Sometimes its better to just cut and run...

Still waiting for the call...... decided that if its £500 or more then there'll be no more car. I did come up with plan b though...... sell Jeffs bike instead, he doesnt use it anywhere near as much as he should or love it anywhere near as much as i love mine

A test ride costs nothing

Hope it doesn't come to that I am sure you will work something out between you

Stu from the Guildford Massive might disagree Rob.

He damaged his test bike and lost the 1k deposit (or something along those lines)

Incidentally, talking of test rides, the new Ducati dealer in Uppingham, does test rides on virtually the whole range including 1198 with no CC swipe required.

Has he lost many yet?

No, they usually break down 200 yards away from the dealership

It's the Harley dealers, so I suppose they know what they are doing. Harleys are even more expensive than Dukes.

We'll have to have another meet there, now that there's something of interest to look at

That'll be those Harleys again, SP

Wouldn't want to bump start a harley...

Thats not good KJ like a few others have said it if its going to be to expensive sometimes its better to get rid. One lad i know buys his cars from an auction, he picks them up for a couple of hundered with around 9-10 months mot and when its next due an mot if its going to cost more than he paid for it to fix he just gets rid and buys another.
