A few too many times now while the bikes been on ebay have I had people asking a million questions. Saying they're coming to look and then cancelling/not showing up.

Most recently a bloke who I thought was a certain sale, made all the right noises etc. I sent him a message to ask what time he'd be coming to view the bike in the morning.

Matt, seen another bike m8 not coming over now.

to be fair to the bloke, he did follow it with an appologetic phone call so Im not pi55ed with him, he seemed decent enough just frustrated that its not gone though.

In other other news, the metoffice forecasted patchy rain here and there from 6pm onwards - no problem I'll be able to commute in a bit of rain with my leathers and hoodie over the top to keep the water out..

since then they've changed their mind and swapped this:http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/lib/images/symbols/w9.gif with this: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/lib/images/symbols/w13.gif

:thumbsup: nice work guys... as a thank you I'm going to give their statistics on climate warming some encouragement by killing 4 polar bears this weekend.



With a shovel.

+1 to that!
[forecast] Light patchy rain in plymouth......dry at Surrey
[reality] pooring rain 85% of the way..... fantastic.

But on the plus side i found out my visor is leaking again :smt092

Are you just advertising on E-Bay?
Put a post on Gumtree, Motorcycle Supermarket (no idea on cost there) and Bike-exchange.com (put some contact details in the listing as they charge for getting them but free to advertise).

I have to admit, I know your problem, I had it form the other end when i was buying my SV, saw one, phoned seller, arranged to go see and the last minute they pulled out/sold to another person.
1 of them i was glad as i found out on a HPI text check that the bike had 12 owners, written off and from the pictures looked in a sorry state. (same person but different pics of same bike on another listing site).

I'm sure you'll find a buyer soon enough.

It annoys me getting repeat offers of quarter of the asking price...
I put a bike on freeads(.net?) relatively successfully.

[Owenski]

Yeah I know what u mean face, got this one muppet called Derek on mine. Recon I'll accept if he can stretch about £1400 further ;)

[Dave20046]

I'm sure he's a reasonable gent really.
Did you get my painting email btw matt? No need for a response, just making sure I sent it to the right address!

[Owenski]

yeah i did, you sent it well past my bedtime so when I saw it read it and closed it I also forgot about it. :) thanks for the reminder I'll give it a read.

Contemplating fixing the pointy plastics too, surely it'll sell better as "Mint condition repaired Cat D" than it will "Cat D (with some minor scratches still on it)".
