Worsham Castle

I ordered a set of saddlebags for my 37 project, I was told it would be 12 weeks before they would be done.Well I received them today, exactly 12 weeks from the time I placed my order, and guess what ? They are fantastic, the quality of material and workmanship are un-matched. They are a dead on ringer for the original saddlebags. I did not give a down payment ( I wanted to ) They were shipped to my home without any payment what so ever. I guess I find that refreshing, that a man I do not know ,would do this for a man he does not know. Just trusting that my word is my bond, in a day when you can't go to the local carryout without them marking your money to see if it's counterfiet, while they stand behind bullet proof glass. Or paying for gas before you can pump it, because they think you might be a thief. I am glad I
ordered my saddlebags from Worsham Castle, not only did I receive quality
workmanship for my hard earned money, I was treated like the person I think I am (honest). No I'm not related and yes payment in full has been sent.

Re: Worsham Castle

A while back I sent Michael a seat that my dad ran on his flathead he picked up after returning home from his war. Not sure if the seat pan is HD or Indian. At any rate, told Michael that I wanted to use it on my 49 pan project. Pop's seat was black with red and white fringe. I gave Michael a color sample and he made it black with maroon and white fringe. He cleaned up and used the same metal and glass trim pieces that were on pop's seat. The best part is that he tooled my dad's name, year of birth and year he left this shitty world on the back of the seat. I had not requested this mind you...something he did on his own after we talked about the seat and its history.

A class act by a true professional

I just know Michael Pacquette to be top drawer, as honest and straight-shooting an individual as you would ever want to meet, and he does beautiful work.

Re: Worsham Castle

Mike's about 5 miles up the road from me. I gotta get a set of saddlebags I bought for my 47 Chief in New Zealand up to him for the magic touch from him. I have alwas found him to be respectful and honest, a refreshing quality in today's motorcycle world.

Re: Worsham Castle

Micmac,
I guess that was what I was trying to say, it is a refreshing quality in todays motorcycle world. I have seen alot of people who are a little less than honest (being polite) in the name of making a buck, they don't really care about you or the sport. Don't get me wrong there are still alot of good people out there too. But I've been burnt more times than I care to admit by
these shady clowns (being polite) That dealing with Michael was like a breath
of fresh air. He truly is a craftsman and professional.

Yer right, it restores our faith. Stuff like that and like the bros on here helping Tootall, and even the "Shine on" Jack Sr dude He was phoney, but the guys who helped him in good faith were A#1.

Re: Worsham Castle

I have heard nothing but positive about his work and the man.

And, knowing he is an active member here, I know Michael is reading this.

Congrats and thanks.
