It's mocking a self-crippled ****bag in another group - a group you
don't follow.

You didn't dispute what I wrote: that you have a completely
disassembled British "motorcycle" in boxes or crates, and without any
doubt missing several essential parts, and you will *never* get it put
back together. It has been in the boxes or crates for decades, and
that's where it will be when you croak, unless you've lost possession of
them. This is a certainty.

It will *never* be reassembled into an operating motorcycle as long as
Wieber is in possession of the crates of parts. Everyone knows this. I
wouldn't even bet anything that Wieber still has all the crates of parts.

He has an affinity for associating with lowlifes who relieve him of
his crap. Exhibit A: the dead transmission from his "motorhome," which
has gone walkabout. On the plus side, that should lead to a good fable
about scaring the perp into giving it back. LOL

Ever watch the TV show American Pickers?

Guys have dozens of barn crammed with old cars and bikes.

Some will never see restoration until sold.

This is neither uncommon nor some nominal sin.

Get over yourself.

Huh?

Who or what do YOU know?


I know that I worked at learning to fix my own stuff, so that I don't
have to pay others. I know that's one of the reasons I'm comfortable
in my retirement, instead of scrounging like dead-end Wieber. I know
that if I did have to pay someone, I wouldn't choose any of Wieber's
lowlife friends, because duh! and because so many of his stories
involve "friends" ripping him off or letting him down. Of course, we
don't get to hear their side of the story. Which is probably that he
never pays or keeps his promises. We do have one first-person customer
story though. It's easily available on the web to any prospective
employers, and it's probably one of the reasons Wieber hasn't been
able to find a job in years of trying.

"Here is a little reminder of the sort of "sterling" person you are
form our
original public discussion.
Basically Gunner. You ****ed me.
I just didn't care.


His grinder is right where he left it.
He can pick it up at his leisure and the only reason it is here at all
is
that he left it so I could pay ONE OF MY GUYS to do a job I'd already
more
than paid him in full , in advance and on his word that he'd finish
up, to
do.
He also said he'd pick it up on one of his many trips through the
area.

You can toodle on by for him if that's his wish but I'm not spending
another
nickle on the welfare queen.

He was using it to clean up a piece of junk that I bought from him.
Getting it going was part of the deal if I'd buy brushes for the
traction
motor - the only thing he said he'd need.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
$500 dollars worth of parts later and the thing is still a rusted out
piece
of useless crap.

As for his "prowess" as an electrical trouble shooter, I picked up a
complete service manual with all of the electrical diagrams and his
"Fix"
for the failed components was to bypass the fuses - TO THE CHARGING
CIRCUIT - and baste everything in PB Blaster. There wasn't anything
wrong
with the charging circuit. The batteries he had cobbled together were
****.
I picked up a set from Big Joe and, miracle of miracles, the relay's
and
solenoinds suddenly started working. It was pretty obvious at that
point
that his real skill is bull ****ting. A ten year old could have made
perfect
sense of the electrical drawings but not Gunner.

What he seemed to have a handled on was smoking my cigarrettes, and
guzzling
energy drinks like a speed freak when he wasn't downing Mountain Dew
or
beating his dog.

Frankly, I felt sorry for him so I stuck an extra couple hundred in
cash in
his hands and bid him on his way. I needed my helper back to do what I
pay
him for and it didn't look to me that Gunner would get his job done
regardless the time or money allowed.
At that point, he offered to leave his POS grinder so my guys could
finish
his work. I said no, but he persisted and when he agreed to pick the
thing
up on one of his trips through the area, I relented. I just wanted the
guy
on his way.

John R. Carroll"

Very true. Except Wieber insists he WILL be doing those
restorations... someday, even though it's been decades and he's now in
a worse position than ever. It ain't gonna' happen. He knows it,
everybody with any common sense knows it. He has neither the money or
the skill or the motivation. He will keep talking about it as though
somebody might believe him because he thinks most readers are as dumb
as you. But even the dumbest of the knuckledraggers know better. Which
makes you the dumbest of all.

My critic, lots of cool bikes but most of the pictures didn't show
enough of the bike detail.
Worst of all, only one chic, what kind of motorcycle pictures are those!
Sheesh.
