Re: What would you do about THIS?

Ebay are terrible to deal with. They just closed our ebay shop for poor seller performance.
We have 1093 transactions with a 99.4% positive rating.
Their issue was our delivery time of 30 days ( our products are made to order )
Out of a 5 star rating for delivery time we are rated at 4.6 stars ...

Re: Why would you do this to the rules? British F1

Is Alex Lowes British Champion ? Did he beat Cal Crutchlow or Tom Sykes ?

After Leon Camier blitzed the British Championship in 2009 , MSV changed the rules to make it harder for one rider to dominate the championship and win it before the end of the season. I would suspect this was because his ...
