Macmatic the deadbeat o-ring guy

[o-ringbandit]

Thats me and I'm here to try and make things right with anyone who got burned in that fiasco. I apologize to all but I've had about a year where I had little to no internet access, no computer access, no ebay or paypal access and very little access to anything at all. FYI any money sent to me via paypal is still in that account and if you filed a dispute you got a refund when my lack of response timed out, at least thats my understanding.

Admin, I expect this account to be banned too but I hope you'll leave this message up for a little while or append the gist of it to my deadbeat alert.

If I owe you money and/or o-rings please contact me at macmatic@gmail.com for a refund and/or your o-rings. If you would like a set of o-rings (previous orders only! I'm not selling ANY) please be sure to mention your year and model of GS amidst the flames.

Billy Ricks, I hope you got your second set, the first ones did come back here eventually.

Finally I apologize to anyone who had stress or more importantly lost riding time over this.

Sincerely,
Dan Young AKA /\/\acmatic

Never got any of them Dan. It's been so long I don't no if I got a refund through Paypal or not, I guess I could research it but it doesn't matter at this point.

Hopefully things are better for you and you're allowed to stick around.

Dan,

Kudos to you for having the "nads" to come back, apologize, and try to make things right with the people you wronged!

Good luck with it! If you set things straight with everybody (as you seem to be trying to do) I suspect there will be plenty of forgiveness to come back your way. I remember your screen name, but don't remember if I was even aware that "stuff" had happened. I'll echo Billy's remarks that I hope things are going better for you and continue to do so.

Again, thanks for putting yourself out there and being willing to try and dig yourself out of the hole and back into the good graces of the GSR.

Regards,

He's makin' it right and this is a forgiving bunch, I think. Can we get somebody to un-ban his previous name?

That would be Frank.

BTW Dan, do you still have that beautiful bike of yours?

[o-ringbandit]

Thanks for the words of support guys.... it was never my intention to leave anyone hanging in the first place so I figure the least I can do is try and track people down. Fortunately I've got emails of all the old paypal transactions at least so it hasn't been too hard to contact people...and I've got an asbestos monitor cozy now so I'm doing ok with the replies!

I'd love to stick around and better yet get Macmatic back but we'll have to see how that does.

Billy, yep I've still got the bike. Going over the forks, carbs and changing the chain now since it developed a leaky seal and sat for a bit. I've got some plans for that bike and another project thats been hanging around but I'll get into those once I'm off the "ship" list.... (Oh yeah, check your PM)

Its good to be back, I hope I can stay!

If you need a few of us to put in a good word for you with Frank just let us know.

Well, I have no complaint. I received my O-rings, and the extra bolts. Everything came in good time and ready for installation....and then I misplaced the package.


They are still around somewhere, and I will find them, but meanwhile the Bandit is getting some road time....just over 1000 miles last week. :-D:-D

Anyone who stands up and admits fault, and then makes things right for all concerned I believe deserves another chance.

I have removed the ban on the MacMatic account. It's good to see that you are trying to square things up. You are to be applauded for trying to make things right. Thanks!

[Macmatic]

The Mac is back!

Thanks for all the support guys, it really means a lot to me! And thanks most of all to Frank for un-banning this account and for keeping the TGSR going.

Its great to be back and I'm looking forward to helping out where I can and learning something new with every login.

Once again, if anyone feels I owe them a refund or o-rings please send me mail here or at macmatic@gmail.com and I'll take care of you ASAP. (Billy, you've got two sets going out this weekend.)

Welcome back! Thanks for getting me involved with this group, it eats up about 1 hr a day now. When you coming North?:-D

Casper!

Only an hour a day and two GS's in the garage? Thats some weak sauce man... <grin>

Thank YOU for getting me involved in this site by dropping that untitled wreck of an GS750ES off in my driveway years ago. I wonder what Tim would think if he saw it now?

North? You mean to visit or when am I getting out of the dirty South? I'm planning a run up there in the Fall around turkey time to see family and such and there should definitely be an overnight Chez Harding. As for moving.... I might try out Athens, GA in the not too distant future but I'm really kind of longing for the Portland, OR area.

I'll give you a call soon and we can catch up. Good to hear from ya and I'm glad you're still on the GS. Is the other one for the Mrs?
