What is it with people these days?

So i'm trying to sell my CG125 project for the expensive price of £150.

I got a text from a guy asking all these questions i.e 'dose it hv hedlite fittd? dose it run?'

So i answered all these questions, told him where to pick it up, and asked if he'd be picking it up in a van or trailer.

'Cn u no push bike?'

WHAT? Shocked

Oh, should have mentioned he lives in leith, and i'm in tranent. I make that about 10 miles on the bypass.

He's planning on pushing a bike to there, from mine, it's not insured, taxed or MOTd, and has a bald rear tyre.

Fucking nutter.

And i'm gonna let him do it Laughing

If he gets stopped by the police, does my 'he said he'd be pushing it to his van to take it to his!' excuse work? The bike isn't even registered to me, so can it come back to me?

Cheers

I'd probably just say to him when he's handing over the cash it's now fully his responsibility (as he will have signed the new owner's slip on the V5) and how he gets it home is his own business. Police could still get arsey with you though Neutral

Just told him that, it's his responsibility. he's getting the keepers bit and he can bugger off. it's not my house he's going to so it's all good.

Wonder if they'd take it off him if he has the new keepers suppliment?

The bike has no license plate so i'm guessing he's gonna get stopped every 10 minutes... But they can check the frame number.

The Police might ask questions but what could they do him for? What responsibilty does a seller have to ensure the buyer can take it away in a legal mannner?

Once sold, it is no longer your problem otherwise we would have to start introducing insurance document checks, licence checks etc.

Righto, he took my offer of dropping it off... pushing it sounded a bit sketchy. i'll be charging him £20 for dropping it off though... Smile

He sounds like a bit of a diddy the way he's been texting. all these questions.

Cheers for the info Thumbs Up

They could easily have just taken the bike from him and had it "recovered" for having no road tax, MOT or insurance. You need these things just to push it down a pavement.

He probably wouldn't pay the fee to get it back.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

i've seen someone buy a bike and then hitched a lift home with it. cant remember the distance but he bought it from london and took the weekend to get it home.

and I thought i'd done some strange things sometimes, lol

I've pushed my NS125 a decent few miles after crashing it, at 3am or something. Also had to pick the front end up to turn one way as the front end was so bent it was on the lock to go straight.

I'd refuse to sell it to him on the grounds of his poor English

Well, perhaps I wouldn't but it'd make me up the price a bit
