Jeez! That's really crappy. Having met both Dave and Tracy I'm really surprised 8O

That New Zealand biker had better of not been a scam Kev...That's extortion if it is and it won't sit well.
It's bad enough being a sh!t amature machanic but there is something about that that makes my blood boil!

I'll admit I laughed when people started questioning what he was an engineer in..

I'm technically a Software Engineer.. By no means does that mean I'm qualified to work on vehicles :lol: Still an Engineer though!

fair play to tracy for organising the stickers for craig, he sadly lost a lower leg in a terrible accident. it helped raise money for him and his family... :thumbup:

This is an excellent platform to hear from tracy ref the post on facebook and obviously this post as well .
I would like to know how it's possible to have a bike that long and say the work is progressing only for the owner to get it back in what sounds like almost the same condition it was in at the start ?? , Or worse !! Identified by a dealership that it was dangerous to ride and would potentially kill ! And was un MOT able ! Even though it was Implied as being ready to MOT hence why the final payment was made
And as for implying that top quality parts were purchased when in actual fact cheap low quality items have been identified as actually been fitted ! That's pretty low in my mind .
And for this to happen to multiple people beggars belief ! .
If there is a valid reason for this treatment I would very much like to hear it .

I know mine had issues on its return but that is shocking. I'd want some answers and money back

I feel sorry for Playerone (Neil) in all this. Seems he got so fed up he jacked biking in altogether. I can imagine if it happened to me I'd do the same.
