Chatter / belgian classic races
« Last post by Steve Lake on February 05, 2025, 09:26:04 PM »
thinking of going to belgium for a long weekend to watch the classic racing.
now, my question is .... all the races i can find online, seem to be on tracks, but i have it in the back of my (failing) mind that there is a race held on public roads through towns & or villages (a la TT)

anyone got any info?

As you mentioned Ian, the actual work carried out by Steve Freake is good, but a 9 month delay and numerous calls/emails/txt's none of which were answered, ending up with properly worded documentation starting small claims court proceeding sent 'signed for' to the business & home addresses before i got my 2 pairs of stanchions back. takes the gloss off of proceedings a bit !!

he could have a nice little business there if he had someone handling the 'front end' with a bit of customer communication.

I see you've installed the airbox afore the engine, unlike myself!  ::) I then had to lift the engine in and out on my own, whilst inserting retaining bolts that were well copper greased! I'll nae forget, if I have to do it again.  ;)

Is the support that you have in the lift specific for the SRX monoshock, or is it adaptable for other machines?

Good health, Bill

As you say Ian (Itsme) service and backup doesn't exist anymore, and you have to pay more for less in return. This latest bike I'm restoring, I can't believe how expensive it has been, and the fork stanchions saga hasn't helped one iota 😕

Nice one Ian I see what you did there.

Kev it is indeed very unsettling just how easy it is to get caught. I feel really sorry for those people not lucky enough to have someone like my son to sort it out for them and so minimise any damage done.

Welcome back Ian.
Sorry to hear of the scamming event. It’s horrible isn’t it?

Thank you gents I am very glad to be back.

Ian

I have recently joined the Royal Enfield Owners Club, but I will of course remain faithful to TC. Unless they offer me cash!

If they do it'll be a scam......

Thanks Pete for getting in touch and I'm looking forward to the chance of a ride with you when the weather warms up.

Glad things worked out in the end. Sadly I have read other reports of Mansfield Hard Chrome Plating being a nightmare to deal with which is very upsetting as in the 80s they were the best place to go to for this service.

Not wishing to sound like a 'well in my day.....' sort, but it does seem things are worse now, Michael's fight with CCM, your experience with HCP and a friend of mine who had to take Nourish Engineering to court to get a £2500 refund on a crank they never built for him. Maybe the people who run these companies are now winding down after working for 40 or 50 years, but that doesn't excuse crappy service.
