DO NOT BE FOOLED BY FAKE VANSON'S SOLD "NEW" ON EBAY, THEY ARE A SCAM! If you have doubt, call the…read morecompany directly and ask them if the product is legit. I usually don't write reviews, but I feel one is warranted. Vanson makes the best leather jackets for the money, no contest. New jackets from others in the $300-500 price range are not worth the money, quality of leather, stitching, and fit / design is subpar. These guys make jackets meant to last a lifetime, and survive motorcycle crashes, and they've been doing it since 1974. They also just fit better. Be patient on items not in stock, and you will be glad you did. There's nothing else out there like it. This is a 5-star product all around, made by a family owned business that knows what they are doing. This is not a big box store offshore produced instant gratification product.

Best leather jackets - bar none. They wear like iron and stay stiff as hell for a while - always…read morethe mark of quality leather. Once it begins to break-in, it has a look like no other. I've been blessed to ride about 40K miles a year for nearly most of my life. I also sell motorcycles and I've worn just about every gear made at one time or another. The guys who really ride? - all wearing Vanson and there are a slew of reasons - too many to list here. My first three Vanson jackets were bought used. It wasn't until I started earning a decent living that I could spend for a new one. New or used, their leather has saved me on some long and hairy slides. Another nice bonus of a Vanson is that their competition weight thickness will keep you dry in a downpour for almost an hour. Their gear can be handed down as an heirloom to the next biker/rider in your family. Worth their weight in gold. They'll bury me in my Vanson.

Gearhead Systems International…read more address: 250 Oakland Beach Ave, Warwick, RI 02889 phone number: (401) 739-0090 This person Ron is a scammer and a thief whereby he charged me $282.00 to tighten the clamp on the gooseneck hose which was not leaking. I told him it was the water pump but he said he pressure tested it and nothing was leaking. That was an outright lie as there was a larger puddle in the middle of my car right underneath the water pump (weep hole). Upon speaking to him via telephone he began using foul perverted language at me as I can corroborate every word verbatim. I asked him if he was going to correct the problem and he kept using the same line, 'I pressure tested it'. I said it was still leaking (water pump) and I wished to have the problem rectified. He made no mention of bringing the car back in. I'm filing a complaint with my bank card and may move further to file additional complaints. In addition, Ron charged me $126.00 to replace a carburetor fuel filter whereas I provided the fuel filter and nylon gasket. He said his rate is $110.00 an hour. How did he come up with $126.00? We would strongly advise everyone not to take in their car to the crooked establishment pretending to be an automotive repair facility. Take your car in at your own risk and beware of the snakes in the grass. Gearhead is looking to entrap the unsuspecting. "DO NOT GO THERE". *** This place described as Gearhead DIY Super Center is a fictitious name whereby the Better Business Bureau has them listed as "Gearhead Systems International". The business is falsifying the name and using false advertisement and misrepresentation. *** The five star reviews are most likely fictitious/ fake. We're unto this place scamming others. DATE OF TRANSACTION: 01-18-2025 Amount Paid To Business : $282.00 Business Provided TO Fix the Problem Nature of Dispute Business has not tried to resolve the issue at all, only using vulgar perverted language directed at me when I asked to bring the car back in. Ron made no mention of fixing the problem as he diagnosed the problem incorrectly. I brought him the water pump, three gallons of antifreeze, and a lower water pump hose. Ron quoted the price at $330.00. I said o.k. Upon bringing my vehicle in Ron said he would check the water pump to be sure. He called me a day later and said the gooseneck hose was loose and it was not the water pump. That was an outright lie as the anti-freeze was leaking right out below the water pump. When I picked up my car I was given the bill. The following day I called and told Ron there was a big puddle of anti-freeze right under my car in the middle where the water pump is located. Ron was adamant in saying that it was the hose (an outright lie). The hose was never leaking (Gooseneck Hose) as there would have been signs of antifreeze which there is not or never was. By the way, all my calls are logged and recorded as I can corroborate every word verbatim; "Including Ron's vulgar foul language". I told Ron I was filing a complaint and Ron said Go Ahead using vulgar language. I'm seeking the entire amount of $282.00 returned back to my bank card. I sent them an email requesting my funds be returned in the amount of $282.00 They never responded. All phone calls were logged and recorded to corroborate every word verbatim. On 1-28-2025 North Providence Tire installed a 'leaking' water pump in the amount of $475.95 Account Number: 399149. I was scammed out of $282.00 by a thief that did not perform any work. This business should be investigated. We filed a complaint with the Attorney General for the State of Rhode Island, the Better Business Bureau and with my bank card. Ronald Joseph Long has not responded back to any. *** In response to the liar Cheryl. I did not call three days later. Actualy, I called the next day in that "My Calls Are Logged and Recorded" : "Metadata intact". These people are nothing more than "scammers". These people specialiaze in lies. My vehicle was the lead vehicle in the 1997 Oldsmobile Birthday Celebration in 1997 as it has trophies and plaques. Here is a link to my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPyKeEEsHaI *These people are in for a rude awakening. ** Ron is nothing more than a 'punk' as I m a prior veteran of the United States Marine Corps. In addition, Ron is the "liar" as he surely must be on medication and/or drugs. Don't forget Ron I have you on audio with your perverted filthy language. I do not speak in that fashion and again "The Audio Logs " can substantiate the "FACTS". ADDENDUM: "By the way ALL of our 5 stars are ligit". They are not only liars, they cannot even spell or comprehend the meaning of anything "LIGIT" is "LEGIT" IDIOTS! Supplement: The scammers Gearhead) did not answer the Better Business Bureau Complaint (Enclosed) !

Visited this place in October with a coworker we both bought Segway scooters for our commute to…read morework. My coworker took his right on the spot. Mine wasn't ready. I was told to come back tomorrow. I tried calling the next day, but nobody answered the phone so I showed up they didn't remember me. I told him I had purchased a scooter yesterday with my coworker, and then they went to look for it and they said it still wasn't ready and they needed to charge it . I came back the following day called again. No answer showed up didn't know who I was again reminded him an went to get my scooter ready for me to take one problem, though there was no charger with the brand new scooter. He could not find it. So he gave me a charger from behind the counter fast forward to today, May 5, 2026. I tried calling again no answer so I drove in. Doors were locked. Lights are on went to the front and back entrance. No sign of anyone one last check I see the guy who sold me the scooter in the window. I motion to him to come over. He comes over. he lets me in. I tell him about my scooter, he tells me to bring it in. I told him the back brake is no longer working, and my rear tire was making a grinding noise. He told me I could leave it to fill out my information before leaving. I asked him when he thought somebody would be able to take a look at it and he told me about a month. He stated the technician wasn't in today and that they had a backlog of scooters that needed to be repaired, which he pointed to in the corner and then told me there was multiple down in the basement of the same model. I told him that wasn't an option for me to wait over a month and that the scooter is still under warranty for another five months he tried to refer me to a scooter shop in Cambridge, which I live nowhere near and not paying for something that was under warranty. I then asked him what to do and he told me to call Segway the scooter company. And then again referred me to the scooter shop in Cambridge, which I had to reiterate that was not an option and I am not paying for something that is still under warranty. I asked him for Segway's number which he told me he did not have and to "Google it". My only dealings with this place twice have not been good and not the best customer service to say the least. Scooters were $1100 with tax and are under warranty for another five months and they are telling me I have to wait over a month to even get it looked at. Unacceptable!

I took a basic welding class to make a barn star at the Garrison Speed Shop in Mendon,…read moreMassachusetts. I have never welded before or used some of the tools and equipment required. The template pieces were all laid out, but that was it. Co-founder Luke had me read and sign all the releases first, and asked about my experience with welding etc. Being a Veteran myself, Luke as well, and the non-profit supporting Veterans and First Responders, he also made sure to ask me if loud noises or anything would bother me. Every step was explained and demonstrated before I was able to do it, and as nervous as I was at first, it quickly went away knowing he took my safety, the safety of others as well as their shop very seriously. Co-founder Ben also provided some muscle when I was unable to bend the metal myself. In just over 2 hours I had sanded, measured, re-measured, bent , hammered and welded together a really cool one of a kind 5-sided barn star. It was definitely something different to do and it was a really cool and fun experience. 5 stars !
