Darren knocked off his bike
flak monkey - 11/9/09 at 03:53 PM

Guys,

Just had a message from Darren that he was hurt in an accident where he was knocked off his bike last night, so is off work for a while.

If you are trying to get in touch with him, please bear this in mind.

I will update when I get some more info.

Cheers,
David

oh sorry to hear. I hope there is no lasting effect of the result of his injuries


I bet there is a long list wishing it was them that done it......

I've just realised I'm a terminal cynic.

Hope he's ok with no complications, never nice when things like that happen, my thoughts are with his family.

I trust it wont effect his delivery times.

Hey anyone know if "ZEN" is in the UK at the moment ???

What did you expect????

When did Zen say he was coming over?


Yorkie - 12/9/09 at 01:10 PM

All issues aside, I do hope you make a full and speedy recovery Darren.


RoadkillUK - 12/9/09 at 08:12 PM

Does this mean that people won't be getting their orders delivered or possibly delayed?

Red wine splatters all over my twin monitor display. Sorry Darren is in pain, really.


ZEN - 13/9/09 at 10:35 PM

I have sent Darren an e-mail about my visit to Kent on 8.sep.'09. In his reply he stated that "the order has been shipped yesterday".
He has sent me a tracking number for the shipment via DHL. I have tried to track the package on the DHL web site which resulted in a message "No Result Found for your Query". The last message I received from him was on sep. 11. at 17:37h
For now I'm not going to comment the "bike accident".

I have contacted DHL by phone. They say the Waybill Number that Darren gave me
is NOT valid and they can't find any parcels with that number or in fact addressed to my name...


cd.thomson - 14/9/09 at 08:41 AM

outrageous


flak monkey - 14/9/09 at 09:26 AM

He was clipped by a car which luckily just knocked him off.

Sounds like he is making a good recovery anyway.

Zen, sorry to hear you are still having problems. I will be going down to collect some bits in a couple of weeks and will ask then if I remember.

Cheers,
David

Checked again with the tracking number on DHL a few minutes ago. Now is shows up and says "Shipment picked up Monday, September 14, 2009 at 13:30".

Good news I thought it might have been that it hadnt been registered on the system.

Hope it arrives in one piece!

well, that is good news.

Hope Darren recovers soon

maybe I'll even get my Wilwood kit one day...


ZEN - 15/9/09 at 06:28 PM

By the documents received from DHL it seams that not all the items are in the package. Still missing about 230 GBP in parts

Have you spoken to him about it? Or are you just venting on here first?

Plus if you havent recieved it yet, why are you making a fuss. Wait and see what you get!


cd.thomson - 15/9/09 at 06:47 PM

youre overstepping your helpful bounds now flak?

It sounds like Darren wont speak to Zen and hes already given large amounts of leeway, so hes possibly allowed to vent? The thread choice might be dubious, but it saves the forum getting clogged with GTS comments.

Just to be clear, im not attacking GTS or Darren here, but I'm happy to admit im defending Zen.


flak monkey - 15/9/09 at 06:58 PM

Sorry, but it reads like he hasnt even recieved it yet, so doesnt even know whats there and what isnt.

Fair enough if some stuff is missing, but at the moment who knows?

If GTS wont speak to him, then someone has been (and its not been me) in order for him to get his parts.

I am expecting some parts myself from GTS and will be going to collect them in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, whatever. My helpfulness is at the end of it's tether and is now withdrawn in matters regarding GTS. At least on the public forum. Any discussions will be had via PM with only those people involved.

I have received the scan of the bill for the customs office from DHL and there is missing 4 parts that I have ordered and the package is way to light...


RoadkillUK - 15/9/09 at 07:45 PM

I hope you get that parts you need to continue for a while, maybe by then you'll receive the rest of your order.

Again, good luck.

he might have missed some items off the list to save you some tax money - but i suppose it also being underweight doesnt tally with that. good luck anyway

Does anyone know if Darren is back at work. I did read he was knocked off his bike but unsure how serious it was.
I am waiting for over 1500.00 pounds of parts and was told by Darren he had a few issues so I left him alone for a month. Now 6 weeks after that email I would realy like my parts but he is not returning my emails, well he hasn't for the past two weeks so I'm unsure if he's back at work ??
Is he back and just ignoring me or has he done himself some serious injury.
I'd hate to continue with the courts if he was unwell.

Cheers


oudakontrol - 21/9/09 at 10:54 AM

Well it appears he is back at work, thanks to those who emailed me.

I have sent him another email stating I would continue with the legal action through the Kent County Court and forward all information by Tuesday afternoon.
He must think he is god or something....
I offered him to either pay me the 1538.00 in parts I ordered some time back (2 years) or pay legal costs plus interest which is approximately 2300.00 pounds. I told him I was diagnosed with cancer and have been getting treatment which is extremely expensive and need the parts to on sell to get some money and he is still not returning any of my emails. This is a very personal thing for me to say but where do you go when you need the money, my money. 1538.00 pounds is almost two and a half months pay for me.
I have never met such an irresponsible person in my life. It's obvious he has spent my money on something else and everyone elses for that matter.
