Warning!!

Post by Swampy »

Any Club members or friends and/or associates considering purchasing a BIKE SKATE on the internet from the Australian company of that name is strongly advised NOT to do it.

For those of you with numerous bikes in their "Stables" one of these skates would be worth it's weight in gold for the ease of moving your bike about it affords.

I ordered a SCS-4 last month and paid the princely sum of over $300 and never received the product. Many Phone calls made by me to the company resulted in listening to an answering machine with my calls going unanswered. Contacts made by me via email to it's website were never answered which resulted in me ending lodging a complaint with Paypal.

Paypal informed me today that all attempts by them to contact the company had failed and as this is the final day of my dispute I have been informed that Paypal will be reimbursing my money to me in the next couple of days.Fingers crossed!!

I am at the moment having the framework for a skate being fabricated for me by a local company,(thanks to a Club members intervention) and I will then source the appropriate heavy duty braked castor wheels required and assemble it myself no doubt at a fraction of the cost of what I paid out to Bike Skate.

So be warned guys if you are in the market for these great little movers and avoid the above named company :evil:

The beard appears to be strangely familier, was this apparatus a training aid for an early BMW Off Road Skills Course which you attended or is it Digger digging into his photo archives :?: :roll:

Also, maybe a good dose of Castor Oil will cure your Castor fetish ailment :lol:
