Hi Paul Minnaert
Thanks so very much for still working on this for me.
I suspect the NZ seller that exported may have changed or incorrectly noted the VIN when he exported the bike. I am waiting for Moto Guzzi to come back to me and confirm the VIn number that they exported to me, there was only one bike sent here from the original production and we lost some docs in the chch earthquakes in 2011,
Tracy Durham who sold the bike into the states has flicked us the bird, he is just a real nasty bit of work and took the bike from the collection over a 5k disagreement, as the owner of the bike collection has died he simply feels we wont be able to prove he sold it, however I plan to get the right docs and get the bike classified as stolen, its just difficult without the end of the sale. The horrible part is the guy minding the bike Chris Mullans was a great avid motorcyclist who had a heart attack of stress and died on his lounge floor, no doubt the stress was contributed by this guy Durham, its just sad all round, will drop you a message when I hear from the factory,
kindest regards my friend
Paul Taylor
