Poor business plan and stupid prices for vey nice looking (but hardly groundbreaking) motorcycles.

Very sad they didn't consider the price point.

From reading between the lines on some social media posts today there may be a fair bit of blame for the current owner Mr Garner...

So if you'd bought one, do you think it would go up or down in value?

Read the article and it beggars belief...if you wrote it as fiction it would be mocked.

For someone who has been a director of many firms since the age of 26........he seems to have made a fair few mistakes...... before reading this i was sold on the idea that Garner was a huge crook......but this has sort of changed my view ( i know he is a crook but who else is involved ). It looks like an arse covering interview.  Hopefully the next part will give some more clarity
