I've satisfied every warranty claim that has ever been presented to me, to the penny.

Some "experts" do not warranty work on 40-year-old old motorcycles.

if you do the job properly in the first place, surely there should be no "warranty" claims?

Not worked on a Brit for 20 years or more, but when I used to work at a shop specialising in Triumph, we had no "warranty" claims related to poor standards of workmanship.

Ah, yes, I keep forgetting I'm the single imperfect person out there, working on the only old bikes that fail.

Some text has been deleted from this post - L.A.B.
Your whole attitude to people and their interest in British bikes is based on your foul judgement of random anecdotes and incompetent historical research. Further you denigrate people of whom you have no personal experience.

I can say Paul has many more friends than detractors which is a hell of a lot more than can be said about you. He has customers, he has bikes both British and Japanese and he rides them. You have NONE of those attributes.

You have not worked on bikes in over 20 years. You do not own or ride a bike. You sit in an armchair pontificating in your deluded belief that you are the expert on everything and are deaf and blind to facts provided by people on this forum who use if for its purpose - IT IS ABOUT INTEREST AND ENJOYMENT OF BRISTISH & OTHER MOTORCYCLES . If you want to persist with your negativty and dislike of just about everthing and everyone here why don't you just go and set up your own web forum and see how many fans you get?
