Thank you gents I am very glad to be back.

Ian

I have recently joined the Royal Enfield Owners Club, but I will of course remain faithful to TC. Unless they offer me cash!

If they do it'll be a scam......

Thanks Pete for getting in touch and I'm looking forward to the chance of a ride with you when the weather warms up.

Glad things worked out in the end. Sadly I have read other reports of Mansfield Hard Chrome Plating being a nightmare to deal with which is very upsetting as in the 80s they were the best place to go to for this service.

Not wishing to sound like a 'well in my day.....' sort, but it does seem things are worse now, Michael's fight with CCM, your experience with HCP and a friend of mine who had to take Nourish Engineering to court to get a £2500 refund on a crank they never built for him. Maybe the people who run these companies are now winding down after working for 40 or 50 years, but that doesn't excuse crappy service.

Good to see you back online Ian, and happy to hear you weren't totally bankrupted!

Yes a very warm welcome back Ian, your posts, humour has been missed.
Just to echo Ian’s words, commiserations on your scam episode and brilliant news that major disaster and possibly bankruptcy was avoided. I can well imagine that it was a very stressful time for both you and your good lady wife and I hope you can both start to put it behind you 🤞🤞
All the best Michael

Welcome back Ian and commiserations on your problems. It just goes to show you can never be too careful, and the rise of AI will make these things ever more plausible. My wife gets many texts starting "Dear Mum". As we have no children it's easy to discount them.

With emails, it's worth checking the actual address they come from as this can easily look like something familiar (eg AMAZ0N.com - zero instead of O)

Hi Thumpergents (and ladies)

I have finally got TC back and found out I can log-in again, hooray. Not wishing to drag up old problems, but my wife and I got scammed pretty disastrously which wiped our computer and phones almost totally. Luckily my son is an IT tech and as soon as we realised something was wrong we went to see him and he not only managed to stop us being bankrupted, but he has also got our systems up and running again. It all started with my wife answering an innocent looking email from what she thought was a known, reliable source so be very careful what you do.

Anyway I'm grateful to Pete for asking if I was ok and looking forward to getting back to the world of Thumping.

Ian
