[QUOTE="Phil Davies, post: 91614, member: 2541"] Martin, Jim, Tim I have known Bob since 197?, practically since he first started in business. He is without doubt, one of, if not the, greatest Engineer's Engineer to have ever worked on Vincents. I have the utmost respect for his engineering abilities, what I have seen him do to 'beyond repair according to all others' parts in his art of engineering to restoration has to be seen to be belived. My entire racing twin was built from scrap parts that were subject to Bob's expertise - including the crankcases, the cases were the first set that Bob bored and recovered the main bearing housings on, to the point that the racer crank was the first engine that I experienced a freely rotating crank in tightened cases! But and its a big but, his ability to properly run a business and honour his delivery promises was only ever periferal and it has got worse over the years, sadly. He has now had some major componets for over 12 years - and they are still not finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
