It does seem that all the negative posts about MM keep getting deleted.
When someone makes a comment like "I hope you don't mind waiting 9 months to get your parts"; it's seen as a 'dig' against MM & deleted.
How are forum members suppossed to get lied to & ripped off by a vendor & still be nice to that person when posting about their experience with him??? (It's not possible.)
MM has a history of accepting peoples money, lying to them about the progress of their parts & NOT sending them the parts they paid for, & it's still going on because the negative stuff about him gets deleted.
I've asked some mods "What is a acceptable way to warn forum members about him?" & I'm still waiting for a response.
But hey... All this negative talk about him is gonna get deleted too!
Jim still takes orders from at his shop... It's not all through Pirate!!! (that's BS)
All you would have to do is simply send people the parts that they pay for in a timely manner, (& not lie to your customers about it), & you won't have all these problems!!Wow. I'm a machinist and was thinking about making parts but now I'm kind of nervous about it. I suppose the only way I'm going to sell anything I make will be on Ebay or through a distributor. Ebay would be cheapest method for my customers because no middle man takng a cut but I'm not sure I even want to make stuff to sell now.
is it possible for someone to get banned and the ban later be lifted?

i can claim i was banned... and lived to tell!Yes of course - "temp bans" (usually roughly three days) are sometimes used on forums to give people a second chance - a lil while to cool down and figure out what went wrong... we don't tend to utilize them here as we prefer a more direct & interactive an approach, usually we exchange PMs to try to figure out what the problem is... which is admittedly harder, but often effective. Temp bans I personally find to be unusually authoritative and not very effective.
But... what on earth would we possibly ban you for man? I mean... if you've got homework or something ya need do and yer spending too much time here I suppose we could exile ya...
...but I say ta heck w/the chores or w/e - bikes rule
Wow. I guess i have not been paying close enough attention to what has been going on here.I want to make this clear to all the forum members... I use to be a big supporter of Jim & his company.
I used to push his parts on my customers to help him sell his parts.
I also used to defend him when he got these angry posts about him.
That all ended after he screwed me over just like the other members who are complaining about him here!
He lied to me on the phone about the status of my parts, he over charged me $40 on my parts & he ended up costing me a few hundred dollars on a customers bike that he never made my part for!
When Jim failed to produce my custom part on schedule, I had to buy a shift kit & a front disc brake to finish the customers bike on time!
I'm not against posts expressing negative experiences. I've been pretty supportive of Jim for the simple reason that my experiences with him have been good. Sure, I had to wait some, but I knew that was the situation when I ordered. He does custom work and the bigger orders come first. I can only report on my own experiences. Good products some of which are available nowhere else, more than fair prices and in my own experience good customer service. I'm not a fan and not a "cheerleader". Not into hero worship. I will say that Jim was one of the people who helped me out when I most needed it. As did a couple of you who are the most vocal as his critics. It pains me to hear the negative personal attacks as I consider all three of you my friends. Each of you has been kind to me, each of you has my respect. However, I wish this soap opera would end. Can we change the channel and get back to our normal programming? The criticisms have been posted many times. It has been said and heard. If there's something new to report, then do so, but why keep hashing over the same old? It sounds like an ongoing grudge and is pointless.
