I know Mr Owira personally, all I can is that he is not the sensitive type. If anything he would rather play down the incident.

Im not taking side just saying what type of person he is.

Philip is a good friend and a solid individual. I hear Nils is an upstanding guy too. The bike in question belongs to Philips girlfriend and was a birthday gift from mates. I'm guessing the culprit here is business before coffee. I hope the two can shake hands and start over.

And some posters on this thread know this Nils person personally and also saying what kind of guy he is. Someone is lying...

I worked for Nils a couple of years ago and I can promise you he is stand up guy. Always helping people out.

 

I don't know this other guy, but I can say with relative certainty that there is a slang in die gras somewhere.

Well Nils said he was "disorientated" is it not possible that in this confused state he might have said and acted inappropriately. ...all I'm saying as humans we not perfect and he could have made a mistake

....maybe best he should just admit it...????
