Although it was extra work, he got his bike and a box of parts. He kept saying that he wanted his bike back running, like it was on whatever day he saw it running. We were like, yeah right. You'll get what you paid for.<br /><br />The satisfaction was that the judge ordered him to pay the highest amount he'd offered at one time in an e-mail, which really covered more than the word he'd "authorized." We got some satisfaction out of it.<br /><br />When we were leaving court, he was being all smug thinking he was getting his bike back running for half what the invoice was for. I told him that every time he got on that bike, he could think about how he screwed a small business man to get it. My guess is he won't ave a lot of fun on it.<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes. Not sure how many more Joe13 stories there will be. We've taken a step back but are still hanging out a bit. It goes back to the whole reason I was doing this in the first place; I have a love-hate relationship with relationships. LOL I'm trying to get past some ancient horrors, but I think I'm a better person on my own.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822652671017930853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-19525943231197372592011-01-14T21:21:00.632-08:002011-01-14T21:21:00.632-08:00Ahhh….

Well it sounds lik...Ahhh…. Thanks for the update:)<br /><br />Well it sounds like court went alright then. If you didn't get every thing that was invoiced I pray you didn't give that little shit the bike back running?<br /><br />If I where you I would have had it accidentally found a nail in the tire or something.<br /><br />Anyways keep us all posted on your journeys. Love reading about you and Joe 13.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-80321381017933323832011-01-14T20:54:51.950-08:002011-01-14T20:54:51.950-08:00Abby, I had a similar experience with a pocket scr...Abby, I had a similar experience with a pocket screwdriver I carry on my keychain. TSA wanted to take it away and said the I could dismantle the plane with it!!! LMAO!! My dad gave me that when I was a kid and since my dad is dead, it's really special to me! One of the TSA guys finally said it was ok.<br /><br />I just got in on this court thing... How could this kid get away with not paying for the work done? It makes no Sense especially if you have the documentation. If I were you I would give him back a bucket of parts he paid for and tell him to put it together himself! He doesn't know s#!+ anyway and you'd have the last laugh. Gues the good part is that you learned never get screwed over again.<br /><br />CycleFeind BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-50003268335631022462011-01-13T12:49:22.144-08:002011-01-13T12:49:22.144-08:00I deleted it because I decided I'd rather not ...I deleted it because I decided I'd rather not waste space on my blog. But here's the rest of the story anyway. <br /><br />The judge found in our favor, but we didn't get all that was invoiced. The problem was that there was no signature authorizing the work. We did get more than he wanted to pay though, because of the authorization in the e-mails. The kicker was that he showed up in court in his business casual khakis and a notebook with exhibits ranging from A to DD (or something like that). I guess he was trying to prove that he never said he wanted the bike running, that he'd only approved the engine work. However, in one e-mail he talked about arranging a ride to the shop so he could pick up the bike, meaning he was going to ride it home. In another exhibit, he lists the 10 things he asked us to do, one of which was the engine. Later on he said he never authorized the work. So based on the fact that the weenie admitted he asked us to do the work and then turned around and said he never authorized it, the judge gave us what he could based on the e-mails. Everyone knew that he'd asked for the work, but when he learned that legally he didn't have to pay for it, he pulled this, "but I didn't AUTHORIZE it" whiny crap.<br /><br />The judge gave us 48 hours to give the bike back to him. He wanted to get it right then, but we weren't going back to the shop at that point. We got the cash from him that the judge ordered, and then we gave him back exactly what he paid for. The cops that the kid called to accompany him to the shop thought it was pretty funny. He was practically in tears. I guess he was hoping to ride on Christmas Day.<br /><br />What goes around, comes around. That, and there won't be a wrench moved out of place without a signed authorization. Something we started doing right after this kid dropped his bike off.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12822652671017930853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54880291124800237.post-26201385420808369592011-01-12T09:01:24.960-08:002011-01-12T09:01:24.960-08:00Hey what happened to the last blog.
