Hi All,
Just thought I'd share this this you.
Some of you may know that I'm currently building two ZXR400 H2's one as a toy for the road and the other as a track bike.
Anyway I am building the road bike first and have had several parts with a powder coater since Christmas Eve.
Wednesday I popped in to see him and he said it should all be finished either later that week or early this. As of Thursday I still hadn't heard anything so I sent him an email asking when would be convenient to collect the parts. This is the reply I received this morning,
Hi Darren
Come early today been trying to keep everyone happy the previous two weeks been working two shifts to keep up, 6am until 4pm then delivering until 6pm grabbing a bite to eat and retuning until 10pm. The cold I had the last few days has turned into a chest infection got some pills from the doctor to shake it off as quickly as possible. I have been up all night coughing then trying to do a days work this has become too hard. I am way behind with the corporate customers as well as public work will need to ask you to wait until I get a chance. If you cannot wait any longer I will understand if you need to remove the parts for a faster service else where. I do remember the conversation about the plastics can’t see any way of putting in more hours. Your parts will stop everything dead as they are not a quick job to do if you want to achieve a nice job. They will probably be the last motor cycle parts I will take on I had to quit the polishing for good last summer for the same reasons.
The last eight years I have been quiet from Christmas until Easter I had no indication that this year would be any different and I had no trouble servicing the motor bike bits during theses times, it also worked out well for the customers too because this was the time their bikes were off the road, unfortunately this has not happened this year I have been hit hard with work right from the first day of January also some of my corporate customers are way overdue with their accounts and are using this to push in front of everyone else if I upset them I will have to close my doors its taken years to win them and I only wish I new how hard it was going to be to get paid in a reasonable time. The work volume is too much for one person and I am very grateful to have it. I need to find some help it’s been enjoyable watching my business grow but the present situation is far from it.
I’m never too sick to work the last time I visited a doctor was in 1998 so I was today just proves it happens to us all and at the worst possible time.
Speak to you soon
Many Thanks
John
