    If you screw them up we'll just spray paint them outside Stephen's garage at 2am, that was fun!

    Oh yes, if you market it correctly you are riding a one-off work of art! Raised the value of rob's bike, anyway :P

    WOF expired Nov 07. Last check was unsuccessful.

    Rego is out by 2 months, and on hold by the look of it.

    Hang about.

    If the Wof expired on 17th Nov 2007 (agrees with issue date of May 2007) how did he manage to get it registered on 14th Nov 2008 ? You have to have a current WoF to register a vehicle.

    EDIT: Forget I spoke, The last registration in Nov 2008 will in fact have been an exemption. It's been off the road for a good while.

    how did you get the license plate? I couldn't see it.

    Its only done 17k, so if he's willing to get wof + rego put on it, I think thats probably a pretty good deal, anyone disagree?

    If I find no intelligent person (as in with an actual reason for disagreeing) saying no, who wants to check it out with me sometime soon

    Remember, although:
    Last inspection was unsuccessful on 22nd November 2008.

    I said if he's willing to get wof + rego, as in we check it out, let him know that condition, and if he gets a wof + rego then he gets money and i take bike

    I could read at least 4 of the digits, just guessed the 5th one till i got it right.

    I reckon if you can get him to get a wof for it then it will definitely be worth a look. Would actually be a pretty good deal if it checks out mechanically and was made fully road legal.
