Google business has decided for some unknown reason to suspend my business listing on some unknown violation. I had a live video over a month ago to validate my business is genuine and real, but also that the address is correct- the video was a success and my business page was live .
But now its been suspended and the reason is vague.

But what i noticed when i was with the rep on the video they told me i cant use ' shop' as its a word for a premises , whereas im mobile- so i deleted all key words that had 'Shop' . After my video submittance was approved, Google then gave me updates to my business profile that i could ONLY except- adding the very key words that the google rep said i couldnt use.
Now, a few days ago i added an update where i shared what my pricing is for 2026 ( callout fee and labour charge)

So i dont know what apparent violation i have meant to have done, but if the appeal i submitted isnt excepted i will loose ALL the content of my google listing that has been online since around 2014... further more, i think they will BLOCK me from creating any new business listings in the name of Black Cat Motorcycles

Correcting another ' mechanic's ' ... 'work' lol.
At first i thought i could repair the tail end where the lights are.. but the wiring was not only bodged but the wire itself was blackened .. Then when i looked under the seat i found more bodge work.. Scotchloc to take a live to the tail light, instead of using the Brown bullet connect on the loom!!. then there is an earth wire added from the battery, INSTEAD of using the Green bullet connect on the loom!!.
So i have decided to junk all the sub loom and make a new loom, run the tail light wires correctly

Some turdball has reported my account Robyn Ann Williams as being fake- so now im locked out of it. I submitted a video of my face, if FB automated checker decides its fake- they will delete that account with ALL its content.
update: 'R.A.W' account is suspended. I could not chat to FB as the Chat option only brought a popup that said something like ' busy try late in an hour'.In the last 3/4 hours i have managed to contact FB chat.. spoke to an advisor who asked what i did before the pop up- which i was commenting a positive thing to a female mechanic who was getting comments about her not being a real mechanic.
So now ive told them the video upload issues i had and that it didnt ask for any other proof of who i am.. i can only wait for the specialist team to investigate.. When they will look at it - dont know... what the verdict will be... your guess is as good as mine. But i think i have , at best , 20% chance.
Fingers crossed

1968 Honda CB160 - i have taken it as far as i want to, now up for sale. Runs, brakes work, lights work, gears and clutch work. Listed on Ebay.
there was another on there restored registered but not running for over £3000. So i have posted this at £2700 ono

Also i have a CG125 cafe racer on Ebay and will be listing a Honda SS125A soon

This is my 1968 Honda CB160, which i bought as a non-runner. Since owning it i have done the following. I bought it as a project to tick off the list in my head of bikes id like to work on. Everything works on it - lights, electric start, clutch, brakes.

Today's customer's bike. Customer says that they paid another business to do a few jobs - paint bike, fit parts, do some wiring, fix exhaust leak and do a service.
After many months, they get it back, with a bag of bits- still blowing, sloppy gear change and other issues seen in the photos.
things to note:
- gear linkage worn so badly its held on with a cable tie.
- LH exhaust leaks badly because the collets are missing ( one in bag of bits)
-two bolts held in bike with PTFE tape , needed a nut on other side
- left rear indicator stopped working as BODGED wiring was hanging on back wheel- so 'fell apart' when it was ridden to MOT. Also indicator held in with silicone and a cable tie.
- Coils replaced, but the DIY brackets are just AWFUL.
- paint on it , isnt amazing.. it issues- orange peal etc.

Main work is to get the parts to fix it and then discuss with the customer the paint
