Is that pic on TM at a trackday? Do you have any other pics to use instead?
PS, for my own interest, what sort of depreciation would dropping the bike cause? I mean everything on it was replaced with new parts..... :shifty:
Depends how honest u want to be. If there was no evidence of the drop I'd keep quiet.If there was evidence then I guess the extra depreciation would depend on how obvious it is.

My thoughts too... It's as new now, literally, so why shouldn't it sell as such :whocares:

Yes 2 reasons:
1. I have been made redundant! (Company shut down).
2. I need to cut back outgoings as my plan is that in 2 years I am going to buy a yacht and sail round the world!!

Yes. That will probably be one of the most difficult and important things to sort out.

Possibly but unlikely to be honest. Depends on the bike.

Cheers Mate. I must say you take a good photo. Are the photos you post in the gallery of the same pixel count as the camera takes?

Sorry to hear about that, at least new opportunities open up.

I'm ex-army Scottish regiment (armoured corps); what was your unit?

the photos are taken in a orignal 3008x2000 format. I re-sized them down to 1024x768 and with lower compression. They haven't been photoshopped. With photoshop, some improvements can be made.

Here is a photo for you, i had some free time so I edited one of your shots.. hope u like it .. ;)

Not a problem... They are rather large to send, I will pass them to you on CD if you want.. that would be easier. I will pass them to you next time I see you.... :) :)

Saw you two fellas again on Friday.. I was driving he company van about to turn into Waitakere Hospital and saw the blue r1 and dat orange 626 riding along Lincoln rd. Of course the 626 was in front.
By the time I realised who it was it was too late to flash ya's. (not my ass btw)
lol.. churs :niceone:
I do keep an eye out actually, but those buses look so dark inside that it's hard to tell, and if you bliped the light wotnot, then you'd probably clear the road!!

WHo posted the wheelie question on Trade Me? Come on mate I am trying to sell the bike!

is the R1 available on a pay per use / km ? basics :)

I was thinking it will be good to have a operated lease scheme for bikes.... so less hassle for buying and selling.
