FFS. Some people are just natural born sales folk, aren't they?

It makes you wonder what's wrong with the other side when they only post up pictures of one side.

Almost as bad as the car dealers who state "5 speed manual" as the only description.

Most informative and fully featured classified I've ever seen. You can just sense his genuine interest to sell.
10 points that man.

Just before yogipene took these pics of his bike, someone told him, 'Remember, a picture tells a thousand words'. Unfortunately, yogi took them literally.

Looking at his feedbacks it appears he is a man of few words, but a few sales nonetheless.

i'd have thought anyone looking at it would have a fair idea of what it is. and anyone genuinely interested can get in touch with him via cell or whatever. its been my experience that people who ask a hundred questions about something are almost never the ones to buy it, or even bid on it.
ps - i want it, he must be doing something right

Hey... just because he doesn't sell bikes all his life etc... no reason to go bashing the poor fella. I don't tell you how wrong your computer set up is ya know. (its wrong isn't it?)
Besides, if he did write something, someone would probably criticise his grammar.... sometimes ya just can't win aye?

I actually don't give a toss, just can't believe that people would not even bother with a brief description if they're trying to sell something.

then when you ask a question, they either never answer it, or say - 'you can come in and have a look if you want'
sure dude - i live in cambridge - it's a little drive from the north shore. i'll find one in dunners instead (based on a true story!)

It would be nice to know a bit of history so you can decide whether it's worth a trip to see it or not. I don't think id bother with a bike that had nothing to say that I should buy it (unless it was one I really liked). On the other hand, I hate auctions that say all this crap like I spent $2000 on a titanium spoke and its blue with pink bits but looks like black with red bits. Useful information (that I can't see from the pics) is useful.
