This video of the "Wealdstone Raider" (a Wealdstone FC fan) has now had over 20 million views, and they are now considering him for "Celebrity" Big Brother. :rollin :rollin :rollin
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.

Blimey, you're going back a few years!
They moved to Pinner Road, not too far away in Harrow, then eventually went bust like a lot of other good bike shops. :\
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
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!

I always found them to be as miserable as sin whenever I walked in that shop, like nobody wanted to be there! :lol

Well I didn't want to be there much either! Unfortunately I spent a lot of time trying to get them to fix it. Such tw@ts to deal with if you had a problem. Not like Lloyd Cooper in Watford, much better bunch. Colin Curly opened a branch near them in Queens Road. Guess which shop is still going strong!? There is some justice!
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! :rolleyes.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?.
