I've bought a replacement frame for it now along with a lot of other things to make it safe.

He has now offered to pay for the frame. That's all I asked for at the beginning. Which is far more charitable than anyone else would be. That resolution being snubbed in the first place is what has ...

I sold a bike to a member of this forum.
He paid my full asking price. He then sent the bike to a well respected mechanic and race prep guy to have some mods and farkles fitted.
The mechanic turned up some defects that I was unaware of.
Not too expensive to correct, but baring in mind he'd paid my ...

His only response is

"I had no idea. I'm sorry"

Small claims could be on the cards.

I don't have any documentation to prove it was inspected. Just his word and the name of the dealer. Who I am going to contact tomorrow.

I have a long messenger conversation telling me that the bike is straight and true and that it was checked by the dealer ...

What do you do when you're sold a bike which turns out to be essentially an unsafe write-off ??? The bike was bought unseen but from a 'Reputable and honest' acquaintance. The bike had been promised and assured to be straight, in good rideable condition and with the promise that it had been ...

An ABSOLUTE STEAL at £1999

It's a very straight and tidy touring bike. Fantastic for road touring the UK and Europe.

Excellent MPG, comfort and great for Two-up.

Far quicker and much more reliable than a Bavarian break-down.

Only selling due to buying a new bike that I ...

It's certainly not easy to get away on long bike trips.

I was lucky. I spent my 20's and early 30's riding around the world. No cares, no responsibilities and little regard for the future. I rode up and down South America, Uk-Capetown and all over Europe. I canoed the Yukon and backpacked around ...

Hi..

If you're doing any off-roading, you might want to consider upgrading your Rims.

They tend to suffer badly and bend when anyone takes these off-roading. The rims are a cheap budget item on the bike and were never intended for off-roading.

Like someone said, the stator is a weakness ...

I don't think people have any problem with the costs. It sounds like it's WELL worth it and if anyone else was putting it together it would cost you £300.. The organiser is being a top bloke by NOT ripping people off because no doubt the GS brigade would pay £500 if it meant they could have another ...
