If you know how to do something, share it with other members. i.e How to fix a puncture...How to ship a bike to Alaska etc. The post with the most 'Thank You' votes in a month wins an ABR Hoodie.

1. See the bike you want on the internet
2. Tell the selller what you want to pay
3. Sort the paperwork, insurance etc out
4. Go get your new bike on a trailer
5. Bike still in bits around the garage...
The lightest piece of kit is the one you leave behind...

Well done both of you....
I hope he enjoys it.
Mine humours me by ringing in when he's arrived at wherever he's going; only takes a minute and saves me from even more grey hairs!
The end of the road is the start of the fun



A bad day on the bike is still better than a good day at the office

Picked it up last night! GOD I LOVE BRITAIN :woohoo: :woohoo:

I took a chance on this one on Ebay, the pics where crap, the description was crap so I took it for a snip! Got to the house and the owner came out to wave which flat it was,high as a kite, went in, signiture staffy and smelling sweeter than a sugar factory :laugh: :laugh:

Bike in perfect condition although very grubby, new tyres, loads of T&M, brand new Givi box, £30 worth of Oxrord lock and a full set of quality gear to re-sell (the Frank Thomas jacket is so nice I`m going to have my arms shortened and loose 3 stone ;) )

The whole package was worth £300 more on a buy it now :laugh: result B)

This is the third time Ive had a similar scenario on Ebay although on one of them on the Seacroft,Leeds estate I feared for my life (well my pile of cash and my 4x4 :laugh: ) because of the botched deal going wrong in the room next door :unsure:

cheers Marc
Too many Cagiva Elefants, Gran Canyons and Ducatis!
