Optimistic sellers

[pritch]

No no. You just did it again. Look up desecrated.

I know what it means.

What we say here is just our individual opinion. Your's is often different to mine, but it'd be boring if we were all the same. It's not like the comments we make are appearing on his TM page and damaging his chances of a sale. He's done that himself.

Since you've alluded to dictionaries: today someone used the word "anthropomorphising" in a social media post to Jorge Lorenzo. It was used correctly, but using it all seems a bit ummm inconsiderate(?) when writing to someone for whom English is a second language.

The thing is that I just don't trust people to modify a bike that much and not render it an awful running potentially dangerous vehicle. Most people don't understand jets and heaven help critical engineering.
Drew will counter that I've been hanging around buckets too long. But consider this; these bikes have been built for so called looks as their primary reason to exist.

And then sold soon after abortion. I mean completion.

I like that. Its got a purse and everything else a metrosexual such as myself could need.

Reminds me of rear spoilers on some high-end performance cars. Companies spending millions of dollars optimising airflow and down force balance only to be chucked away for a "bigger" and "black" looking one by a chump.

I didn't even see that. What looks to be a Brooks saddle took my eye. I've got one here, perhaps I should use it to start a custom bike?

That implies that the owner is somehow obliged to only do with their possession as dictated by you or others.

It is an inanimate object, it is his or hers to do whatever with.

I don't see why people are so offended by the bikes. The prices are often fucking ridiculous, but that's true of many sellers of standard bikes too.

That's the point of this thread you retard - either the bike is whack or the price is stupid.

I wouldn't want to own it but I like it.

I bet you like Pubs with taps in the Gents like this.

There must be some sort of manual for building these things and you get kicked out of the beard and real ale club if you deviate from it.

Like the CB900, the world is not short of that model - and they'll never be collectible - so have at it. Makes amusing viewing anyway.

The 650 I must say sets new standards with an exhaust wrap styled seat - and novel - possibly original - use of wrap on the fork uppers too...

"anthropomorphising"

had to look that word up. yup could be applied to any number of top riders. bloody aliens taking on human forms

[Voltaire]

Nearly tripped over my slippers and dropped my pipe.

I translated a few bits....

"Suspension sorted" , its got some old Koni shocks from the 70's

'Brakes upgraded front and rear", its got new pads and shoes.

Unusual to see a kickstarter on a post 81 model.

I may have sold the K100 for less than it was worth. If this is a 9 grand bike the K100 could have fetched 15? But I was asking well under 5.
