Johnu773 Hooked me up!!!!
« on: March 15, 2008, 10:03:58 PM »
I just got home from Johns house where he totally hooked up my sons bike with all the parts needed to finish out his bike. We're talkikn front brake cable, rear cables w/ gyro and levers installed and adjusted everything. Plus he added in two tires some stickers and gyro parts for my bike oh and two pairs of pegs. And the kicker is , he didn't charge me a dime for anything. SUPER NICE GUY!!! He also had bikes there that he was working on that were for a charity for children. I just wanted to let everyone know what a stand up guy he is and how he  goes out of his way to help other flatlanders out. I know he has helped a lot of riders out here with great deals or free stuff but I just wanted to let everyone know how he helped me out and that John is the real deal. Thanks John!!! :beer:

Peace

Thanks guys! ;D   I try my best to help fellow riders out, without taking personal gains.  If you ever see something that i'm selling you know the price is always fair.  I also gives tons of stuff away for free all the time(many here have received that treat).

I work at a shop(part-time) and a lot of people don't want to pay to fix their bikes.  they leave them behind to have us throw them away.  I select the ones i feel can be made safe enough to ride and take them home to work on.  i donate all the labor and used parts myself.  once they're tuned up and safe to ride i give them to local kids who dont have anything to ride or i give them to paul "letsgo" hahn.

paul volunteers at a sheleter for kids who have have rough lives(piece of crap parents, no parents, live in foster homes).  they try to teach them how to set goals in life.  paul gives them incentives such as keep your grades up all year and you can have this gt(true story...and she did it!!!).

well enough of my ramblings, thats for the good words bulldog!  anytime!!! tell conner to enjoy his bike!!!

 I'll have to admit, John is a hell of a guy, and when it comes to riders/flatland. He's all heart, we could all learn a lot from him. He has helped me in getting restarted, with advice on parts and setups. I bought my cranks from him and he threw in a brand new pair of twisted pc pedals. On one conversion, I was telling him that I bought a wheel-set from F/F, and that I was broke now, He asked what else I needed. He's now setting me up with a front brake and lever, just so I will stay out of trouble with my wife. It is not always about how many parts he sells, but how many people he helps with the parts that he does sell.  To him that is his reward in helping people get the parts they need to be able to keep riding.  Keep up the good work John.  Like I said John is one HELL of a guy.................Russ

1) if you dont need the stuff anymore, pass it to someone who does at a good deal or free.

2) if i'm ever in need, please return the favor.

3) buy from FLATLANDFUEL when you need something new.
