ok jim question for u.
now , pretend u have been reading some kids posts,
& its apparent he cant fix his own scoot.
then he comes and asks for help because hes fixing his "buddies" scoot, for money. then it changes to some riding buddy, then it changes to just some guy.
BUT
he needs the help NOW because he charged this guy to fix it
and the guy is coming to get it.
what ur opinion now ?
i guess im old fashioned
i have morals & ethics
& that is just wrong.
but again i dont care you all do w/e u want
o btw ask alleyoop he read all the 1st threads the guy posted.
before he deleted the posts about charging the "guy". Since you asked me a direct question I will give you a direct answer. I would help him if I could. I am old, old fashioned to a point, have morals and ethics, but I don't think what he did/didn't do is wrong. I will explain my rational. Beyond what I said above. No matter if you are new at something or been at it for years, we all need help once and awhile. I have had competitors call me for advice and have given it to them, some in the same area, some close to me and others far away. Did they make money off of may advice? Yes they did. Did I make money off of someones Else's advice? Yes I have. I do this because I have been there, had an issue with a customers machine that I just can't figure out and need help from someone else. And yes both the competitor and I are charging the customer to fix their machine. I have a competitor ( automotive side) 6 miles away and we are always bouncing ideas off of each other. Not one person can know it all. If there is I haven't met them yet. Jim/Owner Rapid Repair |

When I was in my mid teens in the mid 1960s I had a Honda 150 Dream. It was all I could afford as I was living on my own going to school 1/2 day and working 1/2 day. Across the street was a gas station where a few old school Harley riders hung out. They took me under their wing and helped me with my bike when I had no extra money and very little knowledge. If it was not for their help I would have been in a world of hurt for sure. Maybe that's why I probably would help.

I think everyone is missing the point why nobody would help the kid out.
#1. The KID does not know anything or how to fix anything( not a problem many do not know).
#2. His FRIEND AND RIDING BUDDY has a problem with his scoot.
#3. He Tells his FRIEND AND RIDING BUDDY he will fix it for $50.00 Bucks.
#4. He comes on and describes the problem(which by the way is really an easy fix from he said happens). And says to hurry up with the fix and how-to so he can collect the $50.00 bucks.
(Friends like that I and I am sure others do not need or want and I really think the KID needs a lesson on how NOT to screw your friends).

If I had been on that "other" forum where this happened I would have told him to send his friend here and both of them sit down read and learn. Being almost 70 I have run into way too many of the some thing for nothing a holes and those just waiting to screw the next guy. The chances are way better that this "mechanic" is going to screw his friends scooter up than it is to actually repair it. john

My .02 Alleyoop I might be missing the point since I did not read the original thread that you are talking about. As with many threads, the whole picture is not stated and things are missing. Maybe there is more to the story about the money aspect, who knows. I stand by what I said about helping him, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise. Jim |
