What to do
What to do
It has been almost 7 years since I have last seen them. The agreementfor my 65th birthday was to have the 74 Restored and I would give the 76 to the mechanic.
Called the shipper, and he ferried both bikes to Washington State where the Mechanic started a newsupervisor job and a dealership. His vision was to have time during the evening and weekend to work on them andit would take a year.
One year led to another and another, another move back to Az, another date promised. Another job change, another date promised, and more sad stories.
Now, the restoration now sits in boxes of parts, the engine case is painted black, and all the new parts are notso new any longer. I haven't seen the bikes since they rolled into the shipper's truck, plus boxes of parts.
A threat earlier this year to report them stolen now has built a fire to get the parts back to me this week. It was supposedto be last week.
I have lost my passion for the 90s, at 74 my riding years on a 90s is no longer possible.
I have a Heinrich and a regular tank, freshly painted. The cockpit, fenders, and 3/4 seat are all painted.
I weighed my options. Sell as a package, build on, and/or part out a little at a time.
Re: [R90SWORLDNET] What to do
Very sorry to hear of this sad saga, and that you did not get to enjoy this
restoration!
I have recently had my 75SS repainted and plan for a few more years of good
riding. I would be interested in the Heinrich tank as well as your seat if
you want to part these out.
Best regards,

Re: What to do
No doubt you want to recoup as much money as you can. Hopefully you can do it in such a way that you also recoup some of the mental and emotional energy this person cost you as well.
Or, buy a keg or two, a pile of bar-b-q, and announce a tech day! Or 4-5 tech days.
And whoever this person is, I’d out them. Too often I see where people have a bad experience yet do not feel comfortable naming the incompetent person.
Re: [R90SWORLDNET] What to do
Maybe I will have the motors and transmission built and slowly put one together.
Re: [R90SWORLDNET] What to do
That would be great if you still want one to ride.
Where are you located, as I am sure some one in the group can direct you to
a more reliable mechanic who is close to your location.
