12-02-2011 #421I gotta agree... sure it was a shit deal but why did you even go? shovels will do everything you need except out run someone in a drag race. you decide. Speed or Tourque. and a huge engine is only gonna get you farther from stock.. meaning farther from realilibity. so I must ask.. do I read this right... you are keeping the EVO as well???
do as you will... if you get your shit back... ship "collect"
reverse the deal. just because he was a fuck doesnt mean you need to charge him an entire engine. seriously... anger is one thing.. square is another.
my mind just makes you another thief.
dont let anger control you.
erase the deal.
Butche
also, while i too think shovel>EVO in awesomeness, its his choice. you should see the looks on the guys faces at the parts counter when i tell them im going to swap my EFI over to carbs!!! to each his own, at least it wasnt an ironhead he was trading for...

feel free to debate the merits of internal oiling vs external oiling, 74 vs 80, cool vs cooler, etc...no one is going to hurt my feelings, hahaha! actually this thread has little to do with me at this point. i'm really just posting new info as it comes at this point because it seems like there are a few people tracking this thread who are genuinely interested in how this little crap-fest turns out. also, i owe a lot of people a lot of thanks for everything they've done to help me get the shovel back. at this juncture, keeping them updated is the very least i can do. (though i am still gonna try to throw a little shindig to thank everyone and unveil the finished bike sometime next spring or summer...check the zen bastards blog from time to time for updates on that.)
for those following the story, the last "forgotten" box is slated for delivery on monday dec. 5th. i'll have pics and details that evening. also, there are some extenuating circumstances that may be explained later...or not. gotta see how some things play out before i can say anything.
until then, armchair mechanics and hindsight psychics do your worst! seriously though, i know there are some hotly debated topics being discussed in this thread. i'm enjoying the back and forth commentary as much as the next guy.
thanks again to those who deserve it. you know who you are.

rider728,
Wow. You've handled this whole thing a lot better than I would have. You are a true gentleman with much restraint which why I believe this will resolve itself in your favor. "G'luck man.

So, we'll get the finale to this on the 5th, and the SOA finale on the 6th! Looks like my spare time will be online on those two days.

Rider,
Glad most of this worked out so far, as for me I'd keep the Evo...if for no other reason than to keep this assbag from scamming the next guy with it.
O.K., now I gotta ask did the box with the heads come yet? (don't make me wet my Depends waiting)
This story is better entertainment than the Youtube vid of Paul Jr. sitting on the Jesse James cock cake

Damnit! I missed the damn delivery guy and the damn box required a damn signature so now I have to wait another damn day and go claim the damn box!! Damnit!
Sorry guys, my patience is beginning to wear thin.
I will update and post pics when I get the package tomorrow. So tired of not being able to ride...starting to feel like I just daydreamed ever having pinned a throttle wide open in the first place.

That fucking BLOWS. However, if you're not too far, you can drive to the UPS/Fedex location the trucks come from and pick it up there yourself. I've done it a few times.

finally got the box home and opened it up...finally! i got the jugs and heads back. apart from losing a few studs and bolts that were shipped with the top end when i sent it out originally, everything looks to be present and accounted for. relatively speaking there doesn't seem to be major damage, except...poor packaging led to some dings and gouges, one small broken fin, and one bent rocker cover stud. compared to not getting them back at all, i'm fairly relieved. most of the damage is either repairable, or not serious enough to junk the components.
here are the latest pics:
now, it's on to the rebuild. back to where i was months ago but with more frustration...yay!!
i'm pretty confident that the loser in question will be rewarded for his role in some way or another. no need for any of us to waste the energy trying to teach him any lesson. i highly doubt he'd retain any useful knowledge, anyway...regardless of how said information was presented to him.
now for the commentary...

) and this is the first thing I checked on when I got back to civilization
. Shows you how twisted we all get about shit like this. Hopefully all of us that read this learned a lesson...there are still scumfucks out there, but also Brothers who give a shit about each other. Better turn this into a build thread after all this drama
. I'm glad it all worked out
