[bigdogtech01]

waiting for a tow-truck................

good luck man !

Franco , just call in one of those helicopter gunships that you like so much. It would probably be safer than a tow truck. :lol: Good luck on the repair.

Sorry to hear your Dog shutdown.

At some point, we may all agree that if it is electrical, it will fail one day. Maybe sooner but hopefully later when it doesn't matter. Maybe one system is better than another. In my opinion, you can have an EHC, WP, Thunderheart, Harley, RIP, etc and someone is going to have a problem. And, when they do, there will be frustration and cursing! :bang:

But in a way, although hard, I wish we could just post our problems and how we fixed it without saying one system is a POS over another.

PS Franco, I would've come picked you up with my Droptail trailer but you are just too far away

I'll see if I can get you a Mi-8 sent over to pick you up next time.

The ONLY one in Sweden who I have said did me wrong was Dragan!! No one else!! And what do you mean all the truth is not being told?? No one from Sweden has given a statement because I believe they don't want to make enemies with anyone. That does not mean I'm making this up!! What would I have to gain in that Curtis??

No one is claiming anything about you or what you are saying only that you are blowing it way out of proportion and not telling the full truth as you did with Dragan over the rotor and stator that I sold him. He had no choice at the time but to believe what you were telling him about the situation only to find out later that had you simply done what I suggested the rotor would have fit fine and if he had rotor failure again he could have easily purchased a rotor locally instead of being locked into a proprietary rotor that you then sold him after you convinced him to cancel his order with me. I've sold many rotors and stators with only a couple having that issue that then did the simple, non-damaging mod, I suggested to you that you refused to do, and have been perfectly happy. That instance is one of several reasons why I feel the whole truth is not being told.
Despite what you seem to be trying to convince forum members I'm no idiot, cheat or thief. I have owned 3 successful businesses and am now working on my fourth.

As far as answering your questions, no I have not worked on any KMW bikes because there was and has been only ONE sold here in the US...hello!! You have it in your garage now working on it. He purchased it brand new how many months ago and has only been out on it twice due to the fact it will not stay running Why has Raywood not replied to this??

Exactly, YOU have not worked on or ridden a single KMW. So what qualifies you to speak about them as you did earlier? What was the purpose of that statement other than to be intentionally hurtful.
You are correct Ray's KMW is in my "Shop" having warranty work done and the final issue is being resolved with S&S. Oh my god that must mean S&S is shit and their in on the scam with the rest of us low life cheating thieves.

And as far as you knowing more about BDM's than I?? :roll::roll:

And here in lies your problem "EGO". Show me anywhere on this forum where I have claimed to "Know" more than anyone about anything.

Who has helped you numerous times with getting the correct parts to sell?

Again with the ego. Uhm not you and damn sure not "Numerous times". Yes I've asked you about the Baker trans main shaft and I asked you about the stator you sold Dragan, which he didn't need, but that's it. I "had" a tremendous respect for you which I demonstrated by recommending people to you and letting people know that you had advanced skills with Big Dogs. I was attempting to foster a business relationship and you now use that to try and prove that your what somehow better than me.

A machinist who happens to own a Big dog? I have been repairing them for the last 9 years for customers and currently work on them almost every day....but you know more about them than I?

You know WAY less than you think you do and the above statement is proof of that.
Yeah, I'm an apprentice machinist among many other things. Self trained with the help of my 70 year old mentor who worked in the aerospace industry for 40 years. Been riding and wrenching on bikes and cars since I was seventeen. And, for your information, I have owned, ridden and worked on multiple Big Dogs since early 2003, let's see that would work out to be 11 years by my count. I have been working on Big Dogs on a regular basis for the last 2 years. I have customers that bring their BDs from out of state for me to work on them. Do I think I know it all? Absolutely not and I'm smart enough not to run around trying to convince people that I do. I can make new parts for Dogs right in my shop. Axles, steering stems etc. Can you? I can test and repair many of the electronics on a Big Dog i.e. right hand PCB boards. Can you? Of course I can do all the typical work as well as it isn't that difficult. Do you even own a Big Dog? I don't think I've seen you mention owning one. How many miles do you have on a Big Dog? I don't have near as many as I would like but its somewhere in the neighborhood of 75000.

And yes the Sweden thing is old news (2 months) but that does not mean people should be left in the dark about the real problems.

I agree with you on not leaving people in the dark but I don't agree with the approach you have taken here.
You could have just as easily posted about the difficulties you experienced one time and left it at that but your choice to expound on it and suck others into it and make baseless claims about people and vendors on this site clearly indicates that your intent here was not to just inform members but be spiteful and intentionally hurtful. Is it that hard for you to ease up and go back to being helpful and let all this shit go.

No one here has an ego greater than yourself. For the ones who actually know me, they would tell you I'm far from having an EGO.
As far as the Rotor you sold Dragan. I did NOT sell him one. I was 4000 miles away from home, how would I do that? You want your customers to grind out material from the inner primary of 05-up because you were selling the wrong stator and rotor assembly. I corrected you with pictures and part numbers and even sent your incorrect one back to you (I paid shipping) and now you make this bull shit up!!!
You took this helpful thread and twisted it around completely by saying "it sounds like I have a personal problem." Then all your boyfriends join in on the conversation and tell nothing but lies.
Working on a couple big dogs here and there in your garage does not give you more experience than I.
No I do not own a big dog. However, I have worked on literally thousands of customers bikes. Have flown to the BDM factory 4 times to attend all the training classes. Have been to Europe the last 2 years to repair them.
As far as building/machining parts, yes I actually have a number of years as a machinist along with having a certification in MIG/TIG welding.
You have had 4 successful business? So where are they today? Still running? If not why did they shut down?
You and your boyfriends opened this can of worms.....
Maybe we should here Sheldon's view on all this

 

[KaptinAmerika]

Yep, just as I thought

You nothing but a tool

[KaptinAmerika]

The only can of worms I see here is your piss poor behavior.

:loony::bang:

 

[Biker Babe]

Please guys, there is nothing wrong with different sides, different experiences, different opinions...but this attacking stuff is not necessary, it's not making anyone look good, and it makes me very sad.

It is sad, and there is a lesson to be learned here for everyone. When buying a product from KMW, WSW, or Bigdogpartsking and you happen to have some concerns about it....??? Don't let anyone else know, because you will only be ridiculed for telling the truth!!! They seem to have a following of people that extend all the way over to Sweden, that will go to no end of covering up the truth...In the end, they will need people like myself before I need them....The End

 

[KaptinAmerika]

Wow
And I'm the one with the ego
Your a tool and your the last person I or my business will ever need help from.

The true end.
