Perhaps he's related to the other eBay muppet, motocycleparts-inc.....

He's the guy that repairs seats, and the customer rarely get them back! I've done a couple CL72 engines for a fellow member on this forum, who has his own nightmare story about having his seat re-done by this clown.

Well, Davo, I started a Name & Shame list today; I hope others will follow for us all to be aware!

I saw the new list Steve, and I for one like it. As long as it doesn't become the Bocca di Leone.

If enough members find it offensive, Davo, then I'll make it disappear (in the interest of democracy). But, in the meantime, I'll stand up & be counted to warn others -- mainly noobs -- of bum deals & bummer dealers.

I think it's a great idea Steve. if folks spend a minute searching here, there's some really great info you've posted on who to buy from, and who not to buy from. Thanks for all of your efforts Steve!

I agree with Davomoto....As a new-B, parts accumulation is necessary and although I've never been significantly burned, I don't look forward to it and would review the list prior to a purchase.

It does give another incentive to simply do a good job and honesty is everything in the vintage world.

Thumbs up on the effort!
