    Trademe troll

    Which one of you has the trademe name "roadbikerider (1192 )"

    The question made me laugh

    Also cool bike (don't think it will be legal in NZ with no front brakes).

    None on the back either. Brakes are for posers

    Edit. Asked a question about its anchors and such.

    Looks like a drum brake at the back. Can see the pedal and the linkage etc. You wouldn't stop fast, but it will be slightly better than engine braking haha.

    zoomed in on it and looks like a 3 inch hub. Sprocket makes it look bigger.

    Yeah, it looks like a right hand drive version to me...or maybe I just smoked too much weed?

    Asked a question now, wonder what the reply will be.

    I am assuming that like Fred Flinstone, you would use your feet to stop? Should I buy some special boots for that or will jandals be fine? As stated above, I see that you have said that it appears to be a left hand drive bike...problem is, I am right handed and can't ride a left handed bike easily. Can you change that at all?
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    To the inexperienced eye this appears to be true. The bureaucratic mind knows differently. It is common knowledge, and well supportted by the tinterwebs that all American vehicals are LHD. A lenghty and expensive process is to follow with lots of lovely red tape and paperwar to ascertain what is required to perform the RHD conversion.
    Buyer beware!

    The bike does have a rear brake,it's the standard Triumph welded hub for that year.
    The seller also states very clearly the bike is a resent import and will need to be vinned,,,I guess it will come as a supprise to a bright cunt like you but I'm sure the eventual buyer would be addressing any issues that needed addressing during that process.

    And yes,,,I do know the seller,,and yes we have had a good laugh over the stupid questions being asked by some of the idiots that have tried trolling the auction.

    Pity fuckwits like you don't really know what your talking about,,,could make you dangerous huh,,,wanker

    Funny that you should say you laughed at the questions but come here to cry bitter about them I guess that means you weren't really laughing at them at all eh. . You must have gotten up real early to be there in time to lick your vegemite off his toast when he answered the questions at 7:30 this morning eh! Are you two guys gay (or is it really just the one of you)?

    Pity your boyfriend is too clueless to list the shit that needs money spent on it to make it road legal, I guess he is either too dumb or he is deliberately hiding the issues so he can take advantage of some other idiot homo that thinks it looks cool? ....... You must be very proud to be a friend of such a stand up dude huh!

    Tis me actually, may I ask why you think it's an odd question?

    Americans drive on the other side of the road to us in NZ, and as such the headlights on bikes and cars in that country dip the other way.
    Anyone buying the bike will need to get the headlight changed from LHD to RHD.
    Simple eh, but i'll admit to doing a little bit of fishing when i'm bored ?

    Isn't it only the glass lense with the directional dimples that needs swapping?

    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
