ouch 1,191 Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) We wanted him that year to and he's stayed ever since. Three years off his testimonial. Edited August 19, 2017 by ouch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted August 19, 2017 Watching him develop into a top rider since we took him on at Edinburgh when nobody else wanted him has Been a pleasure. Knowing how badly he's wanted this and to have achieved this it's fantastic. From what I've heard Think he's changed tuner after the WC to Fleming graversen, seems over the past week he's picked up his form again. IF he has gone to Gravesen he joins the likes of Woffinden, Lindback, Lindgren, Iversen and a few other SGP riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted August 20, 2017 Engines get spent back for a service but when they return they are total different engines and not the one they sent. Â That's been a problem for a few riders. Cookie one of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedibee 3,091 Posted August 20, 2017 *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************+ Engines get sp**********ent back for a service but when they return they are total different engines and not the one they sent.That's been a problem for a few riders. Cookie one of them had this problem with a tuner from the Northeast, sent him an engine back after paying 400 quid for a service because He forgot to put the oil filter bolt back in , and we started it and all the oil sprayed out , so we sent it back to see if any damage had been done ,it was still running when it went back , and had just had new conrod piston and the bore relined ,+ new ignition system he loaned us an engine while he looked at the other one ,which he subsequently sold to us . messed us about with our own engine for months ,then after more than a few angry phone calls , sent us back a box of scrap , and swore blind that was the engine we sent to him , later on we heard stories of him building engines and supplying new pistons Conrods barrels etc for incredibly low prices , , send an engine to these people make sure all the individual parts are engraved with your name - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted August 20, 2017 Do you mean that the engine doesn't perform like it did before the service or they are literally sent a different engine back? Totally different engine. Riders take photos and/or engrave certain markings to prove it's there etc, so they can tell when there engine doesn't return but a totally different engine does Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
