Where did he get that generator mesh from ? Judging by the size of it I`m not surprised it snagged the rotor - you could make two or three of them out of one that long , sell them off at twenty quid each and recoup some of the cost...
And looking at it again , the aperture seems to be cut away towards the rear , maybe explaining the length of it , but mine was never like that , just a more or less square opening .
As for five year old Jotas falling into the hands of hooligans , I always thought that it was hooligans who were the target customers in the first place.

This is what an original mesh looks like, and how it's located.
Araldite, my arse!
How can this numpty rivet that inappropriate piece of scrap in a so-called £40,000, immaculate restoration.

I never thought I'd see someone who knew less than a Kwik-Fit Fitter, but Jason proved me wrong.
A perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

He stated "I have worked in the motorcycle industry at the highest level for over twenty-five years," but still sent the bike out for a photoshoot with the centre stand dragging on the road!
 
If you conflate super high-end Vintage Car restoration and investment, especially in a country where there is a huge industry supporting this into old bikes guess what the result would probably end up. So if you have had mega-buck bills for your Bugatti restoration then that's what you get for similar work to your investment Laverda.
 
I’ve spent far more on getting some abandoned projects roadworthy than they are worth but which would I rather have, a collection of, often, not very useful bits or a collection of bits I, or someone else, can ride?

I think he spent a lot more money than was necessary. Maybe he was a bit conceited, considering himself an expert, who knows pretty much himself.

Presumably he would have gotten off a lot cheaper if he'd had Keith do it all (rather than just the head and pistons) ...
:cool:
 
He is back with an interview, doubling down. He is very clever using a few facts and then skewing to being the only way past buying a money pit is through him.
