Brian & Mike

Does the chain of repair shops your wife works for post in a public forum
for people to look up the background of their customers? In all of this,
Mike maintains that nothing, I mean nothing inappropriate was done by him or
his shop. I don't believe that. That is where this starts and stops.

 

Get a clue. Brian posted in a public forum first. And Mike has offered to
remedy the situation. Brian has decided not to take him up on the offer as
far as I can tell.

 

Well bubba, I got a clue. You might try getting honest with yourself. I know
exactly how the Usenet thing went down. And even though it is as far as you
can tell, it is not the synopsis you just posted. So let me try again since
you seem to be the lowest common denominator of a public education.

Bill, do you wonder if little Chornbe, is little Iggys bro, or might the
two be the same little guy. <g>

Wrong.. I came after your sorry ass on reeky..

LOL.. Get your broke ass over there and buy something .. Renegade Motor-
cycles sure need the money this week.. Damn.. ol' Mike Thompson has got
to pay for all that insurance and those lawyers on his payroll.. hehehe..

Funny that he didn't mention anything about all that insurance when Brian
was
trying to get him to look at that fucked up motorcycle.. Now.. he's wanting
to
buy the motorcycle for the price HE'S offering.. That sucker has got a lot
of
sentimental value now.. and he probably can't buy that thing for ANY price..

My price would be .. "Shut your fucking doors, Thompson".. then, that bike
is
all yours..

My price to you is for you to go ahead and make your NART ride.. and keep
your unqualified opinions to yourself.. The question is.. since you've got
such
an interest in what's going on in Texas and you are so enthusiastic about
NART
Where were you two years ago when NART did their "reunion" in Breckenridge?

Defending a crooked assed dealer like Mike Thompson and Renegade Motor-
cycles, after all the good bikers they've raped in this metroplex, don't say
much
for your own character.. Trying to attack the guy that is finally trying to
expose
the crooked son of bitch.. who you never heard of.. says even less about
your
character..

Now.. either go for your little ride or stay on here and play usenet..
hell.. I'm
retired .. and no ride planned for a few days.. Plenty of time to eat your
lunch..

Exactly.. leave it alone, Jerry.. No need to get involved in all this.. MIke
Thompson..
this clown and those other three usenet players are just blowing smoke..

Get back to work on that Valkyrie and we'll see each other soon.. Take care
of yourself.. Regards

Bill Walker

 

hmmm.. Kinda leads to the question .. WTF do you care ? You don't have a
quarter invested either way.. Point is.. that motorcycle belongs to Brian
Walker..
and it's not for Mike Thompson to set the price on.. Try going into Renegade
and make a deal like that on some of the merchandise in there.. Good doins'
if you could pull it off.. A lot of people in this metroplex have met MIke
Thomp-
son and some of us have "offered" some business to Renegade.. Quite a few
of those that did some shop business there, have taken a beating.. and then,
took the motorcycle to a legitimate shop for correct repair.. They got about
the same treatment that Brian got, when he found his motorcycle in the cond-
ition it was in..

Either forum suits me.. so let's either get it on or you go ahead on your
little
ride and keep your unqualified opinions to yourself about something that is
taking place far, far away from anywhere you'd have an interest in..

Bill Walker

 

Yep, welcome. We've got jackets, coffee mugs, tattoos and an annual rally.

 

ROTFLMAO.. and NO nuts.. like that gelding Llama you bought for breeding
purposes.. huh Sgt. Bedwetter..

 

it IS some fun to follow along this stupid saga,
a stupid side vs. a reasonable side to the plot.
i wonder how many have decided which is the stupid
one, and which is the reasonable one.
I for one ain't touchin that one w/ a 10 foot pole.
not on this board anyway.

lmao.. Well hell.. that's one helluva deal.. Haven't you ever
heard the one about "No guts.. No glory".. ??? Nah.. I usually
try to keep the good guys separated from the rest of it.. My
little spats mostly just belong to me, anyway.. Enjoy..

''I think he's been around the newsgroups for a while, Bjay.. <grin> May
be ol'Texdays again, for all I know.. Just kiddin' wit'cha..



Being the ''ratings and stats mgr'' on this
group, I cannot recall ever reading anything by Chornbe around
here...(not that there's anything wrong with that; Seinfeld, 1994)

Well Mr. j,take advantage of the entertaining moment here, because
usually we are sorta boring around here, talking about ''Riding
motorcycles'' of all thangs.

But now and then, one of our regulars will share an unpleasant
expereince with the other cyber friendlies on here.

When one shares stuff on here, they want some opinions. (what's wrong
with that?)

But, Mike came on and I'll be darn, this thang enlarged by leeps and
bounds.

Quite exciting, frankly. bjay

 

Well now, i wasn't there, but in my mind it plays out as something that
coulda been handled that day in the shop had everyone had a half-ass
decent attitude. Having done a management type job where i had to deal
with people on a daily basis, I'ld say a person who doesn't act like a
dick is more likely to leave with a satisfactory resolution than one
that does. Not that that particularly exhonerates (had to borrow BJay's
Speak and Spell for that big word) Mike from a few of the posts he
made though.
But ya know, batteries go down for no apparent reason all the time.
Tires that looked good can suddenly look like shit if they are old and
suddenly somebody puts em to use (ask me how i know!). And sometimes
shit just happens. And the one picture i was bored enough to look at
looked a lot more like waterspots than mud. And Tuesday to come up with
$1500 cash doesn't sound like a cash flow problem, sounds like most
motorcycle shops are closed on Monday, and probably wouldn't keep that
kinda cash in the store anyway.
However, Mike shoulda probably quit while he was ahead with his postings.
Now we'll use another big word, from Stephen Colbert. Truthiness. I'ld
put the truthiness of this whole fucking thing somewhere around 60%,
with the grade being lowered with pretty much every post.
There, now i've stated my opinion on the whole thing, who wants to go
camping at Double Lakes next weekend? Think i'm gonna load up the Connie
with a bottle of Maker's Mark, a tent, and a fishing pole, and head
over, assuming i quit reading all this bullshit sometime soon and get
some stuff done around here. Speaking of which, does the ice sloshing in
a small igloo cause handling problems? Hate to drink my whiskey warm, it
seems rather uncouth.

 

Yep.. coulda been handled real smooth and easy, if there'd been anything
like professionalism involved in that mess.. One little statement like
"Calm
down Brian.. I'll get my insurance adjustor out here and we'll get the
damage
to this bike fixed up, real quick.. Sorry my guys let it get in this shape
and
we'll get 'er taken care of, as soon as possible".. Knowing Brian.. I'd give
odds that he'd still have been fuming while he looked at his messed up
motorcycle, but the situation wouldn't have escalated .. Knowing Mike
Thompson.. and his own report of the incident.. he contributed to the anger
of Brian with his own responses and denying the bike was messed up or
damaged.. All the postings and posturing that Mike Thompson has done
on this newsgroup.. after the fact, has only brought more public attention
to the mess..

I'm not a drinker, but if I was in the area, I'd probably join you
lakeside..
I've got a bottle of the best damned tequila that was ever corked.. Came
right from the plant in .. of all places.. Tequila, Jalisco.. Pure.. aged to
perfection and bottled for special distribution to Embassys, Consullates
and other high powered locations.. This stuff is smooth, personified..
hmmm.. Don't need ice or anything to enjoy.. just cool it and sip..

Bill Walker

 

Bjay, Up here with an unusually unNormal TOP POST-
==Say Mr. Bennet: (For your information). Your commentary below is your
all time longest ''response'' here on this fine motoNG. And may I say,
I agree with 80% of it, including the drankin' whiskey part.
Thanksfor it.
