For example;

The first line has already pissed me off. I feel like a kid being told of by a teacher. He's flogging a below average machine, he will receive offers.
Fact of the matter is that's been on ebay for a couple of months IIRC.
Same goes when calling dealerships. I have called 2 dealers so far this week to inquire about a motorbike, to be met with a stinking miserable attitude which instantly left me feeling ""go fuck yourself then" after I hung up.
Must be the time of year. Miserable bastards. |

It's endemic, there are loads of mentals out there who don't really want to sell their bike and think they're doing you a favour by offering it.
Troll them or stay away, you're not getting their bike either way.
That clapped out crashed mess - sorry, "streetfighter" - can you imagine trying to declare all that to an insurer?

I've found the same with dealers over the last two winters. No contact back, no interest in, you know, selling a bike. My theory is that they go into hibernation and try and survive on selling gloves and neck tubes until Spring. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

That is a joke!
I like this:
| Quote: | XJS, Porsche, Dutton, spitfire, SD1, etc
As long as they are road worthy (rolling restoration ok)
WHY, never know, I may not eve thought about what you may have and could surpise you.
WITH PX vehicle has to be of lesser or of same value of my bike , cash my way only. | My uncle has an SD1 sat on his drive that cost nearly 2K 2 years ago, was immaculate and is now just stored, would easily be worth more to a realist.

I've focused on bikes around 1K for buying in Jan, and in 1 week found a handful of bargains all within 60miles.
1 x 99R6 needing a polish up. £1300
1 x 00R6 needing a front light & tyre. £1100
1 x CBR6 needing a bit of work & T/T. £300
1 x NC23 ready to ride away today. £1K.
That's just what I've actually considered and quoted for.
All delivered.  ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies. Get some better happy pills, hit the gym & buy a medallion the size of a dinner plate. Job done |

I'm keeping my mind open, I could buy a 250cc offroad or a 1000cc superbike. Aslong as its around the £600-900 mark and the seller isn't a moron then I'm onto a winner. I don't mind traveling either, I have done for my previous bikes.
Are you selling something dom? |

I've got a ZX6 for sale, and I'm not a moron, but its a bit over budget I'm afraid.
Shame, because I'm really not a moron.  ____________________ Current bike: ZX6R J1
