Hahaha! That was a 'Harrowing' experience!
I know the area, used to live in Watford. Made the mistake of buying a bike off Colin Collins in H&W too. (Are those shysters still in business?) It was the word Wealdstone that caught my eye.
Ah yeah it might have been him! I did my test with them at Harrow and then bought a GPz500 off them that the bloke actually described as a "plum" (reg ended in PLM). If it'd had a plate that ended in LMN it would have been closer to the truth. Had no end of issues and they tucked me up like a kipper and refused to fix anything cos they knew I was a new rider. We are going back 20 years!
Many moons ago I was looking into buying a brand new AR125.Went to the local Kawa/Honda dealers only to be told by the salesman that he couldn't sell me one,but he could sell me two! .His explanation was that they bought them in pairs & unless he could guarantee the sale of the other one he wouldn't sell me one at all!.I've wondered about that to this day.Does anyone know if that WAS/IS ever the case at dealers?.
