This sure does seem like bad form, Bill. 

If the story is different, then explain.

Give the man back his stuff.

it may be that someone else is using Bill's computer.... if FJ owners is set as his home page then it would appear as if he is logging in when in actuality it is someone else.

I've known Bill for a long time... there has to be some extenuating circumstances going on.

Well,

We went racing over the weekend and upon my return I see a big conversation about from fork valves.

Unfortunately there is still no word from Bill about the valves I sent him to test, I have not received them back, or received any type of communication.

I see he hasn't logged onto the site since my last update on the 25Th.

Bill, please just send my parts back to me.

And if anyone is in contact with him, please pass along my request to return the parts.

I was wondering if this was what it was all about, because I'm ready to do the emulator mod soon, and I'd like to see what you have to offer before I look into the Race Tech parts.

Good Luck with this, Randy.

Well Pat,
         I think they are going to work excellent, but I was hoping with the requested and accepted assistance of Bill, the fine tuning would have been completed last spring-early summer. (Which he even admits to here on the forum).

But since he has not logged on since 10/25, I guess I have exhausted the last source where he would check in to possibly get a message to him.

Like I have stated before, he will not return my emails, PM's, voice mails or even the message left at home; let alone address this post. Many forum members who are acquainted with Bill say that I have been putting pressure on him, well I beg to differ. When I agree to someone that I am going to do something, I get it done.

Heck, Bill even sent me two sets of carbs last year which when I received them were damaged in shipping. Not only did I preform the work requested, I had the broken carb heli-arc welded prior to returning it; and it did not take me 9 months to get it done; more like a week or two.

Since I have not been able to make contact with Bill, I have spoke to the valve manufacture last Friday and I have to now purchase another two sets to continue the testing process.

Like I stated in my last post; if someone would ride by and pickup my parts, contact Bill and ask him to either get a hold of me or send the parts back, that would sure be a benefit to the FJ owners who are looking to upgrade their suspension.

The items I need returned from Bill;

1) Set of fork valves
1) Shim assortment
1) Tool used to disassemble the valve.

I will gladly pay the return shipping cost if someone from the group is so inclined to retrieve them and sent them back. Heck, I will even offer a discount on a future order from my website if someone picks them up and sends them back to me.

If not, then Bill has "won". I will no longer call him, email or PM him and he can keep the valves because he has burned the bridge.

It is amazing how a couple of members have told me these posts are counterproductive and "he will dig in his heels..." These post would not have started if he would have just returned a phone or email. He could have then told me, "sorry, I am just too busy to help you with this" or "Man, I have been slammed I hope to get to them in the next two weeks."

But he has chosen silence...and my confusion is, what is he digging in his heels about?

Not wanting to help?
Not wanting to send back the parts?
Because I am pressuring him?

What does he have to resist against?

Maybe someday he will speak up and give his position and and why he has been so "resistant".

Because when you tell someone something and commit to something, then maybe you should stand by your word...

Randy, I sent Bill a message through FB to let him know you want him to contact you, if that helps.

Sorry for the trouble, but I'm VERY interested in updating my forks.
