Who is responsible for these great videos?
« on: March 07, 2013, 05:38:12 PM »
Most of us will probably have seen these videos and there may be more lurking on the net but who is responsible for these worthy videos?

Does anyone have any information on him and his collection of Bridgestones?

Wish my racer was at that stage. Will be happy when I get around to finishing it up.

I'm not sure if there is a problem with the video you posted, but Moonpup called and said his computer locked up after opening the link. Again, I don't know if it is the link or some other problem. Apparently Mike Anderson didn't have any trouble but just wanted to warn you, Thanks

I'm fairly sure that these videos are from Gary Toomer in San Diego CA. See below:

FYI, Ziggy had 3 other links listed but it appears he's deleted them, so he must have detected the problem.

Here's what happened.... after I opened the first link and viewed the video, I went back to my home page and immediately my screen lit up with a FBI warning saying my computer was locked for downloading a video illegally. If I didn't want to spend up to 3 months in the county jail, I was supposed to go to Walgreens and buy a Green Dot Money Pak for $200 and then come back home and enter the ID code and submit it.  :o

Fortunately, I found a way to delete the problem and get back the use of my computer.

I HATE SCAMMERS!

Yes you are right Ray, that video is one of his and it's the same voice. Gary Toomer? I'll do some research. Thanks.


Moonpup you are correct, the links I first posted looked different for YOU TUBE and they were slow so I deleted them for the latter, sorry for the problems caused.

I didn't get any warnings as such.

I enjoyed those videos Ziggy. Thanks for posting them. I can't seem to pull up anything on Gary Toomer (AKA bridgeman11) so far but his email is here.

No I didn't come up with much either Bickenstein, just the same as you. The e mail link appears to be 12 years old, I may give it a try.

It is Gary Toomer from San Diego. He keeps a pretty low profile.

I mean by low profile is that I think he may lurk on the various sites.

paul

p.s. I think he still has his SR's and a couple of other bikes

Gary used to have his own website showing his collection of bikes, however, that was a few years ago and I can't find it now. I've had a number of email conversations with him over the years, alays came across as a decent guy.
