Looking for Victims of Dr.Vtwinn in St.Leonard

[RoseRed]

When your man enough to give that slap - down beating as you mentioned, please let me know. I am sure with your contact via DVT, you can find me very easy.

Where can I buy tickets for this event?

All he said was public knowledge, no specific information was mentioned.

APS,the obvious thing about this HD Rider is that he/she did not have an account until I posted about the shop, I highly doubt this person even owns a bike or for that matter ever riden one. If this individual actually took the time to read the previous post he would have figured it out that the discussion from my point of view was showing the brotherhood of all bikers no matter what type of bike you ride or what color you wear. Of course all other posters on this thread got it....

Bet they have a HD sticker in the back window of their pickup

You wouldn't believe the number of times somebody has given me grief about riding a jap bike, telling me the ONLY real bike is a HD. When I ask what model they ride, it's "I don't have one, but if I did..." Kerist, I'd rather ride a 90cc Honda, than sit on the porch and wish I had a HD.

A little off topic but did they find TrpleJ when they drained the Lake?

There are 3 metrics in the club, the rest of the 160 members all run Harleys, of course we get grief in a joking manner. My 1st bike 30 years ago was a Harley, it was stolen, went to a virago until I went back to a Harley which my ex wife got, decided enough was enough, went back to metric and been there ever since.

My husband took his bike there also and will not do it again. He took it in for it's 10,000 maintenance and a new rear tire. Ray told him he didn't have AMSoil and my husband told him that was okay because he didn't want it any ways. Well it cost him almost $600 and he didn't notice until he got it home that AMSoil was put in it. It's just the fact that he was told not to put it in there and he did anyway. Once you put that in there you can't go back to regular oil. My husband took it a couple of months ago for it's 15,00o maintenance to Dave and had a front tire put on. It cost $200 less than what Dr. VTwin had charged. Dave found one of the bolts had been stripped on the derby cover. Dr. VTwin was the last ones to work on it. Dave fixed it and didn't even charge him for it. He found several other little things and fixed them without charge. My husband has recommended Dave to a lot of his friends and everyone has been very pleased with him. And he doesn't charge an arm and a leg like Dr VTwin did. I like the people in Dr. VTwin but I don't think the shop does a good job.

Sure you can, they make synthetic blended oil which is a combo of synthetic and dino. No problem switching back

Thank you for this information, it drives home what I have been stating all along. At no time did I mix personalities with the business yet because of family ties, they deemed it necessary. Ray and his GF are nice people, but I think when it comes to the quality of work that they turn out it just has alot to be desired.

 

[JS HDRIDER]

Always two sides to every story. Seems to be a difference here as well.

I dont understand why people cant just tell the truth. There is always to sides to every story and it seems that we have yet another difference of opinion.

Interesting comment since we all see another person with issues with DVT has stepped into the mix. There is only 1 side to this story, take your bike to Dan in Mechanicsville and not only get your monies worth but quality as well.

Well let's start off with your husband got the tire 15% off and the labor was about 1.5hr to install the tire and at the time the labor rate was $54.95 so that totals $82.43 and the labor for the 10k service was around $350 which is more expensive than a 15k service because there is more being done in the 10k then the 15k. The synthetic parts run anywhere from $80 to $100. The total of the bill was $531..... hmmm less then $600. Ray has been an amsoil dealer since before he even moved his business there so why would he tell anybody he doesn't have it. It is a very good oil and in most cases better for your bike. The mechanic I spoke to recently (not Ray) told me that it is a very common thing that all mechanics know derby cover bolts tend to strip very easily and know mechanic will blame hiself so who knows who did it. But if you would of taken that to Ray and told him I am sure he would have given you a bolt.

Don and Ray are pretty good friends and he has contact with him. It's kind of funny how he has never mentioned these things being a problem to him.

I go to Doktor V-Twin often and see people in and out all day, rarely hear complaints in the shop but wow so many outside of it. Whatever, I'm not going for it, Ray has treated me right from day one and he has done the same for the rest that I have seen. He is a new business and has a few things he does want to change but for the most part it's going fine.

Excuse me folks this is a little off subject. But Mike leave me out of your little private message sh*t. I'm not on here telling your last name, address and what you are all about. We don't even have an uncle/nephew relationship, so why would you act like it by emailing someone my personal business "Well that's my nephew and his last name is...and he..." are you serious dude, get a life.
I read a forum where you said Kat has cancer, if that is true you need to be worried about your wife at home and not what thread you are are going to post next.

WOW, and that comment is again from someone that only joined the forum due to my original post. Now lets see, I have letters from over 10 people not including the ones posted on here that are all negative comments. If you really want to look at the numbers, I guess if DVT services 500 bikes per year and only 10 give or take have issues then thats not bad numbers. However I think one of the issues with dealing with them is that nothing is ever thier fault nor does anyone step forward in admiting fault nor is fixing the issues on his dollar. Now I could go into the bait and switch tactics but I have talked about that in the past post.

Now I have delt with Atlantic, SMCity and a couple other smaller shops, when things dont go right, they have admitted and fixed the issues without reservation. DVT is a distributor of AMSOIL, and I have not seen any difference in the riding with that or regular lubes. I change mine every month since I put over 5000 a month during peak riding times. Alittle less when the cold weather comes in.

 

[tat2billy]

Sorry Bill someone thought they went to school with you, besides your right, you have been written off by both families, kinda like a bad penny...

Who are the two families?

So why again are you deleting your messages. Are you ashamed of what you write?? Just curious.

Ray did tell him that day that he didn't have any AMSoil in stock and my husband told him that was okay because he didn't want it any ways. My husband didn't end up saying anything because there was no going back after it was done and he didn't notice until after he got home. He picked up his bike and left because he had an appointment that day and the bike had been promised to him the day before but it wasn't ready. I coudn't remember the exact total but knew it was more than $500 and less than $600. As far as screws for the derby cover. It wasn't discovered until it was taken for the next service on it. It had been to All American for the initial 5,000 maintenance service. If All American had stripped it why didn't Ray's mechanic notice it and just fix it. It's not about the bolt, it's the fact that Ray's mechanic didn't fix it whether he did it or not. It's really not that big a deal that you would have to call the owner and ask if it should be fixed. The reputation of the guy that works on the bike now is very good and if he had stipped it he would have told him that he stripped it and said he fixed it.
