Pity he does not know how to spell break, but I have no interest at all in people who destroy good classic bikes.

Have to agree.
The seller has posted on here quite recently.
Cheers,
Iain

I have seen this seller over the last few months listing a number of complete A10's that he has broken up to sell for parts. The last one a couple of weeks ago had an earlier engine in it so was not original but had a V5 and was still taxed and MOT'd till next year. Even though my mates and I call him all the names under the sun when we see these bikes listed if you watch what he gets for the parts it works out that he makes 2 / 3 times as much as if he had sold the bike complete so can you blame him. Its all our faults for paying these high prices for parts.

Sounds kind of arrogant, ''Put up or shut up'..!
 Also can't spell:-
ORIGIONAL,  STANTIONS, LUGAGE, BEWEAR, RECIPTS, RECIEPTS,

  Shall save as a seller to try and avoid.
 Cheers

Sacrilidge!!even the trading name sounds like a breakers *work*. But I suppose if you break one and get three on the road as a result, then perhaps thats a benifit. It's the high prices for pieces thats a blow *computer* But if you are in the middle of no where like me and with little hope of an autojumble, evil bay is about the only option.
I like bike, especially my 61'SR
