Injured Riders in Need bike build.

Any one from Texas know anything about this? Bikes are being built and raffled off with proceeds going to Texas injured riders?

Are you speaking of the Rider down 250 Maico that was just raffled off?

Or Is this something different?

That was just raffled off? WTF, when are you delivering it or am I going to have to come pick it up?

I spoke with a gentleman this afternoon and he said they are going to be building a bike a month to be raffled off for Injured Riders In Need or IRIN.

They are putting together a RM250 right now.

The guys name is Tim Taylor and his shop is in Bulvarve just North of San Antonio TX if that helps. He said something about the local Cycle Gear was selling the tickets for the previous build.

Thanks. I do take pride in my work.

Just so that everyone is clear how the IRIN works, the "profits" from the builds go to local injured riders. The remainder goes back into the next bike to be built.

I build these in my Spare time when I am waiting on parts for customers bikes, etc.

The RM is now on ebay. The reserve of 4k has been reached.

I still have some of the old plastics with ECC graphics on them. Also have the works pipe that was on it. It is pretty wasted with a ton small dents. Can be fixed though. I may also have the single ring piston from it. Not sure though.

If anyone has any questions, please feel to get my contact info from the ebay listing.

Thanks

Why resurrect a long-dead thread?

1) Tim Taylor has resurfaced and has been trying to swindle someone I've done business with on some KHI hubs. He's been using the name "TJ" (the initials of his first and middle name) and "STMX" (or variants of this, his "shop") or "718" (his local race number) on VintageBikeAds. Been also doing this on eBay. Other folks in the Spring Branch area have alerted me that he's become active again (see below).

2) I've come to know a number of people from the Spring Branch, TX, area (i.e., a small town just outside of San Antonio), and none of them ever heard anything else about this bike or the proceeds after the raffle. The consensus amongst everyone is that this was another one of Tim's scams.

The rule is, stay away from anyone who even remotely resembles this guy's profile if you are approached. If you have any questions, post here, the dude has so many victims and such a poor reputation that anyone will be happy to help you find out who you are dealing with.

Ole Timmy back in action again. He takes about a 3-5 month and comes back. It'll get him eventually!
