All went well in the end. The guy was just a bit young and clueless, but brought a knowledeable friend along. Bit of a language barrier but we got there. They tried to knock me down again... I just said no as I won't be able to get another bike, so I'd be stupid to. They'd travelled and hour and half to view it, so if they refused to pay they would have lost out.


It's gone. Felt very sad to hear if roar away. I couldn't bring myself to watch it. It's been a great bike. I think I'll have another again some time. Probably a naked version as a fixer upper project in the future.
