Wanna go halfsies?

So long as we get the bike before handing over the cash! Too good to be true!

I'm only on my learners but if I knew that deal was true I would have already paid the 3 grand.

Must have meant $13000...

I don't think you could get the bike before the cash.

perhaps $8000

or the guy knows nothing about motorcycle prices.

Its incredible to think people are selling 250's from the early 90's for 5 grand.

Gentlemen, think twice about emailing people like this again, the reason being is they use unreal bargains like this to harvest email addresses, which will then be sold to spammers, who will now bombard your email with offers of cheap Viagra, and other "legit" medications, or marital aids.

Trust me on this one.

That's why I love having my own domain hosting... i've got a catch-all address with mail rules in Outlook... if I start getting too much spam on one address then it just gets re-routed to the Junk folder, and I use another one.

Friends? What the hell are they?

My only friends are the guys who work in the pie shops I frequent, and they never eMail me.

The account owner probably doesn't even realise someone has/had gained access to his account, he was otherwise a perfect trader.
