Fortunately my reaction wasn't quite that severe, I do still have my other black vtr

Good to hear that Neil

I think anyone who can should read on through that page on facebook as more photos and information have been added .
The condition that it has been given back and the quality of the work done ( the wiring could have been done better by a 5 year old ! ) is truly shocking ! .
I am perplexed that someone can say it's done and ready for an MOT ? .
Engineer my butt ! BODGER ! is the word that comes to mind .

Can you explain for someone who hasn't read every single line of comments? All I can think is why would someone buy a moto without proper inspection first. Huge gamble.

You need to read it but in short .
The bike was given to be worked on by a supposed engineer / hot mechanic who is also a dab hand at pretty much anything .
The idea of giving it to him was to get it road ready and MOT'd as the owner was not great with spanners and really didn't have time .
After waiting over a year and been told all is ready to MOT it transpires it still wasn't ready and in fact crap parts had been purchased when he was told top notch parts were on it ? .
He waited even longer as they promised they would do it but it was all crap talk and they did nothing .... he got so fed up having paid to have it all to be done ( yes that's right they said it was done and billed him and he paid them that day ) he went a picked it up .
He was so unhappy with it he sold it on explaining to the chap buying it to get it checked over ... he did and it was a death trap !! .
Hence the post on facebook by the new owner and the subsequent other owners who have now come forward having received the same crap service .

But you must read it ! Somehow ? As the pieces of wood used to secure parts onto another owners bike need to be seen to be believed !!!!! .

Professional half wits! Dear oh dear this needs to be stopped before someone looses their lives! ! Thank god it's come to light.

Surprised ABB hasn't been on with her side. Possibly there's too much contradictory evidence?
