Default Re: GearX Bike Clothing ... a Warning

From " Cheap Gear " Thread, June 09:

Quote:

A businessman in Newcastle has been convicted after he made a fortune selling counterfeit motorcycle leathers.
The fake leather suits ripped off motorcycle manufacturers Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Ducati.
Alan Routledge sold the fake motorcycle leathers through his eBay shop Click2Buy. He was operating out of two units at Tedco Business Park in Jarrow.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that Alan, 53 had been in the motorcycle industry for eight years and was making an annual turnover of £400,000. The counterfeit leathers were bought from Pakistan for $170 (around £80) and were sold in the UK for £249 each. Prosecutors said the leathers were “dangerous” and would not have passed safety tests.

NOT this trader, but if it's difficult getting satisfaction from a Geordie, try it from Pakistan!
