You are best putting a shout in the Regionals section rather than the B&B Goose.


I'll shift the thread over for you

Eddie - much appreciated!

Listen "cookie" has contacted me and I forwarded him the mobile number for the chap. He's going to have a look - BUT said he's got a bad back and won't be able to ride the bike.

Was going to call the chap this morning?

Any chance you might be able to contact Cookie and perhaps meet up with him and maybe do a second-opinion thing... perhaps take it for a ride to make sure the engine's still actually in one piece?

Belizibub's been great as well - also found that the bike was advertised on Gumtree 3 months ago with 26000km on - now it's on Ebay 3 months later with exact same mileage... so either the dude doesn't ride and it's been in storage.... or maybe it "cannot ride..."

Would appreciate mate!

Goose, I'm just down the road and have some friends who run a workshop in the area. If you're still after someone to have a look please let me know.

hey thanks for that!

Cookie was the gent that went out of his way to go and check the bike out for me.
There were one or two issues regarding the paperwork and the bike not being in the seller's name .............. but when the price went over 1200 quid, I lost interest and would rather use those type of funds to pay for the shipping of my bike to the UK.

Offer very much appreciated!

Thanks to all the blokes that helped - especially Cookie, who does not know me from Adam, yet was still prepared to go out of his way for a stranger. As Belizibub mentioned to me, this forum and it's cameraderie still amazes us!
