A little over a week ago I listed an original Wes Cooley NOS seat trim on eBay. During the auction I received an inquiry through eBay from a gentleman who had recently purchased a Wes Cooley and it apparently had nothing that looked similar to this piece I had listed. I explained to him where it goes and that both the 79? and 80? bikes had this seat trim.
I asked him to send me his email and I would send him some pictures. Well, eBay does not allow the exchange of email addresses through their system, so he asked for my number. I gave him my number and he left me a message with his email address.
Fast forward to shortly before the end of the auction, he called (left message) and said he didn?t receive my email. I was unable to call him back until several hours after the auction, which he did not bid on.
Anyway, I called him up and he answered the phone. He immediately said how appreciative he was of me calling him and we started to discuss bikes. He is a two stroke guy but came across this cooley that he picked up. We talked about the seat trim as well as the HTF cooley parts.
I told him that he should visit the GSR and he will get all the information he will need to bring the bike back to life.
There was a brief signal loss in our communication............he came back and said ?sorry, I am in an ambulance?. I asked if he was driving it and he replied, ?no, I fell off a roof and have multiple bones sticking out of my body, I am kind of screwed right now?.
We continued conversing for a few more minutes, after I wished him luck on his recovery. He didn?t want to stop talking Cooley?s!!
He mentioned that he is not really an internet or forum guy, so I am not sure if he will make his way here.
