Yeah

Just pop a post up to say something like there may be some changes etc

I do like to be a bastard


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

well, certainly some reaction

Hank PM'd Me -

Is he a 'real' new member or a spammer that should be banned?

His IP Address is from the UK - I was expecting India or Pakistan...

and i think he has sat on the account!

yep:
He only made a single post, stated that he doesn't ride motorcycles or scooters but is in the 'mobility business'. His post was more banner ad than anything...

We don't have the time to monitor people who are most likely spammers, so... I banned his ass.

If anyone asks what this is about, I suggest we respond that we can't really say at the moment

If I'd got onto this earlier I might have got a 'press release' ready for tomorrow about Ap's franchising/rebadging of some motability carts as part of plans for a range of electric/dual fuel performance scooters currently in the pipeline.

and yes - we are all sad hits - with a wicked sense of humour

as you can see we started plotting this some time ago - and if we had of had time, the aprilia fool joke would have been more involved

I got my first concerned text at around 7 this morning - and Facebook etc started getting silly from 9....

thanks for all who got involved - and Aprilia Fools Day is now, for this year, officially over
