Have I been scammed ?

    I recently contacted Stickboy about a set of tires. The price he gave me sounded suspicious, but I agreed based on his reputation here.

    Well this Sunday I met him at TGP to pick up the tires, and not only did he honor the price he had given, but mounted them in record time -- for free.

    Why am I complaining you ask? Well his ridiculously low price saved me enough money to add another track day to my schedule (actually a day and a half if I go with his buddy Pete at Xact, I am convinced they are in this together, saving us all into bankruptcy.)

    This extra day or two, courtesty of Stickboy, will of course require more tires. I'm sure Stickboy will pull the same stunt again, tricking me into more and more track time while padding his pockets pennies at a time.

    What do you think? BBB, asskicking ?

    P.S. Thanks Derek!!!!

    You're not the only one he's done this too.

    Jerk changed my tires at 10 pm Friday night at Tally because I got in late and needed them for Saturday. Smiled about it the whole time he was doing it. I've got a feeling this is the usual business practices of this guy. What a shitmonkey. :Poke::D

    I think he runs around with a bad crowd too. That kkesler guy was hangin around the truck the whole time all this was going down.

    I am relieved that someone is finally exposing this obvious tire trickster!

    This was my experience:

    I contacted this Stixboy character to see if he had tires for my ride, and, wouldn't you know it, he returned my call! I mean, today everyone knows how patently suspicious it is when someone calls you back promptly with accurate information and decent prices! It's just too much, I tell you, and I hope none of you were taken for a ride by this slippery tire slickster.

    And another thing: once, trackside, I asked him for fresh rubber, and he monkeyed around with my tires and told me I didn't need new ones yet! Now that's really sleazy. I felt robbed of the opportunity to spend money. No one should be made to tolerate this kind of abuse.

    In the illicit drug world, this would be considered a "free day". They provide free crack to get you hooked. So now they're doing this shyt with fresh rubber, :crackhead: will be the result.

    He's always given me good advice on pressures and beat my local shop's price on front brake pads. He didn't even charge me to mount the take-offs I have on the bike now. I'm probably going to get some new rubber at Nashville. You think I should steer clear of this Stickboy character then?

    Be careful around that ginger jackwagon, he's planning something. No one can be as downright nice as he is and not be up to something.

    I hate everyone (especially YOU) except for Stick.
