Yammer Dan Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Loaned out my spare TCI at Ashville bout 3 yrs ago to dude with non-running bike. Bike ran great with my TCI!! He was going to replace as soon as possible. This is one of the reasons I don't get into the parts thing big time here. I bought these bikes with hard earned money to do something with. Seems everytime I give a part away or loan one I get screwed. Guy with TCI hasn't been on here since 9/16/12. Never let me know anything. Give a good part to someone I thought was friend and guy screws me on something else. Can't call those friends. Just had to let it off a little. Those that know me and have a need know where I am.
Snaggletooth Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry to hear that Dan. Sometimes things don't go like we hope for. Hate to see it happen between members.

DragonRider Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Dan if I had a spare one you would be welcome to it, but I dont think that would let me off the hook for what you thought I did wrong.

Peder_y2k Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 When I encounter those kind of situations, I ask for a deposit up front, then refund on return. Lost too many good tools using 'trust'. With deposit, everything has come back. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '88VR
Yammer Dan Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 I trusted someone to act as I would. He was broke down at one of our meets. Took him at his word. Most can't spell ethics anymore.
Kirby Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Dan, I hear you. If I had one I'd give it to you man. Sorry to hear things like this.
Yammer Dan Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks Kirby. I'm really not in need of it at this time. I was just thinking about it. Best early one I had. I gave it to him with the understanding it was a loan. I guess he has left. I can get along without it. It just seems I get burnt every time I deal with the human race any more. I do have a few parts.
dacheedah Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Agreed, it's a respect thing. If you are shown love, you show love back and it's all good. I only hope they had a lapse and return the favor with an apology and a token of good will.
