Sonny Clarke Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Sorry to keep posting in here, just wondering adam.. what has actualy happened, is there any news weither the ''winner'' is collecting his bike ? Such a shame if not Yes i also am very eager to know, if not i shall have to call up watchdog plus this is kind of ruining the reputation of tarty, buy the raffle grips that don't win you anything...

James Quigley Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 The text that follows is my own opinion and any similarity to other opinions, spoken or thought, is just coincidence:1 - Tarty Adam has better things to do than check this thread2 - Tarty Adam forgot to take pics of the bike3 - The winner requested that his choice of parts remains private as he didn't want to start a "I would have got better parts than that" thread.4 - The winner didn't want pictures taken and told Adam not to reply in this thread because he, the winner, wants to see you all bitch.5 - The bike hasn't / will not be built ever.Choose your favorite...........

Muel Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well the gap was pretty big between when the grips came out and the draw, maybe he has quit? Or moved house? Or country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 I just think the whole thing is an anti-climax Regardless of if the guy did claim the bike etc I'm sure everyone including adam would have liked it to be a massive deal. Instead it ended up a little flat as is evident from the phone call on youtube, some of you might say 'he runs a company he probably won't mind that much' but it has to be a little gutting when the person doesn't react how you had hoped. And besides would have been a kit more amusing to hear someone absolutely spazz out down the phone!Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Why does everyone seem to care so much?You didn't win, it's not your bike, why. Possibly the alcohol but i dont't get this whole thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philking Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Having spoken to adam about it, 'kinda' recently there is definitely no conspiracy! Far too many of you don't seem to trust adam which is weird unless he has really given you a reason not to!i can tell you now that adam was really exited about drawing this raffle and couldn't wait to hear the reaction of the guy who won! So don't say your disappointed, when adam is the one who should be! If the guy who is meant to be claiming the bike is a f*cktard and can't get his act together, don't blame adam! I heard from a reliable source that the guy keeps asking for things to be ordered in, even though the rules said he could claim only things that were in stock when the draw took place.... hence idiot who is just trying to rince tarty for anything he can.

I think people have the idea that adam was going to make money from this but infact he wasnt and dont think he ever thought he would, he did it as like said really want to hear that person screaming down the phone.More than likely adam hasnt replied because its much more fun to read everyones replies as they think of every single situation that could of happened lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) I can't believe how many people are accusing Adam of a "false" raffle. The guy's at tarty's are the most genuine guy's out there, they really do go out of their way to help and provide an awesome service. Seems like the lad who won cant be bothered to come and choose his bike or he can't get there right now. Anyways nice one tartys and keep up the good work.

Muel Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Guys! What f**king planet are you on?Can you honestly believe that Adam is the reason the it's all not happening?I did suspect something like he was asking for stuff to be ordered in, or in some way trying to break the rules, but who cares, it's his bike, if he doesn't want it, it's up to him, I'd rather Adam kept the bits.

Tomm Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 He should have said something like 'prize must be claimed by the end of December' or something, would have been much better. It sounds a bit like the guy who won is just taking his sweet time about it, which is really annoying for everyone else (Including Adam by the sounds of it).

python_man Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 someone give this guy a kick up the arse,as harsh as it may seems, i think a date should be made by which this guy can get this bike.and if he is on the forum and reading these posts,stop fooking about and stop pissing adam around tis a good guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yeah, i reckon if he doesn't claim it by the end of feb, 2nd and 3rd place winners, whoever they are, should get half each, or maybe 2nd gets 900 of parts, 3rd the last 600, or something like that.

PaRtZ Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 STOP BUMPING THIS!!I thought something exciting was happening but nothings happening. The lad won it, fair and square, thats itIf adam's doing another one, he'll make a new topic, announcement etc. but for now, nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I havent read all the posts, but all I can say is why the big fuss? You know whats the specs going to be. The most expensive parts. If the guy whos getting it hasnt bothered to get there its his loss, I would have got the train down and stayed in a hotel to get it. NOT because I "bum" them just because they have gone out of there way to do something for me. It the least I could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
