I just got the following reply from the government rep, this is the opteenth time I was told this, watch this space again.

Following your recent email I have now spoken with Tony Edge at Abbey Engineering.

Tony has confirmed that he is aware of your interest and concern, and will be contacting you shortly.

If you do not receive contact from Tony, perhaps you could telephone him direct on 44 (0)151 546 4220.

Regards


Any help from the forum would be welcome

An update on the JMC swingarm saga, Tony from Abbey Engineering is not holding any hope of continuing with JMC swingarms, which means I and many others have lost money. Apparently the wanka (John Mc Carton?) has not been much of help setting up this side of the business so most likely Abbey lost money on this wally like we did.

If anything new comes up I'll let you know.

Merry xmas to all, and a happy new year (while I cry in the corner)

I'm late as well, these are the guys I was referring to from the government, because the business was sold, nothing can be done to the new owners.

Worse still it appears the poor buggers in the UK aren't treated any better than I am in Australia.

Are my eyes plating tricks on me or are you in Western Australia? Where abouts? I grew up in Bayswater and Mundaring and my folks still live there in Mandurah. I'm in Michigan now and have been here for 14 years.

PS - did you use a credit card that you can file a fraud claim under?

Hi, small world, we live in Craigie 24kms north of Perth. Unfortunately JMC kept me hanging for so long that even the credit card mob didn't want to know me.
Mundaring is no longer a bikers road, riding a kids tricycle would get you into trouble with the law.
What made you want to live in Michigan (not that there is anything wrong with living there, I'd like to visit the US in a year or so)

Mate.....
I remember hearing the Gypsy Jokers ride in droves up Gt Eastern Hwy, up to the old Mundaring Weir Pub, but they cleaned that place up and kicked 'em out, way before I left - the sound form all those Harley's sounded like a bunch of Heuy's flying into a Vietnam LZ! I heard the bikeys moved over to Parkerville pub for a while...but I think the cops drove them out there too, and they pushed them out the suburbs.... People don't realize that Perth Western Australia has the highest amount of HD's, per capita, then any other place in the world!

I came to MI to work in the auto industry (you can all now laugh!), but now I am in the defense sector (you can all laugh again). It's a nice state, you get all four seasons, although the winters here a long and cold. The summers are too short, and coming from Perth, you know how awesome our summers are.....and don't even get me started about not being able to surf down south at Margaret River, Gracetown, Yalingup and the like.....luckily I have a wakeboard boat so I can surf behind that (but it's not the same as riding a 12 footer at the 3 Bears), and also get a taste of home whenever I make biz trips out to Orange County.

Stazi,
Sounds like you miss the place, and as for bike gangs, anyone bar the ladies knitting club meeting on scooters is considered a bikie gang and can be arrested on the spot. Knowing our cops kids on tricycles aren't safe BUT its ok because they are the LAW.
You are right about the Harley numbers in Perth theres thousands of these things.
When the clubs go over from the east, the copers out numbered the riders.
Anyway Ride safe
