More than a week after being told that he will try and get the bike done that night, I am still waiting and there has been no response to 8 messages after this.

You get excited, and then you get disappointed again.

Jeeze Hairy

I feel for you man. I think this runaround is BS. I would collect the bike and think up another plan.

I think this guys is just taking the P1ss now.  You could assemble that Katoom several times over in the time he has had even with all his alleged drama. As I mentioned before, some folks have a shite time of life but you still sort your clients out. 
I would go and pick up the bike along with any other spares of value to my losses…

My thoughts exactly - anyway, do you want someone with so much emotional stress with his health and his family deaths etc working on your motor? 🤔

You don't want your assets lying in his garage over the Christmas break. Rather just go pick up the pieces before he closes. Never mind what you may have paid in advance.

Given him a cash incentive to have the bike ready for collection Sat. morning.

Don't know if he has read the message as he notifications switched off.

[Hairy]

Oh, for context today is day no. 158 ... so the race no. is hopefully no. 160.

Saturday afternoon. What's happening?

[WaynejG]

I hope the fact that there is no reply means that you are out enjoying the bike?

[Hairy]

No reply, my neighbour and I are more than likely going to go around there this week and fetch the bike already.

This **** show has gone on long enough.

This looks like it could be a whole lot of fun, or a whole lot of stupid, depending on your outlook on life...:

Careful you don't trip over all the bodies of his dead family members or the extension cord feeding power to his Dialysis machine and his brothers wheelchair that he had to go and fetch....

When we were lighties we rode our 50s to Durban on more than one occasion. Would take a whole day and then A bit more. Bout 15 hours along the old route. But we were manly 16 year olds then. 
 

reckon an adventure on a monkey bike would leave me needing a chiropractor. But a 125 or 250 single and I would be keen.

We may go see those bodies. Going to try and pick up Friday or Saturday, and I do not expect to find a completed bike.

Yep, keep your expectations low and maybe just maybe you are surprised. I am trying very hard to be positive here
