BoB bertaut the once well known member of this xs650 community

to build a 750 277 rephased engine and got excuses for 12 months
I even sent him a club tshirt
now he doesn't answer calls emails etc
and it seems I,m not the only one so if your waiting for something from BOB

yep,
apparently the sneaky bastard has even be sending people the same bulk email explanations when they have requested whats happening
even to the point same photos of how far he was with there motor!!
theres another aussie i have just heard from since i posted
who hasnt heard from him who's in for $3200 USD for 750 rephased motor as well
I think that guy better get a lawyer quick
even his own forum site is going off about where there parts are
i have a rolling chassis that I have sunk money and time waiting for
an engine that looks like isnt going to arrive

I'm not rich i worked hard for that cash and that &*%%$ arse hole
is better of from the sweat of my back
he is bloody lucky I don't live on the same continent
in fact anyone know any good lawyers in new orleans ?

I was dumb enough to send him a club Tshirt because I thought he was doing a good job

I even donated to WWW.XS650 when he was in dire straights after
the hurricane a couple years ago

You mean you donated to 650motorcycles.com Not to www.xs650.com. the XS650.com site and forum is not Bob's site. Wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea.

I read where a guy ripped somebody off online and the other guy called the police in his town and the police went and arrested him. Easy Peasy.
