I thought to run a proper legit business you need things like a landline number and so fourth. By all means give it a go but def. be wary

i will give him a ring. just to see, but not sure if i fancy buying off them, as it seems a bit strange, if its just a guy with a lock up container selling them, with no workshop i guess there wont be much of a warranty?

and is a bit of a treck, if im not 100% sure about them

Why not tell him your concerns and ask for a landline contact number ? perhaps he is genuine and doesn't realise how it comes across ?

nothing to loose.

Cheers Mark.

I googled and got the address off the Carol Nash site

IR Motorcycles
7 Longleat Square
Farnborough
Hampshire
GU14 7EE
01252 573680

http://www.carolenash.com/locate_dea...outh_easti.asp

Bit of a trek, yes, if you want one of us to go and do a quick check that the dealer does exist at that address, just ask us in the guildford section. I'm sure someone would help.

You can even pester Sarah to do it as she's one of the GM!

I've lived in Farnborough for a while and never heard of that name - just goes to show though I suppose.

You can see from the map that the address is residential Hovis, but theres a fair few industrial estates that end of Farnborough, going into Aldershot (inc North Camp) which could be where the lockup is.

Very odd in my opinion not to have an address / landline on a website, but like has been said, it could be 100% legitimate.

just spoke to him, he seems ok?

he runs it from his home, and is a LTD buisness.

looking at £2500 + my bike which seems ok, but it will need the big 16000mile service soon, which he said he cant do, as he has no machanic


now.......... who wants to testride a fireblade?
