A very public apology

me I think Hacked has done his reputation more damage by getting his knickers in a twist and making a bit of a fanny of himself than would have happened if he had just left it.

Exactly, That thread was all but forgotten and would have stayed that way. All he has done now is made everyone aware of it and the product he is selling. He has no one to blame but himself. To be honest everyone on this forum pretty much would know better than to buy one of his bikes anyway so he isnt really gonna loose a huge amount of customers.
