The cost of honor? it's $60

[Old Gringo]

Welcome and happy trails. Sorry about your "problem." It's hard to believe he reneged on only $60 or any amount, for that matter. Not all Vietnam vets are great. I was in a Marine infantry unit in VN back in 1966 - 1967. I'm not a renegger, but I am a pervert. We all can't be perfect.

First Rookie Question, do Rocket parts internationally go together?

Yes, but since your in Cali or anywhere else in the USA you should order you parts from Any at NCY

Not to steal anything from the other places listed but you will probably get a better price from Andy. He always answers his e-mails when you send him one send the vin number with it.

Oh and the guy is already experiencing Karma. After all he is stuck on a Hardley and had to go with three wheels

Hello @ElAyRocket and welcome from VA. I have been there both in and out of uniform and though not always a good day, wouldn't trade that for anything. I hope the insurance works and he comes to his senses at some point in life.

Piss Poor .. as a vet and a fellow rider .. hope that turd looses sleep over his choice. Welcome.

That about says it all for me right there!

Thank you for your service to our troops. I wasn't in the sandbox, but was a tanker some 40+ years ago.

Welcome from another Aussie. Bad luck that your R3 experience started like it has. It will get better.

Short story, I was 8 years in the Mid-east working and by the end of 2013 i'm gonna buy my "came back to the states bike", always wanting a Rocket, but picked up a HD on Repo at an unbeatable price. Came home, rode the HD for 2 years but found my R3 here in SoCal with 1663 miles and I get it on the spot 2 weeks ago.
Next day, at the Rock Store, 4 ft from Jay Leno, the R3 is hit while parked by a HD trike. the ol feller riding it admitted he was wrong, gave me his card, said sorry.
I emailed days later asking for $60 for the bent clutch lever, while i ignored the scratches elsewhere. He replied my parked bike was in his way, it's my fault, no $60.

Now, this Vietnam Vet had every patch on his vest, true-blue patriot, very proud of his service (I was too, 8 years working on US bases in Iraq/AFG), but for the low cost of $60, I feel he threw away his honor (in my eyes) and told him so.

Had the bike 22 hrs before he dropped it, but it has it's scars now and I love every minute.

Patches for anything are easy to come by. I'd assume that as*hole is one of many who pretend to be Vietnam Vets.

Welcome! I sure hope you dont think that all Veterans are represented by people like that. I am a Desert Shield/Storm Vet USAF, and that guys actions are LAME.

ElAyRocket since you have his email address send him this thread. Let the words of your Rocket Comrades and Veterans burn his conscience.

Wrecka: Just for you. To all Virgins - Thanks for nothing. To all Veterans - Thanks for everything.
