Perry Ruiter Problem update.

[Laurie]

I know this is an old Post But:
Perry has built 2, 3 to 2 brush Generators for me and shipped to Australia sometimes he took his time responding but always did and apologetically! and then sent a great product.
As far as I'm concerned a top Bloke!

[Peter Cooke]

Has anyone seen or heard from Perry recently? I've been trying to pay him for a generator he shipped me back in April but am getting no response to my emails.
I hope he's ok, very helpful guy.

if a member is doing bad all members should know it, if we can't count on each other why have a club

So hypothetically, Ronnie,...

I should be able to dox deadbeat customers?

Even if they are not here to defend themselves?

Just askin',...

....Cotten
PS: And now just to keep my PM box empty, please let me put it another way:

Why are vendors fair prey, but customers are sacred cows?

PPS: If you PM someone, Folks,..
Then all can see your PMs to everybody else, by merely clicking on your name.

(47 Years with the club is pretty impressive, Ronnie!)

Good morning. I just read this string, while browsing. I know it is a dead subject, but feel compelled to tell of my interactions with Perry. I read something he had put out while I was working on an old generator. I wanted to convert that generator from a 3 brush to 2 brush. Perry taught me how to do that, even came to my shop to help me., I very much appreciate what he taught me, and have used the information to convert other generators. I thank him for his help.

Infamy, infamy, they've got it in for me!
Perry Ruiter is "a face" in the vintage bike scene over there. He has been doing restoration work for some years, takes part in the Cannonball Runs, and makes guest appearances on YouTube videos. He has his fans and admirers, I know all of that. So I was expecting one or two people to not be very pleased with the matter being aired.

I guess I side with RogG....

my sympathy is with RobG, but my point is, this type of thing does no one any good. it was handled, done and over with. i would have helped out in a situation like RobG's. i deliberately do not get involved with this sort of "discussion," but i succumbed. again - this type of thing does no one any good. i'm done. Roger that, over, and out.

When you say "the rest of us don't give a f--k", fortunately for me someone did give a f--k and went out of his way to get the matter resolved in a matter of days.

resentments are like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. move on.

[pisten-bully]

Whoa! My computer's smoking again after those.....geeez. 😁

Do you also defend paedophiles and rapists Eric?

[exeric]

Take a hike, as we say here in America.

I understand perfectly well Steve, thank you. So where were you when poor old Lance was called "slippery" and a "crook". It was nearly 3 long years of trying to get Ruiter to even respond to an email, let alone send me my property. It was only when there was the possibility that someone would speak with him face to face on my behalf that Ruiter "lost his bottle" (as they say in England) and he mailed the property very speedily. Yes, a person of integrity, honesty, and honour there, just the type of person that any organisation would be proud to count among their number.

[Steve Swan]

So why should I have left it at that?

if you have to ask, there's probably no amount of explaining that could help you understand. Not knowing ALL DETAILS to both sides of the story, MAYBE what Perry did was not above board or even wrong, so a recitation of your version of the events, after the situation is resolved helps no one. reporting you got your parts back after what sounds like a long wait is one thing, but the pejorative manner in which you shared return of your parts is another.
