He got what he deserved!

The healthy state of the economy depends on the trust and cooperation among businesses.

Hell Bent Motorcycles, Ray Shott in particular, has ordered a set of 23×3.75 and 18×10.5 Apollo chrome plated radial laced wheels for one of his Custom Bikes from our company on June 2007.

Unfortunately, his check was bounced back, and all tries to contact Ray Shott were in vain. He never replied to emails,and dozens of phone calls with messages. We consider this to be an act of theft!

In case if you are riding these wheels, keep in mind that you have got stolen wheels on from HDW (www.hdwheels.com)

F*ck that town!! Move down the street. Unless he’s just using this as an excuse to throw in the towel. Wow, if he’s building $100,000 customs he should have plenty of money to move. LOL. Tried to find some of those $100,000 customs on his website. Didn’t see them. I guess they keep those hidden away. Good Luck Hell Bent. In this shitty economy were all going to need it.

sorry… why not just move…. we have all seen Footloose right! Move across the tracks and have your dance in that county.

This sort of thing should not put a guy out of business, this is a worldwide industry (or at least nationwide anyway… how much local traffic could he be doing that could not be done a couple bocks or miles down the road.

This is a shit deal, no matter how you size this up. With the way things are nowadays with the economy and all, you would think that the city would be a little bit flexible so that some tax revenue could come into the town, jobs created, and all of the residual benefits that a small business offers to a community. If the guy tried to open a strip club or a porno shop next to a elementary school or church, yeah I could see city hall having a shit attack but this is a Motorcycle shop, think they need to think things through a bit more carefully before shutting this guy down. Just my opinion…

Sure sounds like there’s a case to be made for a refund on the first permit.

IMHO anyway…

It looks as if the city issued them a business permit without first checking the zoning ordinance with the city planner. It’s zoned as mixed use which disallows motorcycle sales. It’ll be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

Wow, I thought we lived in the year 2008 …… seems more like the year 1958 with the actions of this small town.

Good luck Ray!
