Re: Just Brought An Sv
That's "hlaf_lyfe"'s bike. Also known as "half_lyfe" on bikechatforums.com.
It's been crashed, which totally destroyed the front end and most of the plastics. The original engine detonated when he let it run out of oil, so that's a new engine in there too. None of this was done through insurance though, he repaired it himself, so it won't show as a write off. http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewto...er=asc&start=0 There was the damage originally ^ . http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=1758006 There's him replacing the engine ^ . |

Re: Just Brought An Sv
Knew i had seen it before, just 100% sure I had seen it as crash damaged, yet the Tw*t mentioned nothing about it in the Ebay advert!

Re: Just Brought An Sv
We, personally, wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. Really think you should have been told it had been crashed and had an engine replacement.
In our experience, re-sprayed paintwork is never as durable as OEM either.

Re: Just Brought An Sv
the bodywork isn't a problem, I work part time at a bodyshop and can get it resprayed properly and baked on for little money.. it's the mechanical side I'm worried about

Re: Just Brought An Sv
Personally I would get your deposit back , the second I saw the twin renegades I knew it was Half Lyfe`s bike , he`s ragged it . And this is why you shouldn`t do deals outside of eBay with regards to large mechanical things , your screwed for any protection now I`m sorry to say . I hope you can get your money back man , if you decide to go that route .
Insurance wise , try direct choice , they have been the cheapest for me for the last 3 years Last edited by xXBADGERXx; 20-04-08 at 04:28 PM. |
