Trademe ad

[COP_B8]

This should keep the grammar nazis entertained for a while:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-104650173.htm

Our joint-venture motor has 5 great characteristics :

1. super quiet sound, gentle and amiable and melodious;

2. horsepower is powerful, it is easy to run quickly;

3. the electricity may be triggered at any moment to open, control and follow one's bent

4. installed the gasoline economizer, appears the more technical inspiration;

5. with the plasma baking varnish, integrates the fashion charm;

6. the performance-to-price ratio is high, for riding instead of walking first choice tool

***only got two of them,hurry and don't miss.good luck for all bidders.***

[Clivoris]

Looks like the perfect set of wheels for inner city commuting. Got your bid in yet?

[COP_B8]

as soon as i work out what;
- gasoline economizer,
- bent,
- plasma bake,
- handbrake,
- 149.0 exhaust,
- melodious
- and fashion charm.

have to do with motorbikes ill be queing up to get myself one of these, im sure the 'dealer' is extremely knowledgable and will have a superb parts service for my new 'fashion tool' though.

[crshbndct]

thanks i needed that

best laugh all day

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Is that a hint of TL1000R or RC51 I see with the exhausts? I love the plasma baking varnish feature, I definitely agree that it integrates the fashion charm.
Sexy Time! :rockon:

[90s]

6. the performance-to-price ratio is high, for riding instead of walking first choice tool

That sellers a choice tool alright.

His spell-check skills are only slightly better than the quality of those bikes.

[yod]

first choice tool

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA

:rofl: :killingme :laugh: :lol:

oh thats going in my profile....how can i resist....:lol:

[rudolph]

in other words he is saying it is a gutless heep of crap witch could brake at any moment and looks very gay

[rudolph]

varnished brakes could be dangerous

[90s]

3. the electricity may be triggered at any moment to open, control and follow one's bent

This is like zen dating advice. Pass it on to your single friends. Especially the bent ones.

[kiwifruit]

LMAO :lol:

Im sold

[COP_B8]

Bling will be awarded too whoever can ask the most entertaining question on his auction and get it answered!!!

And before everyone starts about ruining peoples auctions blah blah blah.... Does anyone really care if these piece of sh*t chinese junk fashion tools are not sold?, and somehow i dont think he has any sort of reputation or credibility to begin with.

[HDTboy]

Is this 3 stroke? Or 5 stroke?

[kevfromcoro]

haha just saw your answer in there...lol...think this guy is chinese that has no idea about wot he is selling

[COP_B8]

haha just saw your answer in there...lol...think this guy is chinese that has no idea about wot he is selling

what gave it away?????

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Just posted on the auction.
Hi there, sorry to ask but is this set up for right hand roads or left hand driving, like America?

[kevfromcoro]

yeah.. i just put one in there...this guy is unreal..he is answering all the ????

[yod]

done:

if the gas economizer was uninstalled would i feel less inspired, technically speaking?? also, i would very much like to integrate some of my own fashion charm, would you sell these with the plasma varnish half-baked perhaps? cheers, KBer


:rofl:

[Chrislost]

i just want to know if the gas econimiser is liek a powerband or more liek a powervalve...

[yod]

how farkin ugly are those wheels !?!?!?!? :shit:

[Sanx]

Hi. Could you please tell me if it has a positive- or negative alignment flux capacitor. Thanks.

Five unanswered questions. Wonder if he's struggling.

[Sanx]

Woohoo ... he answered. Yes, the bike's got a flux capacitor!

[COP_B8]

I asked if the stereo had a cdplayer, of course he didn't mention a stereo at all... but here's hoping it does play cd's !

It'll be a mini goldwing and I will be in love.

Thanx to everyone who asked the questions. I haven't had a seriously good laugh in ages! BTW, the "bike" brand is XINHAU. Those wheels look like they were pressed from rubbish tin lids!

Play fair - all bikes now come with flux capacitors, which can easily be found on trademe and run + or -.

Or can't you make 88mph on your bike?

[zeocen]

If you're going to clearly rip people off from lack of knowledge and sell them a lemon, then hell yeah I/we'll make fun at their expense.

Seriously, a flux capacitor, what the fuck? It's not so much as making fun at others expense, rather than warning a newbie who might have been looking at a cheap first bike.. this guy obviously doesn't know what the hell he's selling.

[N4CR]

lmao!

man i love auctions like this... i hope he understands my question, i wrote it rather comprehensively for best officer horn box cautions to make the comprehend great success?

"
has it the caution warning light for gas economizer reduction in fuel left?
does it have a horn which make strong tootel horn trumpet with vigor melodiously, also because caution the drivers new zealand.
does this motorcycle have key? i wish to avoiding the steal!

edit (should have been 'steel demon')

on another one of his auctions:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/monitors/lcd-monitors/auction-104703814.htm

'1024 x 768 pixes'
someone needs to ask something like this:
"so if i bought this screen it will have 1024*768 = 786432 pixes inside or with it? isn't that dangerous? do you mean??"

i think he'll be confused to hell!

thanks for the auction link cop b8

Here we have a enterprisisng person that really does not have a clue, but well worth the laugh

LMFAO :lol:

[COP_B8]

Lots of fun at anothers expence... Yup thats KB :yawn:

its actually fun at the expense of someone who is importing a product probably unsuitable for New Zealand, unsure if it has been VIN'ed but i doubt the seller knows what that is, and imagine the poor person that buys this as an introduction into motorcycling, it will not be a good first experience, if you are going to sell something at least take the time to know what you are selling. You wouldnt become a prostitute if you were a virgin now would you...

[The Pastor]

mynameis is a lame0r.

[Sanx]

Well, now I know it's got a flux capacitor, I'll just have to confirm it can run the Mr Fusion device ... sorry, Mr Fusion 'technical inspiration' ... and I'll be trading the Blade in and upgrading to the cool and nice sports motorbike with melodious sound, plasma baking varnish and fashion charm.

[N4CR]

Man, you could not script his answers.

Q: if the gas economizer was uninstalled would i feel less inspired, technically speaking?? also, i would very much like to integrate some of my own fashion charm, would you sell these with the plasma varnish half-baked perhaps? cheers, KBer posted by: yod (36 ) 10:44 pm, Thu 14 Jun
A: definitely not.you can uninstall the gas economizer .after that, install some more technical devices and put more fashion design on it to show you are more inspired than the designer.but technically speaking it will only happen after you buy it. cheers 11:33 pm, Thu 14 Jun

I was feeling a little sorry for the sod ...

but then he let slip only one is reg. for the road & vin'd. So I guess one buyer takes their chance in more ways than one.
Also he then referred to them as cars, which seemed a little odd.

6 unanswered questions and the mind boggles as to what they may be.

I have a green bling for the first to buy one.

[COP_B8]

I couldnt pay for this kind of entertainment!!!!! i wonder how long it will keep up for, however his auction has been viewed 1359 times, thats 1100 more views than the honda fireblade listed at the same time.

Just asked him if he could please go and check if the airbag is still installed behind the melodious steering wheel.

[Young&Stupid]

I laughed so hard it hurt... *still laughing.
I wonder if hes got any spare gas economizers... i could do with something "that can safe petrol" for me....

[deanohit]

Just asked him if he could please go and check if the airbag is still installed behind the melodious steering wheel.

Ya mean bastard!!:Punk: Some bloody good questions been asked:rockon: cant wait to see what else is asked and to read some more replies!!I dont think he could sell them at a quarter of the price

(And before anyone asks,my chinese bike didnt cost a quarter of what that idiot is asking!!)

[Kinje]

That is hilarious. Between this and the arrogant welly crew thread i have been pissing myself laughing all night. KB is great :sunny:

[Cr1MiNaL]

ok had ur laughs?? i did too now stop spammin this poor guy. he obviously has no clue about sentence formation.. so what i dont either but then again i speak 6 other languages.. stop mocking him already hes prolly a poor guy tryin to feed his family by makin a few bucks. have some pity guys. ill add this comment for him: "genuine interest only pls, no dreamers? and no test rides due to insurance reasons".

He also has absolutely no idea about the bikes he is selling. The bikes are obviously of low spec and quality, and have no dealer backing. He claims that spares from other makes will fit. I think that everyone who helps anyone avoid buying one of these is performing a public service.

It is my opinion that anyone who gets onto 2 wheels has to have a little bit of common sence atleast. anyone who has any brains would not just buy the bike just like that and would enquire about parts etc as ur point being. however, this does not give us better educated folk a right to spam the guys auction. Hes just tryin to make a sale he has that right. So leave him be with all due respect sir.

[Indiana_Jones]

lol I stuck in a question :D

lol love the guzzi one

[scumdog]

Hmm, the dude selling the bike sure has hell has a black-belt in Engrish and Chinkalese eh?

Still, top marks for persistence!!

(BTW, while not knowing anything about performance/reliability of said scoot it LOOKS just as ghey as most any other sprotsbike I've ever seen)

that was brilliant.

farkin funny alright yohoho
you guys are a riot, you should be on tv or something
The trouble with this is the guy aint biting
On the other hand maybe he is taking the piss out of you lot and is waiting to see who is the stupidest
you know what would be really funny- do it to a kbr and egg him on when he comes onto this forum whining and crying about trademe and when he has one day to go on his auction tell him it was a big joke by his pals!!!
and everyone can have a big laugh together!!
Its always funny to see your "mate" spit the dummy

I almost feel sorry for the seller, he seems quite sincere, although clueless.

[Joni]

I almost feel sorry for the seller, he seems quite sincere, although clueless.I agree fully....:yes:

[Conquiztador]

I know this trader. He arrived from the northern Chingsui province to NZ last Christmas. He has 7 children that have never had a Christmas present. His wife died of the local strain of the Chicken Flu. (Called the Chingsui-drop-dead-chiken-chop-sui) When he arrived he only spoke ChingsuiWonTon. He is now studying english at the same time he works nights at the Pet Food factory in Henderson. As he lives in Howick and has no driver licence he uses a push bike to get to work. As he can not leave his children alone at home he takes them with him on the push bike to work. (One fell off last night and he will go back searching today when his boss lets him off work).

The idea was that by selling these bikes he would be able to afford to buy all his kids a Teletubby for Christmas (Tinky Winky is their favorite). And bring his sister and her 17 children here too, and buy them all a Teletubby too for Christmas (They have yet to make their mind up re if it will be a Lala or NooNoo the little sucker). But if you guys keep on making it tricky for him he will never achieve this dream of his.

So, could you live with that on your concience??

Oh, and I now know where my daughters pink 3 wheeler disappeared...

[Colapop]

No way! Feel sorry for a guy who's trying to make a quick buck of chinese crap? The build quality aint there - it may be in time but it aint there at the moment. It doesn't matter where you go if you want to sell to the locals - at least learn to speak the local language!

[The Pastor]

some of the comments arnt funny, there just rude.

If everyone is so "he should not sell this crap on tm for some retard to buy it thinking its a wof legal motorbike" why don't you post stuff like "this bike will not pass a vin and won't be able to get a wof, its more of an OFF road toy not a motorbike, spares will be hard to get."

No need to make fun of somones poor english skills, I don't think the bike should be for sale on trademe, but its not my right to rubbish his auction like some of you guys are doing. I don't like how some pople put kb on the auction too.

I know what the problem is, you guys obviously have no fun, i'll give you a tip for fun - go ride ya bikes you homosexual fag nut licking hicks.

[Joni]

If people were genuinely concerned they would post well articulated concerns that would hit the target and make potential buyers realise this is not the best bike for a learner in NZ... now all people see are a group of wankers from a place called KB acting like arseholes.

[JimBob]

jeez man........spread some love

You dont think it would be funny? hilarious?

Why else would the comedians use their Trademe logons if they didnt expect some good natured banter next time they tried to run an auction?

I assume all who posted their 'funny' comments to the seller of the bike would be just as happy if a bunch of people took the piss out of them for their inabilities and weakness's?:wait:

Good, it's nice to know that.!!:niceone:

[Colapop]

It's a bit of fun - I wouldn't mind people making comments to me like that! I just see it as a "know your audience" type deal

[breakaway]

[Joni]

do it to a kbr and egg him on when he comes onto this forum whining and crying about trademe and when he has one day to go on his auction tell him it was a big joke by his pals!!!Strange you say this, as I have received complaints from people before saying so and so has stuffed up my auction, please help!

Anyone who has contributed to this thread in a negative way should reconsider ever sending me a pm like that...

my responce will be a link to this post "You reap what you sew, aint life a bitch"

[deanohit]

my questions=
Does this bike run on petrol or diesal and does it have a supercharger to make the flux capacitor work? also is the seat comfortable on bare skin as i am a naturist and like to ride free.

[RantyDave]

If people were genuinely concerned they would post well articulated concerns
...and they would never make it to the auction. I don't see the seller posting an answer to

"Is this bike one of those chinese deathtrap things where the forks collapse at an inopportune moment and kill the rider?"

Although now I mention it, it might actually be worth trying.

He's trying to make a quick buck selling shit and quite probably dangerous bikes to newbie bikers. I want to see him regretting every moment of it.

Dave

[90s]

ok had ur laughs?? ... he obviously has no clue about sentence formation.. so what i dont either but then again i speak 6 other languages.. stop mocking him already hes prolly a poor guy tryin to feed his family ...

With sellers like this caveat emptor, but with an informed market, caveat vendor I say. Understanding what you are selling and being able to communicate would be fairly basic requirements. This is not some hard drive, iPod or other such item that is fairly standard and will be OK to buy in NZ. The comment that any old bikes parts will probably fit it and not being able to identify the maker is fatal. Agree with Joni's intention that we could point out possible problems with this bike, but have to admit that these question would not get an answer and "stuffing up" the auction will at least teach the seller to learn something about the machine. Sure its all gone a little too far ... I didn't post any questions myself, I vuz just following zee orders.

Could djtransonix1 really be interested in buying one of those machines? If you are indeed not an addled buyer but a stealthy kber identify yourself and earn a green bling for correctly identifying us all as idiots.

[JimO]

well i posted some and anybody wants to do the same on my auctions feel free......because i dont give a fat rats arse..he is trying to make a quick buck selling a couple of dubious quality bikes and if he cant understand the english how did he get in to enzed.....is it that easy

I couldn't agree any less with you guys, it's all been done in good faith, pisstake, no harm intended but some people from here are turning way to soft and sensitive about it aye, usual KB PC crap!

I've got some red reps for my comments and green as well :D Lol..

But the fact of matter is it's a piece of shit and should not be sold to anyone at all, well not here in NZ, so who really gives a hoots ass about the buyer trying to make a buck or two.

I don't care about the money he makes, or doesn't make, I am more concerned about the poor fellow biker who buys this shit :angry:

Yes there is a proper professional and more importantly a mature way to deal with it but we all aren't the same so the ones getting to cocky about the shit giving treatment HARDEN UP.

It's all good once in a while as we can see how entertaining it is and yes if I was on the receiving end I wouldn't turn all soft and pussy about it.

Where's the link to Chopper Reid here mate. Wait let me find it:

Anyone who has a problem with this guy's auction should really look at the people who make the standards that allow 'crap' on NZ roads - not some poor sod who's taking advantage of the governments slackness......and if that doesn't buy it - then the old saying "you get what you pay for" should.

[JimBob]

So now we have online safety nazis deciding what should be sold?
Surely not the same people who whinge and moan about the govt, police, ltsa, speed limits, etc etc etc making rules and regulations that interfere with our god given right to blast around at warp factor 9.
But this is different isnt it
hey why not form a committee because with 897,608 items for sale on trademe it must take a while to check everything to see if it is worthy of the KB seal of approval.
You could issue safety compliance certificates.
And safety non-compliance certificates.
At $2 a pop thats $1,795,216
I would do it but I would have to get out of bed

[Jantar]

Go back to the trademe ad and have a close look at the front brake line on the blue bike, then compare it to the orange bike. The brake lies are unsecured and wll certainly not last very long. The brake line on the blue bike is so bad that it could easily catch on the mudguard, and even if it didn't catch it would soon wear and vibrate with loss of brake fluid. This set up would comply with the requirements for a wof initially, as the brakes will certainly work on the day of testing. However a wof is no guarrantee that the brakes will work 10 minutes after the test.

Would any experienced riders here be happy to ride such a bike? Yet this is a 150cc sports bike (sic) that is of the type that would be popular with learners. Learners, I might add, that have no experience of what to look for. I would prefer that learner riders live long enough to progress to bigger and better bikes.

[deanohit]

just checked the listing and it appears to have been edited as all those brilliant questions have dissapeared with only this question left=

Is this 3 strok or 5 strok?

I think that means HDTboy is the winner.
Bling awarded

Insecure brake hoses are a reason to fail a wof inspection.
From the pictures the layout of the lines dont look any different to most bikes. The hose on the yellow bike looks a little tight but that could be just the angle of the photo.
Has anyone actually seen these bikes in person?
Because they dont look dangerous in the pictures.
Someone mentioned the forks snapping, I suggest if anyone has genuine verifiable concerns take them up with LTSA. They can revoke wofs and certification. But they will need relevant facts and a more reasoned argument than most of what we have seen here.

Surely not the same people who whinge and moan about the govt, police, ltsa, speed limits, etc etc etc making rules and regulations that interfere with our god given right to blast around at warp factor 9.
But this is different isnt it
hey why not form a committee because with 897,608 items for sale on trademe it must take a while to check everything to see if it is worthy of the KB seal of approval.
You could issue safety compliance certificates.
And safety non-compliance certificates.
At $2 a pop thats $1,795,216
I would do it but I would have to get out of bed
Well how much would you do it for ? I'd be interested in a job on the committee. For a fee of course.

Oh it looks like the Trademe mods have noticed and deleted the questions. Fair enough!

It would have to be done properly before I have anything to do with it. We will have to form a selection committee to ensure you are of the correct standard, hire a consultancy company to write a mission statement. For those of us who make it through the selection process there will be an arduous training program covering every facet of issuing KB Safety Compliance Certificates (hereafter to be known as KBSCC) including how to lay out your pens and pencils in the correct order for maximum effectiveness, how to sound like an answering machine when you answer the phone, how to adjust your seat in business class without spilling your champers and how to rip off an Arab gold merchant without knowing you have just been ripped yourself.
If you are still standing after a year of this you will be awarded the coveted title of KBSCCIO (KBSCC Issuing Officer) and this will be presented to you by you know who at you know where. (need to know)
On the other hand I wouldnt want to work for anyone who would hire me. (courtesy Groucho)
So you will have to run it yourself

Well, I would not buy any chinese built bikes until they learn a few things from the long time manufacturers on how to do it well.

This guy has posted a new ad, but this time, it seems to be genuine (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Scooters/auction-105113690.htm). Sounds like the scooter he is selling can be easily repaired and can serve as a great inner city commuting workhorse for a poor uni kid.
Let's show the guy that we can make fun of stupid stuff (like his first ad) but take serious stuff seriously.

Quote=this motorbike was stolen one month ago.when i found it one week later,some parts of it had already been took off such as the accelerator on the right handle, two mirrors, the container under the seats and the front wind screen.apart of these,the key hole was also been broken and there is a cut on the seat.
i hope someone who needs spare parts or who is good at repairing motorbikes can take it away.


All sounds a bit dodgy to me.:shit: I see someone has already put $25 on it.
