For Sale / Re: 2007 DL 1000 V-Strom
« Last post by Asmith61 on April 29, 2024, 06:34:22 PM »My Adventure rider mate was talking to a bloke at work about his up coming trip. The bloke said he would like to get a bike he could go touring on.
So today he came to have a look at my V-Strom. He was very impressed with the condition and the running of the bike. I said take it up the road for a ride. Which he did when he come back he said it is so different to what I am used to . (Bandit 1200 and current bike Honda CBF 1000 ) he said he is more than happy with the deal. BUT he was not sure at the moment. He sent a couple of pictures to his wife and she replied that’s a lovely bike just buy it you will soon get used to it.
So his decision was to go and think about it and let me know later in the week.

I had the 125 Repsol up on eBay listed as a non-runner/light project as all it needs is a new battery and MOT - I just don't have the time and space with 7 bikes. Had an offer which I acceted. Turns out it's Motorcycle Giant in Shepherd's Bush. anyway, courier comes to collect bike, gets on phone to buyer and confirms condition, all OK. Then he wants to hear it running so the courier pops a little jump pack on it but it won't start (no surprise considering the battery voltage is well under 3v so it'll just soakthat up). Then he tells the bloke to walk away because it won't start! FFS! I listed it clearly as a non-runner!

General Bike Chat / Disgusting behaviour by Cheshire Bike Breakers

They have listed a few YBR Custom parts on eBay with "Make an offer" as an option.
So I put in some offers on a few tid bits I am after. Things like a replacement ECU, Side panels etc.
Example of the bullCinnamon Swirltery. The ECU was listed for £39.99 or best offer. I made an offer for £30 thinking they would come back with a counter of £35 ish.
Nope, They REMOVED the item and re-listed it today for £64.99. They have done the same thing with the other parts. Removed the listing and doubled the price!
Not the kind of thing I will stand for so even if I need a part and they have it. I am not giving them my money now.
I suppose there may still be other people out there who are happy to pay £65 but I'm not since I saw the OG listing price!

I did not sleep well last night and was so tired I only just got past the hazard perception test this time round!
I got 47 out of 50 on the questions and 47 out of 75 on hazard perception. The pass mark is 43 and 44! But a pass is a pss
