Thinking of selling my bike :cry:

Post by TristanTRX » Tue Jan 20, 2009 2:42 pm

Credit crunch is biting hard here and it starting to look like the bike will have to go!

Not had it long, but will really miss it, if do sell it that is.

It has blue spots, braided lines front and rear, Virgin paint job (not to everyones taste, but it's been done well), 21K (take that with a pinch of salt though as there is no real history to speak of), scorpion cans, new Dunlop D208's front and rear less than 500 miles ago. Loads of other bits I've probably forgotten.

Not in a rush (YET), sensible offers invited.

Tristen there are some other options you may wan't to consider before selling your bike;children I believe still fech a good price in some countries,so if you've got some of them to sell(especialy before they become teenagers)that would help.If that fails then there is Rockets sure fire plan to finacial security;
step 1 rob a bank.
step 2 spend the money
alternative step 2.Get caught by the law.Then you will get free board and lodging for about 5 years,internet access ,colour tv and maybe learn a new trade.
bike will be waiting for you when you get out and the credit crunch will be over. :D



hopes this helps

I recommend marrying a young, good looking person with a large inheritance coming. :D

Wish I'd thought of that before marrying... #-o

I've already done that, but the inheritance is taking it's time! Maybe I could hurry that along a little?
