see thats the kind of stuff we dont need right there..chuck is a great guy/ and what i consider a personal friend of mine..and i even have trouble getting ahold of him most of the time..i husually never chime in on these things casue i just dont like getting involded in other peoples buisness. but that comment took it over the edge! chuck has helped just about every one i know out..he's sent stuff out to get paid for it a month or so later...i've seen him spend all day at freerides helping other people get thier boat running, and never get to ride himself that day..he made a set of footholds on short notice for me once with pins in his wrist and in extreme pain..but he knew i needed them..he gave me a carb last year at wave rave that he needed for a motor before he could sell it and let me keep it till i had to sell my ski..and waited for a few months before i brought it back to him..told him i was sorry i kept it for so long..his response no problem...when i did get rid of my ski he called me and told me if i needed money that bad i should have come to him and asked to borrow it before i sold my ski..then told me that whenever i wanted to go out and ride i was more than welcome to come borrow his for the day..his intentions are always good..and i doubt if he's gonna air his side of the story in this thread, even tho it could probally clear some things up..he's just not that way..he wont keep this pissing situation up. i'm sure if someone was considering a motor build and called him and asked him about this situation he'd be more than happy to set them straight on what happened..i rode one of his 4mm strokers at pitt pass this year and i can vouche that motor rips!!..sorry for the novel but these are just a few of the things i've expierienced with chuck..and i assure you he's here for the sport and to help people out..definatlly not just to try and screw people over and take thier money.
I dont doubt that you and others have had nice experiences with Chuck. To be honest I gave him the benefit of the doubt for a very long time. He has made absolutely no attempt to help, in any way shape or form, my situation. I believe that to bad business. When I emailed chuck to see if he was willing to help out he said this
My initial email---
Chuck,
Art is currently shipping my re-built motor to me. While he didnt charge me
labor and was very fair on parts it still ended up costing me $408 with
shipping. I am hopeful that you will make some attempt at rectifying the
situation. I am a very fair person and felt like I was taken advantage of.
The product and service that I paid for (per your advertised deal) is not what I received.
Regards,
Michael Widdes
Chucks Response
After your big letter in on the x, i'll get right on it. good luck!
Now you tell me what your stand on a situation like this would be if you went through the grief and agravation that I did. And I must admit that my email that followed his (which I deleted) was not pretty by any means.
