My name is Dr Alistair Sutcliffe, and I have been an avid member for nearly 10 years, contributing to many forums along the way.
I am deeply, deeply upset by a recent happening. I recently sold a motorcycle to Nick Marshall from our site. A week after he bought it, before which I had sent him over 20 detailed pictures and 2 detailed phonecalls, he informed me that he wanted to sell the bike as he had decided he just didn't want it. He asked me to store it in my garage until he had sold it, which I happily did. I even found a buyer for him, albeit it a little cheaper, just in case.
After me storing it for 10 weeks, in my heated garage, he finally received it, and, after 24 hours or so, sent me a really rude pm about faults with it, some of which were clearly made up. It was a fabulous 10,000 mile 19 yo Triumph Trophy. He paid 2500, which was way cheaper than any other similar ones for sale. With a new name on the log book and more miles, out of goodness, I offered £2000 back for it, though I did not want it. He then proceded to advertise it on here, bad- mouthing me at every opportunity- very unfair. Anyhow, he has now discussed it with his friend, PaulG, and I have been banned from the For Sale site! This is grossly unfair. As many users know, any small monies I make on a restoration is given to my local hospice. I do it to keep myself active and help charities. Many folk have bought from me before, and all have been delighted. PaulG does not accept PM's- he just nessaged me today to inform me I was banned. I cannot belive it, and am deeply hurt. I have had numerous messages from other forum users also discusted by Nick and PaulG's "ganging up" on a well- liked, respected, and long-time forum contributor like myself. The numbers in protest are swiftly gathering for PailG's poor actions, and I would ask you to look at this urgently for me. It most certainly is not in our forum's best image for these 2 to behave such as this. I did everything in my power to help, and this is the Very First time in 10 years anyone has ever taken issue with something that I have sold.
Please help,
Dr Alistair Sutcliffe.
