Even though this is just the internets and I've never met you Trucker, I've been following your build and products since you picked up your Superhawk. Like LineArray, I would love to see you make parts for this and other motorcycles, and hopefully make enough money to fix your knee in short time.

Thank you Syclone. Id like that also. I think I need to stop for a while and focus 100% on my knee, after all the braces are shipped of course. When Im better Ill get back into parts.

Am I the only one who thinks it's strange that all of a sudden he can ship parts again?

Cool, I'm looking forward to getting the brace...I had just about given up on it...I'll pass it on to the guy who bought my Superhawk...

Its not that I couldnt ship parts, its that the braces were not finished. I went through some frustration with them and it took way to long.

This post will probably get deleted again but at least you didn't **** anyone out of almost 1k dollars and in addition cost almost that much more to fix amateur night craftsmanship like MRBILLET. Should change his name to MRPAPERWEIGHT, which is what his custom swingarm was good for...He figured he could just keep my money and I'd eventually forget.

My 2 cents Trucker...You're extremely talented and obviously folks on here took an IMMEDIATE liking to you and had IMMEDIATE respect for your skills. We also took a genuine concern in your medical problems, and frankly I was blown away (in a good way) that the forum raised that much money for you. The only other time I saw anything like that was when Ali's friend got a serious head injury in a racing accident and I'm pretty sure they maybe raised half as much for her. But when it comes to business, stories and excuses are worthless, even if they're legitimate. Results are what matters. It's nothing personal, but when someone's money is taken and they're not getting what they payed for or communicated with, or told stories for too long they're going to assume they're getting screwed. EVERYONE has problems, and I'm not trying to be cold or uncaring, but when it comes to people's money you can't make those problems anyone else's. I do understand though that you're getting this off the ground, but you just need to keep folks in the loop, especially those that gave you money.

Anyway I wish you well. I know what it's like to learn to walk again at a young age. I did when I was 23. And I hope you can get things back on track because I'm sure lots of folk on here would like to see more of your talents on display. And I hope you do right by everyone who paid you and they're satisfied in the end.

There is a way to reassure folks though that you haven't forgotten about them or are simply disappearing with their money if there is a delay, especially when there isn't a set deadline. Next time just send out a few PM's or make a couple phone calls to your customers. You'd be surprised it makes a world of difference.

Trucker, thanks for checking back in, and I hope you're doing well. It would be nice to update your build post with the latest. I know you posted on the fighter forum with some pics a while back.

I know you'll make things right with the forum members who bought your braces, and I appreciate that. I kinda put my own *** on the line for you.

And welcome back!

I was pissed off about Truckers behaviour... And I wasn't even one of the one's ordering... I was however part of the donation...

And excuses aren't worth much...

But... What is worth something is having the guts to stand up and say "I messed up!"

You did that Truck... Hat's of...

Received my TMBmotorsport fork brace in the mail today, it's a nice piece...



Thanks Trucker, and again, my condolences on the loss of your brother...

I have no idea how many of us ordered braces but I see that at least two braces have been received. Is anyone else still waiting? Or just me. According to Truck they were all supposed to be complete almost three weeks ago.
