his CB500. Included was a new set of tapered roller brgs for the steering head, plus spacers, everything needed for the swap. The NSR triples are 35mm offset something he wanted for his build. There was some machining I paid for, plus a bunch of emails explaining the "how to".
The package shipped July 29th. I told him to pay me once shipped & I had the total.
I know, I know it's a dumb way to do it, but I like to have faith in humanity. He asked if I could wait a while for the money & I told him fine. Some time later he wouldn't respond to emails and I bad mouthed him on here. Jerry stepped up and actually got a response from him. He told us both his brother was on his death bed and he was having trouble dealing with it all and if I could wait a little longer....I don't know if there is any truth to it all, but I let him off the hook again.
I waited a couple months and now he doesn't respond to the gmail addy.
It's $142.00 and it won't break me to not be paid but it just pisses me off. Every time I bad mouth someone I end up looking like the #$%*head. Whatever, if he sees this & I get my dough I'll be able to buy my grandkids a lump of coal for Christmas.
I don't want anyone doing something any of us will regret, but if he gets a message, I'm grateful for the help.
