    Negative Feedback reads: "Poor understanding of English and TradeMe (from what I understand) lead to the individual clicking buy now with only the intent to look at the car, causing a wasted afternoon waiting for someone who did not follow through with their purchase."

    Sounds like an opportunity for a free test ride

    Always hard to tell you need both sides. Maybe guy shows up and it's a piece of polished crap and sez fuk off. Or just a dick.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Or a guy turns up, shows his dick wanting a discount for 'favors' and posts negative rep when he gets a smack in the face. Shit happens in the mean streets - trust no one.

    Yeah for sure. Mate had some Cuzzie show up to see his XR250. Test ride. Hmm. He's taking a while. Wonder how he got here? No car . . .

    Be interesting to know what happened to his bike collection he kept pretty much every bike from about 1/2 way through his career some even earlier.
    Likely the tasty 125 Twin he very nearly stole the championship on as a privateer.

    When did exposing the timing belts on Ducatis become a thing?

    Are people finding modern Ducatis too reliable?

    It's a wee bit trendy on the custom builds - just for shits and giggles because watching mechanical bits work is trouser stirring.

    As you rightly point out there is a risk of a small stone or something shitting out the belt and making a mess of your fancy desmo valve gear.

    I remember when the clear top bevel covers were all the rage.

    There was a guy with an S4R Monster down here who used to run it with no belt covers, no clutch cover, no mudguards etc etc.. I shudder to think how much crap ended up where crap isn't supposed to be!

    I know it's not a bike but I stumbled across this while looking for ammo to rile up a ricer mate of mine in Nelson.. Looks like someone actually bought it though!!

    My TT500 had a cam window std.

    Admittedly rather small but you could see the cam position marker. Never looked while it was going.
