  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cooley Power!!

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.
 
Who answers their phone while they're being transported to the hospital? and then proceeds to have a conversation with a stranger about bikes?? I'm guessing he was probably a 'little' high on what ever the ambulance attendant stabbed into his body :p

I hear ya! I did ask if he was on some good meds and he replied with yes and continued talking bikes.

I will give him a call in a week or so to follow up, as I was one that finally ended the call.
 
Have to laugh at that one! I had a small stroke (TIA)several years ago and enroute to the hospital by ambulance, the ambulance attendant was asking me if I knew anyone reliable who did furnace work. I gave her the name and number of a friend who does this and she proceeded to tell me how she had recently been screwed over by one of the large companies that she had called. My friend ended up doing the work over and all it needed was a small part.

Just came across this story, and had a god laugh as well!
Did you ever follow up with him after his hospitalization?
 
Ha! Thanks for reminding me. I just sent him an email to see how he is doing.

I believe if you hit "reply" as if you were responding to an email other than eBay, it is like normal emailing. Not the "respond" in the body of the email. That's how I ended up getting info from the guy I bought my bike from.
