Wall of SHAME!!!!

ZRXOA has a wall of fame and a wall of shame. I feel it my civic duty to report a business that if you happen upon the Chicagoland area NEVER to patronize. EPE MOTORCYCLES.
This guy has been dicking around with my bike FOR THREE YEARS. Why, you might ask? No, it's definitely not for lack of payment. I paid this inute a whole year before I got frustrated and pulled the plug on this idiot. I don't have any idea how idea how in the Sam Hill he has stayed afloat screwing his customers all these years.
I got my bike back and he was acting as if it were his bike. He then was about to say how he didn't want me to take the bike because I didn't have cash to pay for it but he had a credit card machine. I told him that I didn't waste my gas and my time to put my trailer on my car to get a bike that I was going home empty handed. Told him that unless he wanted serious trouble he was going to have some serious troubles that night if I wasn't taking MY BIKE home. He wouldn't give me real receipt or the rest of my parts and now won't return my phone calls. I got another guy to call him and he answered and when I spoke up and told him I was wanting my parts back he swore at me and threatened my life if I went by his place of business to take back what is mine! What a piece of work this guy is. So now I am relegated to take him to court. I have a parts list that totals five grand of the parts he still owes me if I were to replace with new.

DO NOT EVEN EVER CONSIDER TAKING YOUR BIKE TO EPE MOTORCYCLES EVER! He defrauded a man out of his z1r because there were some issues of nonpayment. BS I say. The guy probably got upset he was taking so long and decided to get his bike back. BUT now that it has been in his shop he tacked on storage fees. He is an incompetent fool who will be caught up with the karma he has created. To your face he is a nice guy and appears to know what he is talking about. Stay clear of Yianni the Greek Dirty F'er. He will rob you blind. My main goal right now is to put him out of business before he robs anyone else. If you know of this guy or anyone thinking about taking your bike there please give them a heads up. This problem I am having no one ever even your worst enemy needs to deal with. Several people on this board know him through me and know that I am an honest guy and would never have an issue that I can't resolve directly with a person. This guy is one step away from jail time.

Sorry to hear that man.

Wow! To add insult to injury take a look at the 3rd picture in the link. Is he using your bike as an ad for his great KZ1000 service and knowledge? :blink:

Isn't this the guy you use to be in love with, and rode all over the place with, and was second to none when it came to mechanics, and the 80 year old ladies wanted him to make them pillow biters? Blah blah blah.....

Know any of the O L's

Just when you think you know someone and this.... Sorry bud!

And yes, does come off as a nice guy with a passion & knowledge of KZ's...
For others, I met Yianni when at Sax's during a business trip a couple years ago....

Hope it works out for ya...

That sucks L. I'm glad you got the bike back though.
Good luck with getting your parts back.

Karma's a bitch , he'll get what's coming sooner or later.

Why, yes sir, he most certainly is. A few people told me about this guy. I never believed but now I see its true.
This is what adds even more insult to injury. I trusted in him. Find out he charged me twice for parts, my parts disappeared, padded my bill, how many other countless things besides refusing to return my parts... list goes on. I thinks he knows a little about bikes, sure but I think he couldn't pay his bills or something so resulted to smarmy practices. When I saw the changes in his personality I should have seen it coming. He stole this guys Z1R! Who does things like that?
He is a loser. I was understanding for a long time why he was always taking so long on my bike but now I realize it's cause he doesn't really have serious engine building skills.

Does that make me an idiot for trusting a person you thought was a friend? At some point in time you figure out who your true friends are. I am not in any way putting up a drama story, all I am doing is to say,"for those of you considering taking your bike to a shop to get it worked on just a heads up" now I know most of you guys probably will never take your bike to a shop but I on the other hand did. No more. I learned my lesson. Next bike build that happens I will be wrenching on it myself.

He won't even be a man about it and face up to me. What kind of person is that?

so let me get this straight...dont go there?

something has you unhappy?
