Mad-laners Megathread

[Paul the 6th]

can ya see my dilema a little bit now? all out of my budget, and the ones which are closest to my absolute upper limit are either as old as my dad or have been to the moon and back..

So I'll wander back onto ebay and look to see if the DR-Z's are still sub-£1500 but they're all classified's near to £2k or auctions at £1500 with 3-5 days today....

Blimmin expensive! Might just buy a stolen/recovered sv650 and stick some knobblies on it

Had a look at the others, one guy wants £1800 for a 1987 bike , then theres a high miles 06 for same money.

You mean this one?

Where is this £1150 XT? Autotrader tells me it's 0 miles from me, which can't be right.

I just assumed that you had stripped your postcode for data protection stylee?

I was gonna just track it down the old fashioned way. When I was in the navy and we found a car/bike on autotrader, we would use 3 different postcodes to triangulate roughly where it was... also useful for finding sandwich shops and petrol stations

What about this bargain, act quick !!!

if I had the cash I'd be able to get there in about an hour, still waiting on replacement credit card which has been sat in a draw waiting for a rainy day... Probably can't actually afford it but you only live once? the guy sounds a tiny bit like a nutcase as well
