The folk running those competitions that TinPan loves will buy bikes like that. I know a fella who advertised his bike and they didn't come to look,just paid the full asking price,then sent a courier.

He bought a ticket to win it back. :D

The courier is coming for it 7:30am Wednesday.

The money has been sat in my savings account for almost two weeks. I've been too scared to do anything with it until the bike has gone.

The wife wants to spend most of it on a new combi boiler!

Yup, it's being registered to an address in NI so it can stay on the current plate.

It's gone!

The courier had another four bikes to collect today.

The V5 has been done online.

All done and dusted.

I just need to persuade the wife that we don't need a combi boiler now.

Where I live if you hear an Irish accent it's a 'traveller'. So in true racist fashion I assume all Irish are out to rob me.

Ditto. :D

My M-i-Ls friend is Irish, has black hair and sounds like a traveller and gets treated like one al the time. Shes used to it but sometimes she gets some proper abuse! She hates travellers more than anyone else around her because of it! :D

I've always thought that you were a full on bender, you just needed a decent hat, so get yourself down to Soho and try a cowboy hat, or perhaps one of those Soviet type of caps worn by less classy benders.
Hope this helps.
