1977 550 K3 Tale of woe.

<< < (3/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks for the link I think it could have been a lot worse i.e. the bike was lost never to return - as can happen in such cases.

Gut wrenching reading.

Wow if it is then he is seriously in the sh*t. A jailbird in fact

That 'restorer' gave a restoration lecture at Stafford Show a few years back. Told me he powder coats frames and then paints them on top of PC. Sounded a bit weird to me at the time

Sesman:
Definitely the same bloke who appeared with Henry Cole on the motorbike Show. Sounds like a right character.

chrisr58:
He only showed remorse cos he got caught, oh well that’s my small claims case up the Swanee!
I’m sure plenty haven’t got their bikes back so could be worse. “Motorcycle enthusiast” So not a classic bike restoration expert then? I blame Henry Cole!

SumpMagnet:
he showed remorse because his solicitor told him he would get a lighter sentance if he did.

I wonder if the august Mr Cole would like to do a follow up piece on his 'recommended restorer'. But I suppose, he could at least make use of his jail time by applying for a mechanics course while he's inside!

Feel sorry for the folks whose unfinished work he has left behind. Why isn;t the bike finished? er...I was doing 4 years for theft and deception......
