this seems pretty weird. eric ported a kx85 cylinder for me about a month ago. he told me it would take 3 weeks and it was actually less than that. when i first called him about it he answered the phone, as he always does. after a few weeks he contacted me to let me know that it was on the way. 2 days later it was here. have you left a message with him? is his business line still working??

[endofitall9]

everytime I call it says this line is not accepting calls or something like that but before that I left tons of messages along with emails and posted in his forum at dirtrider.net and still no answer. its kind of a bummer cause I have no way of contacting him to see what is going on. Also you know how the UPS can be about releasing info if you've ever had a problem with them.

I Talked to Eric Almost 3  weeks ago and he said my cylinders should be in that friday well it came and passed along with a couple other fridays and still no cylinders. I have been trying to call him now for 1 week and have wrote numerous emails and posted on dirtrider.net with no answer and today I found out that he stopped taking work early so he could get out of dodge anyway The UPS always fucks shit up around here and cant find the house. just today I had to drive 45 miles to go pick up my shiftstar that boonman cut for me cause they couldnt find my house. with that being said if my cylinders did get lost in the mail and Eric isn't taking emails phonecalls or anything of the sort how in the fuck do I get my cylinders back?? anyone live near forward motion?

if you get hold of Eric and he says he shipped them get tracking #

ups can tell you where the clds were shipped to if UPS lost ups

will replace if they lost them.

when I talked to him he said for me to be expecting them that friday it was on a monday around 10:30 when i talked to him or something. I said thanks for your time blah blah blah..........no tracking number and now I' can't get ahold of him i guess in a way it's due to my ignorance not trying to get a tracking number but still 2 months..........

Although I first stated that the shop would stop accepting work on April 29, I've moved that up to right now. We just have too much work and we want to clear it out in time for the move. If you need any of the type of work that we offer, here are some recommendations on alternatives.

 

DRN member Pete Payne runs Heavy Duty Racing and is located in the mid-Atlantic state of Virginia tel. (540) 659-6994 Pete offers engine and suspension work for late model dirt bikes.

 

DRN member wes Gilbert owns Boyesen Precision Porting up in New England in Windsor CT. Wes does all sorts of cool stuff with dirt bikes and shifter karts. give him a call at (860) 269-3736

 

Pro Action, headquartered in Beaver Falls PA. offers complete mail order engine service and you can call DJ at (724) 846-9055

 

Theres lots of talented mechanics out there and I'm sure if you look hard in your local area you might find someone into dirt bikes too.

 

The reason for our premature closing is that my mom Carolyn is near the end of her battle with esophogeal cancer. My sister Carrie and I are proud that we can afford our mom the luxury of dying at home in her own bed. But that doesn't come without sacrifices of time and energy. So I'm trading time answering questions about dirt bikes and doing mechanical work that your local dealers should do for you, in order to make my mom comfortable in her final hours.

 

So this is the last time that I'll respond to questions on this forum and eventually Okie will be asked to vanquish this whole forum.

 

Have a great summer of riding, Eric Gorr

let us know how it turns out...

[endofitall9]

Well...... I got the cylinders today , and I have to say these things look awesome I can't wait to get everything back together. Eric made good on his side for taking so long, he gave me a free bore job and honed them up for free. They have been in since the 25th but as usual UPS fucked up and couldn't find the house so I had to go get them. That's getting old anyway just wanted to make good on his name. Don't ever want to bash someone that doesnt deserve it. later on guys

Glad to here it all worked out in the end. Sounds like he took care of you. Too bad we have to lose a good guy to work on things but when stuff like that comes at ya you have make sacrafices.

[jeepman137]

so maybe im missing something or am just confused, dont bash me for asking because this is the first time ive read about this... is eric done for good? or is he moving and then starting up again? whats actually going on? i understand his mother is dying...

[DIRTMAN350]

Sounds like he is done for good from what i gather. I could be wrong though.

[platinumjason]

From what I've heard he is going across the pond and working for another shop once he gets there.

[tithead]

indeed he is.... he will be in england. not too sure on the shop he will be working in though.

[endofitall9]

from what I have learned from his old forums on dirtrider.net is he is just going to munik I think for some short time he will be doing work over there at one of his friends shops but he will return to the states. He and one of his buddies will be opening a shop and they already have everything put together to open this shop upon his return. so as of what he says he hasn't left the states for good but just for short time and will return sometime in the future...............
