Best place for used parts matt was very helpful Thanks for the clutch plates. Would be glad to return some people think good prices and used parts are the end all fix all but they better know what they are lookin for or they will be un happy

P.O.S. he sold parts off my bike then had the balls to tell me it never had them on it oh and he never fixed the problem with my bike i later did i wish i had never went there and lost so much time money and my parts i had love to kick the owner in the mouth but you have to do time but that damn sob can lie cheat and STEAL.....really just dont ever go there

On 10-25-14 I bought a Yamaha Raptor 660 ATV from Mike Landry (owner) of Road Hawk Cycle. The bill of sale lists Road Hawk Cycle as owner. I paid $2100, and Mr. Landry said the ATV was in good shape; nothing wrong with it that he knew of. Part of the deal also included him later to give me (as he didn't have them at his place of business where the ATV was purchased) 2 sand tires on rims, and a protective skid plate (total value of about $300 as used parts). He mentioned he also just changed the oil and bought a new battery for it (and he gave me the receipt for the new battery).



After buying it I noticed he had very poor reviews on Yelp (and a D- with the BBB), for shoddy work and not giving customers what they purchased. After trying for a few weeks to arrange to pick up the tires and skid plate, Landry finally told me it would be impossible because someone stole them (supposedly, my loss). (Since he's in the surplus business, he can re-sale these for profit, if he even had them as he claimed.) Given his reviews, I wasn't surprised. What I thought was a good deal now looked pretty bad.



Since Landry has such bad reviews, I had a pro mechanic check out the ATV. The exam showed $1,899 repairs are needed, as a partial exam because they couldn't even get the ATV to idle. (When I purchased the ATV, I did test ride it about 200 ft., as Landry seemed to show frustration over the need for a road test and there wasn't much land to test ride it). The pro mechanic examiner said that after some repairs are made, additional checks could be made, such as a test ride. This deal went from "bad" to "horrible."



Some of the major problems:

-- Matt bought a new battery, but it is the wrong type. Battery needs correct replacement

-- The radiator has rust in it, and there was no reservoir cap. It looks like a 4 inch hole was self-repaired and probably incorrectly repaired. The radiator needs to be replaced.

-- The swing-arm is damaged and needs replacement (bearings, bush, shaft, etc)

-- Clutch repairs (plates, springs, and gaskets)

-- Rear brake (bent rotor, cable, hose, disk, pad, etc.)

-- Dirty oil



He said "You can trust me because my business reputation rides on it." Little did I know his business reputation was already shot.

Dec 07 we sent the funds to Road Hawk for a motor cycle frame. We drove to portland to pick up the same month and discovered it was the wrong frame. They assured us that they would find a the correct one right away. Feb 08 they still did not have the frame. We requested via certified mail a full refund. We have called numerous times and been told the check was in the mail. As of today March 31st we still have not recieved our refund. Now it appears we will have to go to small claims court.
