So, I guess he's still alive. I've sent emails and called, but nothing. Trying to get a status on a pipe I order about a month ago. |

Do not complain about waiting for one of his pipes or people on this board will bite your head off. Don't you know that you should wait for how ever long it takes and keep quiet about it? How dare you complain about a sponsor!!! |

Well done Damnut. I'm not complaining, just want to know what's going on. |

I sent Odie 2 e-mails a couple of weeks ago and only got a reply on one. I thought I wasn't "feelin the love" anymore, hope he's OK. |

lol I understand that Odie is a very busy helicopter pilot, so give him a break! (Hey Odie, I hope you'll do my pipe quicker when I send it to you right? right?) (Message edited by wavex on April 21, 2009) |

Odie is one hell of a busy guy! If I recall correctly he's being forced into overtime with the helicopter stuff (union job) Plus owning and running TWO businesses.... He is a very busy man! He also just got over being pretty sick a couple weeks ago, so not sure if he back up to full speed with his backlog yet or not. Just give em some time. It IS worth it! |

I got an email from him today and he said he was sorry about taking so long to get back to me. He said he is swamped and trying to keep his head above water. Mike Long Island, NY 06 XB12X Red/Black |

It's worth the wait. He's not ignoring you, he's doing the best he can. If the world would simply recognize that his pipe is the best and swamp his ass with bidness, maybe he could shut down his other interests and build the best Buell pipe on the planet full time. Maybe even open a west coast fab and ship. Buy Special O.P.S. Not too loud, just proud. It's wheelie good! |

Be Patient... I sent my pipe to Odie in Feb, he said 2 weeks, but it took about 6 weeks & It was hard to get in touch with him. But the pipe came in & Its amazing, looks like brand new & sounds just sick. He seems to have a lot going on right now.

Guys- I am very much alive but extremely busy as a few have stated. I appreciate everyone's patience. I'm operating on 4 hours of sleep right now trying to keep everyone happy. I am working on everyone's stuff as fast as I can. Once I get behind it is very hard to get caught up. I have not had a day off in over 3 weeks due to overtime. I am only human and I work as long and hard as I can until I can't stay awake anymore. Then I get up and start all over again. Not looking for sympathy- just trying to give you a glimpse of the time constraints I have to operate under right now. I will GLADLY send anyone's cash back to them if you can't wait. Just let me know. Mesafirebolt seems eager for some work since he highjacked this thread. Really guys- I am shipping stuff right now as fast as humanly possible. This will be over soon...... |

Numerous people think that I have a sizable business with several employees. On the contrary, I'm just one guy doing pipe mods in his small shop behind his house. All the mod's, finish work, painting, and packaging are done by me. I try to keep turn around time to a minimum but sometimes life gets in the way- kids, work, and of course, the infamous "Honey Do" list.

Phone Calls & Emails..... There part of owning a business & part of the Customer Service of owning said business... NOT returning them in a timely manner, Just shows poor Service. Your lucky to have such forgiving customers. |

firebolteric_ma: do you have an order with Odie? His website seems to be upfront that he's a one man operation. It's been clear through the forums that he's a one man operation and that his work takes time. People have waited their turn and spoke well of him and his product. Seems to me that most customers know, and accept, what they're getting into. Seems to me that the several people that build quality pipes for Buells are pretty well offering the same service and part of that is the customer being willing to work with the builders own needs. Don't think of it as forgiving, think of it as part of the deal. You can always vote with your feet on this. |

Hey if you want the man's pipe, its gonna take time, always has. As long as you go into it knowing that, you'll be fine. Its not like he's Wal Mart or something! Each pipe is a semi custom work of art. (Message edited by mesafirebolt on April 24, 2009) |
