e-mailing about buying a bike

have the valve clearances been done? is this something at 16k???

Have you sent it yet? if not maybe make it easier to read and less short questions. Bike looks very nice, hate to admit it but it looks great in yellow!

Wouldnt it just be easier to ring the seller and have a chat with him over the phone. That way you could get a better idea of what he's like as a person etc etc. I wouldnt use email its a bit faceless for stuff like that.

So right down a list of questions you want to ask on a bit of paper before you make the call and just work through your list...

I'll happily offer to ring him if it helps you out matey?

i just realised its 3 hours away

I'd ask him how fast a cheetah can run, which is heavier the European or African swallow and what his favourite colour is.
After all, there's no sense in just you getting in a kerfuffle.

i think kerfuffle is the best word in the world

Nope its 6 hours away, remember the return journey!

And Cardiff to Bournemouth is 120 miles and thats by a route I wouldn't go (just M4 it up to me and head down on the Poole Quay road, much more fun). But even if it is a good 'un how do you intend on getting yourself down there and then you and the bike back?
