Bummer! I hope all goes well for you. Do you have too much to do at this time or can you still accept orders for parts? If you can I'll buy a sprocket adapter just to keep around. Good luck!!!!

I had many people that rode with me in the taxi ask what they could do to help me stay afloat (I actually spoke English LOL) I always told em send me some business...if anyone knows of a nice juicey contract for this guy would be really nice...1 at a time orders are not gonna pay the bills he said he been without a contract for over a year that is what put him outa business.

I wish you well...much like I am sure you are I am used to people liking my work this economy is really a new experience for me.

Placed my order too. I might not even put it on the bike, I may just hang it up on the wall for everyone to admire. :D

Oh Man, I totally agree with George. Jim please post what type of commercial orders you are needing. You have a wide audience here that would love to help. Your a very talented machinist. You have your own shop and tooling. This is just a matter hooking up with people in need of product. I hope you stay afloat.

I'm greatly saddened :( to hear about that Jim... I still patiently wait for my order. Owning a product made by Manic Mechanic is a real trophy. It's unique, durable, and dependable. For me, it's a great honor to own one of his products. I hope all the best for you in your future endeavours, and I hope you'll still remain active in the forums. You have the whole world as your market. I just don't think the world recognized your efforts fast enough to cope up with the bills. But I think it would be a different story if it did.

I'm still optimistic that you'll be able resurrrect your shop for a grand re-opening. I think it's just a matter of time. And when that happens, I can assure you that if not all, most of us would be there to support your products.

Cheers... :)

Thank you guys for ordering from us!!!

I figured a few last minute orders would come in from our customers who have already bought our products...I didn't expect enough to keep Karen and I busy for another month!

Thank You...We'll deal with December when it's time...for now we're filling orders!

I really didn't expect to be able to pay the shop rent this month!

Again...thanks guys!

Jim
