Amazing what you find on Ebay

My old bike...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4554172191

 

What an illiterate fuckwit.

 

SteveH says...

Could be worse, he could be (pseusdo)Welsh

 

And no signs of the replacement engine he's managed to shoe horn in.

 

Heh. Hadn't noticed that.

 

"No it has not been crashed"

 

I hadn't realised you could put stuff up on ebay using a phone.

 

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Still makes the same sort of bhp/litre
as your average Harley.

 

"Much"

I just hope someone's fixed the clutch because it was slipping like
mad when I got shot. And apparently it's only done 5k miles in 6
years.

 

Did you know it was being ridden by an illiterate fuckwit?

 

Hah! That'll teach me to read things first.

 

Was it as pig ugly when you owned it ?

HTH

Paul.

 

How does someone with that apparent level of written english make it's way
in the world?

I think you've just answered your own question, Chief.

 

Priceless.

 

Aye, the shame of it.

I'm wondering whether I should correct him when he says it's never
been crashed in the questions. Does being ridden into the side of a
Mondeo at 50 odd count as a crash? Or being sent down the road twice
due to the owner before me[1] over cooking it on bends.

The fairing on it is the one I fitted I think and the screen, the tank
and seat unit have either been replaced or resprayed since though.

Na, it was lovely when I had it. Pucker Yamaha paint job and
immaculately clean. My mate did a superb rebuild on it after he
crashed it.

Then I crashed it.

 

Ben scribbled:

Is it definitely your bike and that was the buyer who bought it off
you? If yes I can email ebay and tell them that that buyer is
attempting to defraud buyers.

 

It's got the same reg as my old bike and I've spotted a couple of
things on it that I fitted. It was actually the owner of the bike
before me who spotted it on Ebay. But it's not the person I sold it
to.

He probably isn't intentionally defrauding. I part-ex'd it at
Streetbike in Halesowen against the SV in May 2000. According to a
vehicle check the last change on owner was in 2002. So it looks like
there has been at least one owner in between him and me. It's likely
he doesn't know anywhere near the full history of the bike.

Anyways, I'm going to email him tonight and fill him in a bit. It'll
then be up to him what he tells prospective purchasers.
