i have decided that motorcycling is dangerous so i have to get rid of my bike. i never really enjoyed it to be honest and i only done it to meet new friends.

as you can see from the photo below its a well negelcted and completely standard sv650, nothing works properly and is a complete rust bucket.

A Kinder egg, Haribo and £5.73

that sounds tempting but i need £10,000 to get the money i have spent pursuing the hobby, this includes petrol, bad servicing, all the times i have had to call the breakdown recovery and of course the price of the bike. i want every single penny i have spent on it back.

Looks decidedly dodgy to me. The pillion pegs have fallen off and looks like some idiots put the forks on upside down!

I'll swap it for a pressure washer which has a bit of a leak since it froze in the garage a few years ago. Can you deliver?

so that's why it wont go round corners very well, stupid mechanic. i thaught pillions were there to push the bike.

hhhmmm a leaky jetwash, sounds interesting.

Nice pad Bibs no wonder you need the cash, must cost a fortune to heat.

yup owning a castle has it's drawbacks and this is why i'm desperate on cash.

I think you're trying to sell at the wrong time of year, most of the potential buyers are busy rehearsing panto....

What you need is a low pressure jetwash. Saves a lot of time and money when it comes to cleaning drawbridges. And as it leaks it'll keep the moat topped up too. Seems I may need you to give me some cash as well as the bike to sweaten the deal as this is going to be so beneficial to your overall quality of life.

Oh and if you ride the bike down here for me I can give you a lift to the station and a free carrier bag for the accessories for the jetwash.
