I see our "cuctom twin pipe exaust system sounds mint like a hog!!!" fellah has got a TM relisting with some extra pics of him doing a smoky burnout.
Does this help selling bikes??
I dunno if I could see Crasher Pete doing a burnout on a new K7 Gixxer out the front of Welly Motorcycles for a prospective buyer.....

I would be less interested in a bike that someone was doing that to, I want one that has been cared for...:laugh:

ditto.

good question to ask would be "does this come with a new rear tyre?"

What language is this please? I tried to put it into
http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr to find out what it means but you have to pick the language to translate it from and red-neck wasnt a choice!
"no desil needed bra didnt have ne yip it can spin it any wea ne time prob wasnt even 20 sekonds 2 start smoking like that jus the time it takes 2 take 3 fotos in a row that only first gear as wel havnt don that before but it was fun haha ther was ruber all up my back and it wont cum off lol this bike is easy 2 menover in and out of corners u can make it go sidwayz ne wer an not fall n lees u cant ride first time shez had a drive in 6 months started first pop was my ride 2 work 4:44 pm, Thu 27 Sep"

Are you sure that's a burnout and not just smoke pouring out of the engine as it attempts to commit suicide?

Good to see that the time spent in school pays off eh!?!

What's with the 5th picture for the ad anyway? I don't get the connection... :crazy:

Also, can anyone explain to me what's up with all these maltese crosses I keep seeing all over the place as soon as someone is showing just a small amount of chrome?

He answers that in his comments: "forester 4 sale also taking offers 90,000km new 2 country been vind no wof or reg hapy biding cheachea "

If you look at his feedback he purchased it just a few weeks ago (for over 2k) and was told that it could not be made road legal - guess he though better and found out he wasnt as smart as he thought he was.:bash:

Yeah, I saw it in the comments after I posted here. Still - that's another truly annoying habit some traders have of trying to sell something else entirely on the same auction.
Besides "happy biding" can't really apply when there isn't an auction on it. Perhaps someone should tell him...

He only needed to add "bid with confidence on this marvelous item"... :crazy:
