    Not all crashed bikes are bad. But if the guy trying to sell it is prepared to lie his ass off you might wonder what else is wrong with it?
    Lucky escape.
    Bit of a bugger having no bike at all, but if you wait something nice and shiney will come along.
    If you can keep your head when all about you are loosing theirs.........it's quite possible you haven't grasped the situation.

    +1 on that. There are plenty of nice bikes that have been down before......but if they lie about it, there may be more hiding.

    eek No car, not good..

    In my opinion you need a car . You can't do serious shopping, you can't carry the TV you newly bought, and you are stuck when the weather is really bad and your clothes are already wet from the previous ride. A car is a necessity unless you have one available on demand (dad's car, mom's car, wife's car, etc).
    If you ride like there's no tomorrow, there won't be......

    I've never had a real need for a car.
    Just be selfish like myself (no better half, no kids etc) so shopping is a bag full
    Wear proper gear, I don't get wet and I live in Eketahuna for goodness' sake!
    Don't buy dumb shit you can't carry? I'd rather spend my money on bikes than a TV.

    I have it sorted (I've owned more cars than bikes by the way, it doesn't make sense)

    If you buy a sports bike then the fuel tank is usually big enough to carry stuff on. My fuel tank has carried a 10kg bag of chicken feed on it, and 2 large pizzas (not at the same time though). The glovebox is also big enough to fit a few ounces of "herbs", so I'm sorted.

    If you buy a bike with at least a 2oz capacity glovebox then you'll have enough room to stash your phone and a few other bits and pieces when it rains.
