Felony Customs
according to Shawn

I made reference to this shop in a previous article when I was bitching about the shit with Chopper shops.  
As i stated before, Kris and i took a ride over to check out this place.  There we met with Curt, and Joe,
who apparently are/were the owners.  Curt has since been sent off to prison for what we were told had
something to do with him, an older man, and a prostitution charge (but that's just possibly a rumor, you
didn't hear it from us).

Joe kept quiet as he usually does during our meeting, while Curt bullshitted us the whole time.  The don't
have anything except a bunch of Snap On tools, that were no doubt financed on someone's overextended
credit, and a Custom Chrome account.  They're building kit bikes, not custom choppers.  There is a
difference people.  We pretty much blew off and made jokes on the way home about the stuff they told us
that we knew was bullshit from the jump, and figured we could work with them even if just on a paint level.  
They did even have some sportbike customers, and since they don't have the parts accounts to supply
them with what they're looking for, they'd call us for the chrome windscreens, and rearsets, and whatever
else they needed.

But then there was a problem.  a Honda cbr that they brought over and let sit for a month, dancing around
the matter of giving us the required deposit for materials so we could get started.  They finally paid it, we
ordered the paint.

But, they lied to the customer who's bike we were painting. They told Pete some bullshit, that his bike was
done, when they hadn't even paid us for the materials and the required deposit to start the fucking thing.  
So next thing we know, there's a pissed off Puerto Rican guy in our shop on his Nextel calling someone
tearing them a new asshole on the phone about them lying to him.  Telling us that Joe at Felony told him
we were the reason the bike wasn't finished. They also planned on taking credit for the paint job. Now ain't
that some shit?

They were also planning on charging him double for a one color job.  So i put down the artwork for the
same price.  So they tried to rip him off, so we hooked him up.  

The guys at Felony are such geniuses, that they installed the wrong  jet kit on the bike that was dumping
way too much fuel, flooding the fucking thing.  So then we couldn't get it to start when it was time for Pete
to pick up the bike.

Felony owed Pete a big refund, which they weren't happy about having to cough up.  Especially after
having the few bikes or excuse me, they're supposed to be called "choppers" returned to them because of
them catching on fire, blowing up, whatever.  So we had a talk with Joe.  Kris pretty much told him what a
joke his shop was, and the hole they're digging themselves into by operating the way they do.  Joe was in
tears as he told us the heart-wrenching story about how much money he lost because of having to give
those guys they're hard earned money back for a fucking rolling hazard that could have potentially killed
them.

We report the facts as we see them.  I don't feel compelled to write something for the sole purpose of
trying to trash my competition.  We don't have much, and there is none locally that can offer what we can.  
I feel the need to report what happens, when it happens.  If you think this is the case, check out their
website. Or what there is of it. And then check back every few weeks.  The same shit is there.  Moved
around.  They have no style, no taste.  The owner doesn't even own a motorcycle of his own.  Some of the
paint jobs that have been popping up on their site closely resemble paint jobs we put out last year.  But
that's just a coincidence, right?
i just received an email from a customer of theirs. Well, a previous customer of theirs. So just so you
people know this isn't just from my point of view:

comments = I've Dealt With Felony Customs I felt they were half assed and bullshitted about all kinds
of shit. I drove like 4 hours to get a few parts off them when I finally got there nobody was running shit.
I drove all the way back to my spot pissed ,but I'm a pretty determined person when I need a part so I
gave them another chance and took another trip down there the following weekend. They told me
before I did all this shit that they had a clear title frame and when I got there to get shit done they gave
me some shitty story about the guy being out of town and I couldn't get shit.I gotta go through getting
a reconstructed title and all that pain in the fucking neck. Great Service From Felony......pfft~ Walk on
with all that shit.They Told Me That Story About Them Having To Give Money Back To Some Guy
Cause They Got Ripped By Some People.I didn't have a clue or really cared I just wanted my shit to
get out.Shady Business...
