The problem here, and I'm sure elsewhere, is that the recumbent business does not put bread on the table - it is often more of an outgrown hobby that we dream will become our escape from the daily drudge of the day-job. We're mostly pretty small businesses and we do find that 'real life' does get in the way at times. There is nobody to cover when we're sick or on holiday. I wish business was good enough to have staff, but hey... one day!

I wouldn't dream of disputing what you have in front of you, indeed I don't understand why that part of it was bought into this as surely he had been tried, sentenced  etc and as in a criminal court as long as you are not offending (ie posting in that way again) surely that should have been the end of it with it not needing resurrecting at the first opportunity.
      I was thinking more of the issue the original poster had, for example I have txt - e-mailed and phoned various dealers at times (all recumbent oddly) with not even a sniff of a response, is it that the planet they inhabit is obscured from communication with mere mortals at times.
      Anyway, orft to the shed to make Quint pretty for the summer I hope we are going to have, he has truly gone through it this year.

To clarify what Alan said,
Kevin was pretending to be at least one other person, (someone called speedy) not connected to his business who was trying to increase traffic to his business, and when challenged denied it completely.
 It was proved it was he, (i think he even registered with the same email?? and posted from the same IP address) he was warned about it, but carried on regardless..

The issue was that he was posting  recommendations that people talk to D-Tek without saying that he was connected with that business.
 
Nobody who has dealt with Kevin would dispute that he is very knowledgeable and very very helpful.
 
And a very nice bloke...

I appear to have missed Kevin posting (in that way) but I do seem to remember a dealer blatantly promoting his product on here a while back and when challenged repeating his claims and not apparently being censored. Also another dealer quoting prices etc (which I took as helping forum members out but maybe that's me being naive)
    It would be nice to know the story behind this and possibly a right of defence/reply as the inference is not really palatable.
    I rather enjoy this forum and this does not appear to be in keeping with it

I'm willing to help.  It's likely that the organisers will ask me to lead a ride on Saturday again - though if anyone else would like to do that I can assist with local knowledge in planning the route.  In particular if anyone would like to lead a slower/shorter ride then there has been demand in the past for such a thing.

Probably can't assist Friday night: being in possession of a genuine tiled (not canvas or nylon) roof in spitting distance of the Knavesmire I expect to be feeding a houseful of people.  On the other hand, if any of them are here soon enough to get sent out to earn their supper they will be.

Paul

It's my intention to be at the York show for most of the two days so you can have a Raptobike (plus trailer / fairings) on semi-permanent display and I'll bring a folder for generally pottering about on.
 
I'll also try to spend plenty of time on the stand to talk to people.
 
Things are very fluid with work at the moment so cannot guarantee to be there Friday night but will make every effort to be, I assume you won't be starting too early, if you get in touch nearer the time then I can confirm times.
 
Although the bike has since been "retired" (or should that be reshaped) I've got some decent shots of the orange plywood low racer you can have for homebuilders corner.

Just down the road from me, I wish him(?) a less whingeing buyer than I got when I sold my old trike! 
"I paid you top whack for that trike" - "No you didn't, you bought it via ebay".
I can believe it's only been ridden once - looks like someone bought the full spec too.

Feel free to steal anything useful from my blog:
http://glydearoundbritain.blogspot.com/
(Mostly just gear talk so far)
I should be posting photos there and to my FB page (again, help yourself Paul) as I'm travelling. I'll be taking photos and mailing back memory cards during the trip so Carol should be able to pass on higher res stuff. I'm not back in circulation until first week in June so will call and see what I can help with then.
I'm expecting to be 'all ridden out' in June so can share the load on the stand when the ride is out.

Streamliner would be good.  Rob has offered to display the Glyde as well so these two will make a great centre-piece reflecting two different types of streamliner - racing and road, two and three wheels etc.

I could potentially do some kind of poster around Rob's Round Britain Tour if I am given some photos and details.

Geoff if you want to do some posters please feel free- let me know what you are planning.

I am happy to man the stand whilst others go for the ride so no probs there.

Slight lack of people to put it up the year before but not insurmountable at the time.

Let me repeat myself:-

Not lack of people, lack of display material.

Display materials, display boards and display table were all in London. No clothing was apparently available at the time.

So I had a a display consisting entirely of a marquee and some magazines to put on the ground. Cry

Having cleared that one up lets get the first item on the list ticked off.

1) Committee to book the stand.


(If that sounded a bit grumpy its because I don't like having to repeat myself umpteen times, and I've got a lousy Censored cold Boohoo so I'm [even more] like a  bear with a sore Censored head than usual. Unhappy)

Nope.
We've had an invitation from the organisers together with booking forms etc, but we decided to wait and make sure we would have enough people available to have a stand...
 
So early responses to Paul's request for help would be greatly appreciated...
