Any issues with importing from Canada?

What sort of parts? Rear sets? Frame sliders? Bar ends? What sort of finishing is needed? Rough idea of quantity?

Thanks for responding. Pictures of the parts to be made can be viewed on our MySpace page at www.MySpace.com/CycleOpsUSA.com. If you e-mail me at cycleopsusa@gmail.com I can send the DFX files.

Do you have any details/sketches of your parts?

Adding a link to your Myspace page isn't helping much....

I currently manufacture bike accessories and have capacity, but it depends on your definition of "volume". My definition is between two and a few thousand. What's yours?

Hi,

The my space page doesn’t have any parts on it that I can see.

Please email me with quantities, finish, and CAD files.

Thanks

I think CycleOpsUSA should read "Posting RFQ"

http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6772

It takes enough unpaid time to quote machining with out having to hunt and guess what in the heck someone wants machined.

To the three guys pissing and moaning about my post to see the items in myspace, no worries. I've had more than enough responses from professionals who I have gladly forwarded my photos and DXF files. If you guys spend more time complaining instead of responding properly to posts, I want to thank you now for not bothering to contact me for the work. Since this is the first time I've been on here and not knowing all the right protocols, I have to say I'm glad those who responded did, and that you guys didn't. If you're that unprofessional now, I can only imagine what it would have been like to deal with any of the three for the long haul! Enough said? I think so.

Hey, wadda ya' know, I at least got the emoticons right!!

Ken Shea, you just couldn't help yourself and go away quietly with your tail between your legs, could you? Fit's your obvious personality issues like your first post. Why don't you change your name to Richard Cranium, I think it more befitting of you.
Others had no problem requesting the information, of which it was promptly provided immediately. It's obvious you have more time on your hands to play and troll this site since you obviously have issues with getting enough work to keep you otherwise busy. No need for you to vist this thread any further. Your continued baby shi+ is not welcomed.

First off I didn't know I was pissin and moanin. But I have plenty of work I was just curious because I happen to "Live, Breathe, Sleep, Eat and Ride motorcycles. It's my favorite passion and I'd love to do some custom parts. But if I gotta run here and there and register on a site (in my view) like the one you sent me to. Who would want the business....???
I get most of my work from Manufactursquote.com of which you have to pay an annual fee of $2500.00 just to give Quotes. Where you can compete with others for REAL WORK.. If you are serious advertise there not here.


You don't need to be callin us unprofessional when your approch comes straight from the gutter youtube? ? ?


I wasn't really going to say anything else but I didn't want you to dare think I'm running off with a Tail between my legs.


OK, look. Let's clear this up civily. I'll respond to your comments one by one.

First of all, my reply above was clearly adressed to Ken Shea, not you. You want to answer for him? Fine.
Secondly, you may frequent this site, but keep in mind many coming here for the first time seeking a machinist don't have the site navigation down as you guys do.
If for a minute you think the posts you guys made were professional, then it's obvious why you've got nothing better to do. As for the MySpace page we put up, from the gutter as you put it, you're obviousy uninformed as to how it is not only for kids and dating anymore, but it also has grown into communities of like minded people and business networking for groups like motorcyclists/bikers. As my webpage is under construction and not yet completed I needed a place to post our products. Secondly, if you follow and read the thread, I put that link up as someone requested to see the stuff and didn't give me an e-mail address to send it to. FYI, in only a few short days I've received several inquiries and a few orders through there. It may not be for you, but if it brings in orders and interest, as a business owner should I not market myself where it works? Should I not attempt to gain more business in any reasonable manner possible? Is my success not also going to help the machinist I choose succeed as well? Open your mind and not your mouth, you'll benefit from it as will others.
I would think that we have something in common in bikes since you you "Eat, Sleep, and Live" bikes and would "LOVE" to make custom parts like you said that you would have approached me with a simple PM and I would have forwarded you the files. Did you, no. You chose to toss BS out there instead.
You comment of who would want the business simply because I also post my stuff on MySpace is ignorant to say the least, simply stupid at best. By the 23 guys who contacted me for the files with interest in doing our work, I'd say the answer to your question is obviously plenty of smart businessmen.
You obviously also like to contradict yourself. One one hand you say you'd LOVE to do some custom bike parts, and then on the other hand you refer to my stuff as somehow not "REAL WORK". Is $30-40K worth of initial runs on the parts nothing? With obvious potential within the first year for that to triple or more with the phenominal response we're getting to our products? If you haven't seen what we're doing you should do your homework before spewing your small minded thoughts.
As for your $2,500 expense to quote work on the other site that's great. I spend $200,000+ a year advertising my yacht brokerage company, so if you think that impressed me, sorry, it doesn't. You obviously have me mistaken for someone going in on a shoestring bugdet to do work. You've vastly underestimated our capability to be running out of the gate instead of walking out of it like many others who you probably quote work for. Too bad for you, good for me. Why, you say to yourself? Because I'm the kind of strong and loyal customer that brings success and income to those I work with without hassles and the BS that many I'm sure give you. The only reason I took the time to go through all this is so that maybe in the future, for your own sake, you'll approach people in a manner that 1) You don't pre-judge them before knowing the facts, and 2) That you yourself may actually succeed some day due to improved customer relations, which is, whether you'll accept it or not, is a skill you're seriously lacking.

Well Mr. Whateveryournameis, I believe you are the one that said "Enough said? I think so." and not me.

My personality issues have been developed over time from people just like you, who seem to have no aversion to wasting other's time, especially when you are not paying them. I hope for some landlords sake that you do not rent a place where all utilities are paid.
You would do well to remember that the world is not all about you and that you are not doing people that you require information for free from, any favors. Perhaps you may be able to treat them better now to make yourself look better.

I will continue to argue my point as long as it effects me, not much you can do about that. I just voiced what others feel but who decided to let it alone.
UPDATE: Well Mr. Whateveryournameis, I see another view on your, lets say opinions.


I have no aversion to wasting people's time? You don't know me, so I'll simply write off that assanine blanket statement of yours to you not taking your meds this morning.As for renting, sorry dude, I'm not like you. I can afford to buy and own, I don't rent. Is ignorance bliss around here, or what? Who ever said the world is about me? Dude, you do have some serious and deeply rooted issues! Did even dogs not play with you as a kid or what, even with a pork chop tied around your neck? You are one of those that will argue no matter what, right or wrong, but I'm sure most often wrong.
You obviously don't get many of the jobs posted for RFQ as with your crappy attitude who would want to do business with someone like you? You want someone' work? Earn it! You're not entitled to get every job you quote, and on this site there have been so many responsive and professional replies to my post I can see where your attitude hurts you and causes the frustration you obviously have built up inside.
FYI... I run a own a fairly successful yacht brokerage company here in Miami. If I didn't respond to each and every inquiry as a professional, I'd be in your shoes... living hand to mouth. You think your time get's wasted? Brother, you don't get wasted nearly what I do. Days on end driving people around looking at boats to only have them not buy at all for whatever reason. To have people not show up for appointments to show a yacht that you had to drive
an hour to get to each way. I know about wasted time and energy, as well as wasted money. Do you think I ask them for gas money after driving them around for days? I'll go through $200 in gas and sometimes, more often than not, end up eating it if they don't buy. I take is as part of doing business and accept it without becoming a cynical detriment to my own success.
Since I came here not looking to do anyone favors as you suggest, for whatever reason, I'll have you know I came here to find a competent machinist who I expect to pay for their work. Is this a 'favor'? Others who read this thread will laugh at you for a long, long, long time to come!

I did. Still no pics of parts.

I didn't see them either but did see a message that said you have to be logged on to do that. So I guess you have to join My Space just to see the pictures.

Don't know..
