Tyres: Free to a good home

[Drunken Monkey]

After deciding I like Diablo Corsa's so much I'm not going to buy any other type of tyre for the gixxer, I have a couple of spare front tyres left over.

They are:
Avon AV49-SP 120/70ZR17
Michelin Pilot Sport 120/70ZR17

Because I am offering them 'free to a good home' to any KB member (no vargants!) , please DO NOT bombard me with complicated questions, ie how much tread depth, condition, what will they fit on, etc... or make complex requests like 'can you ship it to...' - You can't get them any cheaper than this (unless someone pays you to have them), so I won't be doing ANYTHING at all that requires any effort or costs me time/money/hassle.

Ideally the interested party will 'bags' them on this thread, then come and collect from my flat in Mt Wellington.

If you really really feel quite guilty about taking such items from me for such a price, you can help by kindly making a small donation to spankme's fund for running the website - details elsewhere on the homepage. A box of Heineken's may also be appreciated, but not necessary at all.

Peace.

He's cracked I tell you. We should send him money for his medication.

Nice offer Sir. ( I don't want them because they are the wrong size. Please try to give away free stuff I can use in future)

If you could come and pick it up, that would be ideal. I'll PM some details.

[loosebruce]

Ah fuck where was i when this post went up, if it all turns pear shaped on the pilot i'll take it, i just killed my front pilot, and after the bin earlier in the week money is tight, so the tyre will wait, a little while, unless i can tick it up.

[Drunken Monkey]

Celtic still hasn't figured out how he's going to get it, seeing as he lives in Wellington.
If you ask him nicely, he might do you a favour...

I've still gots me a tyre with your name on it Celticno6 (or is that Loosebruce now?)...

Can either of you give me an update?

If Bruce don't want it, I *might* be able to convince my colleague to take it with him to Wellington for work next week (or the week after, I can't remember exactly)

Sadly, my Wellington KB friends, this does mean that I'm in fact NOT scheduled for work down there this spring. On the other hand, I have loads of airmiles to chew up, so I might still make it for a few brews before Christmas...

I had offered it to Bruce but if he doesn't want it, then I'm definitely IN. Delivery to WElly would be absolutely fantastic.

[Drunken Monkey]

Fair 'nuff then.

You have my PM.

[Drunken Monkey]

Celtic, you will be able to pickup the tyre from tomorrow lunch-time.

Will PM you the details.

[Drunken Monkey]

Hope you are both happy with your purchases, hah-dee-ha-ha-ha...

Pearls of wisdom to all those who missed out (yes that means you, Bruce):

You snooze, you lose...
