He has a lot of bad spelling and grammar for someone that used to write technical articles for cycle news.

And for the title of wordiest auction ever may go to the 490 he sold…

And the buyer left feedback as “item as described”   lol

That's downright bizarre. What would inspire someone to write so much utterly turgid rubbish about bikes that are not even original? Those weird tank/plastics combos look terrible, esp the 490.

I'm a compulsive reader yet I haven't been able to make it past half way in any of his ads....even the one for the engine. His tech article submissions to Cycle would have been a joy to the editor :o.
