Doing so after typing this. Big BF literally saved my Inzane trip, front bearings started squealing after our last fuel stop before ground zero. He had and installed the bearings for my 97 Tourer, saving me from a huge headache and likely a special order from a nearby Honda dealer. After seeing his reasonable charge, I just had to have him throw on the quads as well!
I think if those who are inclined can throw even a little bit his way, a little will go a long way.
Done. Worked with my Android tablet.

Nogrey, I agree with you in every respect except, "he is one of us". Anybody that would do that truly isn't one of us. He may be a member, he may go to Inzane, he may even ride Valkyries. But I wouldn't say he's one of us. He is a scum. I don't understand the psychology of stealing from someone but I do know he is someone I wish to have NO association with. I actually think Willow had the best idea to help remedy the situation. Purchase products or services from our member in GREAT standing BigBF. Done. Have never met BF & yet to have the pleasure of making it to Inzane. But I have purchased his kit for the V-Stacks. I can deal with the rancor of some threads. I can deal with the baiting from trolls. But I cannot and will not tolerate a thief. Especially anyone disguised as a Valkyrie rider & member of this board. |

Wow, stealing at Inzane, sheesh! And quad-horn sets? They're not something that's easily palmed or just drops into a pocket. An inside job or overnight theft by locals perhaps? I struggle with accepting that a VRCC'r would do this. I guess I'm still in denial stage.  |

You know, it could have been hotel staff. Nobody saw any of the crimes being committed, so we don't really know it was a club member. I'd rather believe that instead of looking at each other suspiciously at the next gathering. And, if it was a member, and they've read this thread, I doubt it will happen again now that they know someone will be watching. Still sucks, but will always be there for you Bill. Your products that I've bought are quality and have never failed and you've helped my buddy OSS out several times, which indirectly helps me out as well (getting home).  |

I actually think Willow had the best idea to help remedy the situation. Purchase products or services from our member in GREAT standing BigBF. You know, you're absolutely right. Someone else made a comment (like myself, probably out of indignation for what happened to Bill) "trust no one". My thought was that the reason I enjoy being a part of this group is because of the ability to trust. I've not had a single bad experience with a person on this board regarding trust. I've purchased a lot of items from the classifieds and feel that I have always received fair and honest treatment. I even had one fellow send me a part I wanted. Wouldn't take my money until he was sure that I was satisfied (which I was). THAT is the kind of people this club is made up of. One or two bad apples will always be present in any group. It's sometimes difficult to not let that taint your opinion of the whole group. I agree with others. Donate to Bill, and buy his products. Perhaps as a group we can overturn any loss he may have experienced. |

I agree Nogrey. I've had nothing but positive experiences with our members. I'm holding out hope it wasn't someone from the valkyrie community. |

..... My thought was that the reason I enjoy being a part of this group is because of the ability to trust....
My thoughts exactly. Trust is paramount I groups like ours where we all ride separate vehicles relatively tight together in large groups. Hearing this news shatters that trust and even thinking that BigBF may have to take actions to protect his interests really bites. I just hope the dirt bag, who is responsible for this, is reading this thread and I hope there is not more than one... BTW, I was able to make a donation using an IPad... |

My donation was sent around 3:00 AM.
Got a response from Bill on it this morning.
Glad to help the Gentleman out.
He stopped by the house one year and did a bunch of work on MGM when I didn't have time.
Talk about reasonable rates, you got to believe his rates were lower than any where else I could have gone, and I knew the work was done correctly.

I hope and PRAY the low life scum sucking sumbitch of a rhoid whose parentage is seriously in doubt is NOT of the Valkyrie Community.  And IF the rhoid is a V R C C member I PRAY I wasn't too close while breaking bread or riding near the low life. Again-IF-you are a member-man or woman up and then leave our community. I'm still stunned that the scoundrel "MIGHT" be a member!  As has been stated-Bill IS a stand up guy. I've dealt with members of this Community on TRUST buying and selling. Up until Bill's sad encounter I've had no reason to doubt any one here. I would REALLY like to have that continue-NO DOUBT.  The VERY fact it happened-has happened-makes one wonder and makes me wonder.  RIDE SAFE. |

Bill has saved my bacon not only at several Inzanes but also in Arizona, his home base Great idea nogrey Oss, everyone, Bill posted on Facebook over the weekend and several folks asked him if he wouldn't mind setting up a donation site. He reluctantly complied. I looked for a similar posting here and didn't see one. So, not really my idea, just sharing a worthwhile one. Thanks to those who give. |

I read all of your comments, I really do appreciate that. I do still love to work on Valkyries. I like to travel and work on Valkyrie just to make sure all Valkyries is still alive... I hate to see someone want to sell Valkyrie bec those machine are the best ever and not like any of old motorcycles... I know we will worry about the parts available, its going to be sucks if there no more part available from Honda. I'm starting to see more discontinued in part fiches. I'm sure some of us can always figure out and what to make it work as long as we can... Today I am going down to Dallas to pick up Valkyrie and trailer then work on three Valk there then back here in Tulsa and I have 4-5 more Valk coming over here to work on Valkyrie. Thank Gawd for my dad's shop that I built for him and has A/C in shop yah! My parents and I have been discussing on going trip to MD to see my brother in September, I have not see him since chemo in 2012, I know he's doing good so far and improving but there are side effect and immunities wrecked sometimes. He is still struggle to keep going. He tried to get time off to come here but his boss cancel his vacation time and had big new project so he's stuck with his work. That's why we will go up there to see him on couple weekend. I know for sure one guy will arrest me and work on both of his Valkyrie for few days LoL! Have a great day.... |
