Hi again.

Hi again.
I’m back, after a long absence.
It’s been more than a couple of years.
I got married 3 years ago, and bought a second house last summer with my wonderful wife and the good news is that I have some space to work.
Yesterday morning, I picked up about 500lbs of RZ350 parts. I still have 12 RZs. Now with the space I’ll be able to catalogue parts and assemble projects to sell off. Now I bet you’re paying attention. Lol
I’ll try to log in on a regular basis. It’s going to take me a while to catch up and get acquainted again.
Update on me. I’m wrenching for one of the best Ducati service centres in Canada. I currently have a 749 which I will be selling, a 749 with a 999 power plant and an ST2. My RZs are waiting for me. It’s time to get back at them.

Re: Hi again.
Hi Rory. Nice to see you back (again). I'm finishing up one now (click on the link in my signature) and have several more lined up. Fun stuff. Ken

Re: Hi again.
Hey Ken, I have been watching your garage posts. It was 6 years ago now that I dropped by your place. Time flies. I have been so busy and so have you. Lol.

Re: Hi again.
Thanks. I forget names, it’s been about 5 years. It will take a while.
Can anyone tell me or direct me to a thread that can instruct me how to post pics from my phone?
Last pics I posted were from my computer, now long gone.

Re: Hi again.
Thanks Evans!
You’ll see a lot more of me. I’m on a mission. Been waiting a while for this.
I’m still trying to figure out how to post pics. Nothing is working for me on my phone, yet.

Re: Hi again.
Hi Rory,
Welcome back. I have not figured out how to upload from the phone - but I have had success with using https://imgur.com/ to post pictures to this forum.
It's only one at a time but does work pretty well. See details in pic...

Re: Hi again.
Hey Wade, thank you.
Not working with AirTECH anymore. I sent them full bodywork for an F2 to copy, including tank. There are key components that are in high demand: tank, tail centre section and upper fairing which is shared by the RZ500. The owner, Kent, said to me that he does not have the stuff that I sent to him. “It was sent back”. I never was informed it was coming, nor did I receive it. I’ve lost my shipping fees which was closer to $500 than not, and of course the full bodywork set for one of my bikes. Zero compensation. A full set of bodywork for an RZ350 is north of $2,500 Canadian from AirTECH, and the loss of my original set. You know how expensive that is.
I was dealing with Walter who confirmed receiving it all, and I believe AirTECH now mysteriously offers the reproduction RZ500 upper. Walter left AirTECH shortly after I sent the goods.
Kent told me that he had decided not to make the F2 bodywork and tank, which was news to me.
I did talk to another guy there and wanted to order 5 F2 gas tanks, lined. They won’t answer my calls. I’m disappointed to say the least. Kent had told me I’d receive a set of bodywork as a fee for loaning him the bodywork. I’m still waiting. Crickets.
I love their products, but I’m extremely disappointed with them. I have always spoken highly of them and continue to send them business. I am in their records as Grumpy Lui Racing. I wish that they’d man up and and complete the business transaction that we arranged. I’d like my bodywork back as well as the compensation set. I’d still like to order 5 tanks. It would be nice if Kent or his employees saw this and would get in touch with me to finish the deal that we had agreed on.
I am Facebook friends with Kent.

Re: Hi again.
Yeah, it hurts. I’m not wealthy, but I’ll keep trying to deal with them. There are a lot of miles between us, so that does not make it any easier.
