Guys, I know there are a lot here who are tired of hearing about this, if so, nothing to see.

I have been for some time accumulating information to pursue legal courses to recover from Tim Taylor (718) some of what he's taken from us.

If you have been one of his victims then kindly contact me at 281-750-1705 and you can be part of righting a wrong, and yes, perhaps getting some of what was taken from you back.

This is a forum for enthusiasts. I will make this post to the other thred on Tim's actions, and then in the interest of removing this matter from further discussion on an enthusiast's board, will be confining any posts here to anything other than this topic.

I thought this one going to be one of those "he died" threads.

I had an old guy beat me out of three grand one time and after a while it became apparent that it was going to cost me more to pursue it than it was worth. I did get the joy of belittling him a bit in public on one occasion and then he got sick and died. Karma is a bitch. No doubt 718 is in line for some of that as well.

Thanks Mouse!

RJ, I have Emailed you.

I don't think of justice here as someone passing away!! I do believe that laws are made for these kinds of things, and have faith in this.

As a whole i feel that the vintage dirtbike scene has a super high percentage of decent and honest(at least to each other) people. There are douchebags but they seem to find their way out the door.
Im happy you found some kind of resolution there Barkhard. It has been a long time coming.

Hi Paul I've tried reaching out with no success. I've gotten statements (Emails) from several of the guys and will be going to the Sherriff with everything Saturday. Kindly would you reach out at 281-750-1705 or my Email at james.strawn@sbcglobal.net? I don't think I have either your current Email or cell. Chris

Is it the same guy that just posted in Bazzar chasing a KHI gear set?

I responded.

It's distressing, Tim is *still* running his "DX coating" scam. I thought he had moved 100% to RC car scams because dirt bikes had gotten too hot but nope, he's still getting people on the DX. I'm sure there's other stuff, too, there is no touching bottom with this guy. It's actually (I'm not bullshitting) horrifying.. that I have known someone this removed from any sense of morality.

Over the last week, I've found out a bunch of additional stuff about Tim. He's been running scams, cons and stealing out of the San Antonio area, for years now. There is just so much $hit, like altering VINs, passing parts off as factory, stealing from dealerships where he worked... It goes on and on. Last night for example I spoke with someone fairly well-known in our community Tim got for 3 bikes and a bunch of KHI stuff. None of this even begins to address the incredible layering of lies upon lies upon lies he told folks.

Keep contacting me guys, all this is going to the law enforcement people (unless you tell me otherwise).

I have started the process (actually last weekend) and will be posting updates as these can be posted. For reasons of moving this whole thing foward I would ask that folks refrain from specific questions at this time. Don't worry. I'll be in touch guys!

Tim screwed me over in 2011, I kinda gave up on the battle because I did not realize that I was not the only victim. Chris, I am thrilled to see that you are persuing reconciliation, and I am willing to join in on it.
