Post by: Rombloke on September 24, 2005, 09:17 PM: yip...or so rumour has it

Dave
Title: Re: who done it
Post by: TwoBobRob on September 26, 2005, 09:12 PM: Yeah. As the story goes, he designed the thing and then Odyssey bought the license to sell it, providing him with a very useful dollar for every one sold. That deal had a lifespan after which the product became the property of Odyssey, upon which he unveiled his modified, better version named the Oryg under the name of SST (Scura speed and technology), which he has subsequently sold absolute shed-loads of.

Or something like that...... ;)

scura is one wealthy wheelie king.
