Default Re: Sale of write-off question!

That K8 frame could well be used for iffy purposes, it has a legit ID, all you need is a K8 you didn't pay for, err, I mean, pay much for. Put the two together and you have a nice clean motorcycle with a spotless legit reg and no dodgy HPI records.

It's called ringing - and what other purpose would someone be selling a shafted frame on eBay for? Particularly when they want 650 notes for it.

Tim, be careful what happens to your frame - there's very few legit reasons for wanting a duffed one.
