REC(tom) SUPPLY suCks Ass

Is it so fucking difficult? I mean I ask you. Quick as I can tell it,
went to rec. needed chain and sprockets for the honda. Why do I ALWAYs get stuck with the biggest douche of them all (you know the guy. never leaves his stool, hat backwards, looks mildly retarded). Hooked me up with a chain and sprockets for $100 less than Powerhouse Honda. Great. haagh. (big sigh) but... The chain is 4 links too short. So Either the catalogue doesn't even have accurate info in it OR this guys is actually dumber than I thought. Went back today got a longer chain for even less money. Fine. HAAGH (BIG SIGH) went to install, no master link. Call RECtom, "There's a screw-up with the fix to your screw-up, screw-up." "Oh well, ah, we don't have any master links in stock.......(long pause) I can probably get one by Thursday!"

and on and on. Someone remind me on a weekly basis, please, that I do NOT want to go back there.

Fall out from Cursed Saturday

So we were not the only ones affected by Saturday. Meatstick came home that very same day to find that his full gas tank had leaked into his crankcase. A bit of investigation found that his vacuum tank valves were not closing so well and some new oil and gas and a trip to PA from La Ronge to prove everything was okay. I heard he has been bootin around PA with some boys so that's great.





On my Side, I've found out that throttle cables for an 84 are not in Rec supply's catalogs and custom cycle has them listed as Discontinued. So I am wondering if any of you mules have ever built a cable. I haven't but would like to know how they get the little ends on so I can just replace the cable on my KLR and use the old cladding.

Douche Bag

So in pursuit of pod filters for my CB 500/550 I thought "Why not check Rec Supply?"

Day 1
Me: Do you have pod filters for a 73 Honda CB500?
DB: You'd have to bring the carb in because they're all different sizes.
Me: Here it is.
DB: Oh. (putzes around looking for a measurer)
DB: (continues to putz around in the back looking for filters)
DB: (gives me 4 filters)
Me: These are the wrong size.
DB: (see step 5...)
Me: They look pretty long to fit in the frame.
DB: They'll fit. Everybody buys these.

Day 2
Me: I bought these filters yesterday and they don't fit.
DB: They are the smallest ones made.
Me: I've seen smaller ones on the internet.
DB: Then you should buy them on the internet.
Me: Could I have my money back then?
DB: The K&N's are bigger.
Me: I'm not asking for K&N's, can I have my money back?
DB: I need you credit card back then............

Just wanted to say thanks Rec Supply for always going the extra mile!

I just bid on some filters on egay that should fit perfect. (Brand new "UNI" filters which Rec Supply can order. They probably even have some in the back)

PS: I went to Custom Cycle looking for an OBSCURE discontinued carb part (for a honda) which they phoned every damned warehouse in N. America and made the guys actually LOOK on the shelves to find one.

F**K you REC. Supply

i think that we need to start a club dedicated to hating rec supply. make shirts, sticker, hold metting and plane attacks. You want to know the story? well have a seat.

i went in there needing a defferent throttle cable. the problem with the one i have is where it threads into the throttle grip well... it doesn't its too big. so i went there with the cable and the throttle body and told the guy what i wanted. it was the duoche bag with a thore hat with his wings coming out and a stupid goaty. ok whats the quesion they always ask? what is the cable off of?

Me: its a custom bike. i just need this same one but with smaller threads

DB: how am i going to find it with no part number?

ME: well one of you guys found this one for me.( which work for my other throttle)

DB: i can give you a number to a guy that can help you.

Me: how did the other guy find this one for me?

DB: he fluked out.

Me: really?!

DB: yeah.

ME: well can you go look in the back for it because i know you guys have it?

DB: we have like 14000 cables back there....

ME: fine i'll go look.

so he came back there with me. i looked for like 15mins while he just stood there.

finaly i said to him i guess i'll have to buy it from ebay. turned around and walked out. Hear me now " If i ever go back to that shit show there is somthing wrong with me!"

so to all you douche Bags at REC. Supply F**k you!

Grumpy Old Man

It may be official. I might be a grumpy old man. Either that or the young punks at Rec Supply really are a bunch of snotty rich kids who are useless without their catalogues.

Conversation (started after standing in front of three employees waiting for them to finish their conversation):

Me: Lookin' for a brake cable for a front drum brake.
Douche Bag: Aahh. Yeah. But what's it from? (hand already on the parts catalogue.)
Me: Well the drum's from an old Bombardier and the lever's from an old triumph.
DB: (looking at DB2) WHAT are ya DOOin'?
Me: building a bike.
DB: (opens catalogue and starts flipping through)
Me: I don't think the catalogue's gonna have a TriBardier section.
DB: (closing the catalogue) well how long do you need it?
Me: I dunno. From the bars to the wheel. How many options are there? 3-4 feet I guess.
DB: (looks at DB2) Wwweellllll....it's gonna kinda be patched together.
Me: (looking at DB2 then back at DB) Yeah. Dude it's already patched together.
DB: Well yer gonna have to bring in the lever and the hub, cuz....
Me: (thinking to myself "cuz yer a useless tit who rides nothing but 2 strokes and lives with his mom and dad in the burbs so you can spend all your money from this gig on bike parts that you buy for cost, hurley wearing mother fucker) Thanks.

Snot nosed punk. I hope you choke on your silver spoon. Give me a smelly old crotch of parts guy to deal with any day. At least he'd sell you something to get you started.
