Optimistic sellers

This one made me laugh. Not especially at the bike but the comment about how he got it for his wife but " she has shown no interest whatsoever!"

Haha relationship whoopsies. I wonder if she got him a dog - a little dog - in return?

How did this all of a sudden turn into the bitching and moaning thread?

You are obviously new here.....

[OddDuck]

Yeah we don't need that, . . Here, I'll distract them

Yep. Big dreams vs limited time and energy.

90% of your list were Trail bikes ... and the rest a few scooters that ... apart from some Asian countries ... seldom carried passengers and were built on a budget.

Swing-arm mounted footrests for pillions were par for the course for them.

Draw up a list of road bikes over 350cc (with swing arm mounted footrests for the pillion) and come back to us.



And ask your mother to take your shovel off you ... the hole you've dug yourself into is quite deep enough.

You need to brush up on your maths. 39% of my list were road bikes. Nor was the list complete it was off the top of my head confirmed by pics
You have a katman like ability to constantly change context of what was asked and demand any information meets the new threshold. Troll somewhere else.

the quote was

Not uncommon on older bikes.

Thus i dont have to post anything about over 350CC or Road bikes Nor you i have to prove how often they carried passengers. or ever bother to answer you ever again.
You are an egg.

Back to ignore you go.

How long before husaberg fanboi Troll Jason arrives?

Sorry Dave for clogging your thread.

Pipe wrap but no brown seat i wonder if he ordered the wrong colour
I struggle to see how it screams cafe racer with a peanut tank and a raked front end not dropped through the clamps and not jacked at the rear.
Even SR guy knew that.

Wtf? you see whole Adsian families and their pets(if the haven't eaten them) on a 125,,,Someone is living in an alternate rtiality... They carry more load in there life time than the average high capacity touring bike would so cut the quality crap out will you?

But 10k reserve not met, 20k buy now? You'd really want to have an ugly oddball in your life, especially as riding it would be a giggle for about 3min and then , well you could buy a Mustang or some other cock enhancement.

[F5 Dave]

This strikes me as 15hundy of uncompetitive VMX haveago and then go looking for something better. But hes trying to sell it for the something better price.

Edit, something better for this price
Exhibit A https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/mot...e839d1cd90-009
Competitive.

[F5 Dave]

Some people have a different idea of 99%

They are cool AF (and NZEtas and Vespas and all that) but the only reason I want one is so it can be gutted and an EV powertrain installed.

For substantially less you could probably find a body kit for another scooter that was as funky.

Hmm, here you go for 1min search. Bet there's much older style kits for all sorts out there.

Not sure what this is, but I kinda want it.

. . . I knew no good would come of going down that rabbit hole Google search for weird stuff.



Here you go HDC

Your lack of knowledge before opening your mouth is embarrassing the whole profession.

Just because someone else is being a cock doesn't mean you also have to be a cock.

Sorry Dave for clogging your thread.

You'll be offering him a blowjob next.

To be fair it's not my thread, but politeness is a rare commodity these days.

True.

You're just the most prolific participant here.
