Must have been one of you that did it. Only a sicko would even think of this
Ordered from Fowlers yesterday and it arrived promptly today
Was it my little bag of circlips, screws and bolts I ordered - NO 🤔
Instead I found the most offensive disgusting thing you could imagine
It must have been intercepted and swapped by someone who knows how this would affect me
What was it I here you ask
Anal beads?
Huge dildo?
A guide to becoming a woke snowflake?
Love your 4 stroke?
A box of dog shit?
Any of that would be pleasant compared to what was inside.
I have taken legal advice and decided to waive my right to remain anonymous to help other that may have been affected by this
The Samaritans have been briefed to help others cope with this horror
The Jiffy bag had Honda parts in it 😳😰😱🤢🤮
I'm hear to support anybody that needs it 😆

Order note with what I ordered and what arrived Would have been good if it was of use as apparently a cylinder base gasket, a head gasket, 4 valve stem seals and 2 exhaust valves for a Honda scooter costs £195 instead of the £20 worth of parts I ordered Steve PS what can you do to a 125cc scooter to shag it that badly  |

I feel your pain. It's not easy receiving quality parts from probably the best motorcycle manufacturer..... in the world. after dealing with the usual non Honda OEM tat.

Ah you mention quality parts from a well known Japanese brand If you zoom in I think you will find they are marked Made in Thailand 😁 Steve |

Yep and on their UK factory tour they were at great pains to explain that the UK factory was replicated there and it was super high quality and they totally oversaw everything with Brits lol. Methinks they doth pretested too much... |

That would have been a money maker but their admin is a little too good for that
When I phoned them they were very apologetic and asked for 1 part number that I had received.
They instantly knew whose package I had and after they spoke to the London bike shop the Honda stuff was for they confirmed they had mine so only 2 orders swapped and not incorrectly picked
I'm already barred from M and P, I don't need barred from Fowlers too
Anyway, the way I've been picking up some parts then ending up building a bike from them I'd probably think I was as well buying more parts and building the whole scooter 🤣

Triumph have a metals plant there and used to ship over engine casings etc to be machined in the UK before (I believe) bikes were built there.. Unusual for Fowlers to drop a clanger too. |

I had a Street Twin, better build quality than some Japanese bikes I have had.
