I don't get why this guy gets a free pass from people in the moto industry.

All business aside he's a pretty exciting dude.
I mean who would let an 11 year old kid drive a repossessed car 40+ miles on busy SoCal freeways by himself.

I heard he was also drunk and that's why he fled

Here's a partial list of industry people I asked to help. Mike Alessi, Clark Jones, David Pingree, Jeff Emig, Tom Webb, Gary Denton, Racer X, Dirt Bike and MXA.

Mike told me to ask his Dad to help me. Nothing.

Clark said he'd talk to hi. Nothing.

Jeff Emig, I don't want to get involved.

David Pingree. He's a good dude, he'll get it done.

Tom Webb ,Denton and the mags. No replies.

I had the police go twice to see if he was even open. They told him to get the work done.

Better Business Bureau was a joke. We'll make a not of that.

The BAR was finally successful in getting it done after two years.


An option since he's in California is to have the EPA go after him. I was told he basically just dumps old oil etc out behind the shop. and since he's a motor shop he's not supposed to have gas on site. I don't know the rules.

I'm surprised Varner hasn't received a "tune-up" himself.

I’d does seem amazing a tune up has not happened.

Pingree’s reply cracks me up, reminds me of one of the owners of a manufacturing company I used to work for. He opened accounts for certain wholesalers because they were “great guys,” not from what was on their credit applications and references.

Our accounts receivable had a difficult time collecting payments from a lot of those “great guys.”

Also amazed nobody has battered him yet.

Big shout to the guys who've at least swung by there for others to take a look or try and get stuff back for people though, that's a true service to the moto community, good work.

His son passed away at Glen Helen 7-20-11. This car repo was a week later. not to excuse him but sure he wasn't in a good place. I'm sure his life after that accident has been tough. No excuse for what's been done.

So basically no excuse, but here is an excuse?
I'm not being insensitive or cold, we have lost a child in my immediate family....it didn't turn anybody into lying cheating dirtbags.
If you want to find an excuse you'll always be able to find one.
It's easy to communicate with customers....
He lost a child and then put someone else's child in danger.

I lost my son three years ago and amazingly ive managed to not start shitting on people and become dishonest. Im saying that with thick sarcasm btw.
Earlier in this thread a few people chimed in about losing kids and not becoming instant piles of shit. Someone commented that not everyone grieved the same so we shouldnt judge him so harshly.

Well, MXA stepped up and called out Varner a little bit at least. Just saw this on Facebook when they posted their latest video:

The third 125 engine builder in the "Pasha 150SX Engine Builder Shootout" is Terry Varner. He is a controversial figure, with, at the very least, a poor work ethic or worse. Pasha included his engine to help Terry turn his life around. Click the link to watch the video and read more about the decision Pasha made for each builder and each part used in this three bike shootout.

No surprise that an industry guy refuses to acknowledge the POS type of behavior Terry continues to do and will try to make other people look dumb for calling out his shady business practices.

While making sure all of his buddies are taken care of. There is no excuse for it and anyone trying to defend him at this point is losing my respect.

Well, it sounds like Pasha included him to help him get back on his feet and Pasha and MXA acknowledge he has definitely lost his way. Maybe he will turn it around??

Last I knew he’s been doing Pasha’s 2 strokes for years.

The guy already has more work then he can handle. How is this helping him get back on his feet.

Turn it around? Turn what around, exactly?

His complete lack of accountability for the overwhelmingly terrible "business" practices? This isn't something that got out of hand, he's a dirt bag stealing from the "poor" (not really the poor, just the people who aren't the Alessis or similar) to give to the industry bros.

The fact he is getting ANY exposure is pathetic.
