    Well done mate
    The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    Ah, you see when I bought my bike, my boyfriend had to ride it home in the pouring rain. It's a much better way of going about it.

    Talk about lucky! It could have gone terribly wrong at many points. The bike coulda been shit, I shouldn't have bought it without seeing it.
    yeah, bought my bike off trademe, didn't see it until i had handed over the money, it got shipped to christchurch, and about a month later i finally saw it, all wrapped in bubble wrap. Then I picked it up (idiot, never lift a 120kg bike by the tail plastic) , and snapped the recently-glued rear fairing piece. Then I got it home, and there went my wage for the next 14 months... busted battery, bent forks, gammy headlights, silent horn, lcd screen that flickered and gave you an estimate of your speed, +- 20kmh, and the ever breaking plastic...
    Glad you had a good experience from trademe. Although I'll probably buy a bike from there again, they're just so darn cheap.

    Theres a negative post. I love my bike though.
