Oh thats right you already mentioned that you got above what you expected and therefore rushed home as quick as you could just to offload it! Hypocrite!

The difference being, I disclosed any and all issues which I knew of. Such as the centre stand needing a bolt, the front discs needing machining but still plenty of meet on them and that the bike was a repairable write off! I didn't fraudelently present the bike to them.

I really can't beleive you don't see what you did as wrong! I guess it is indicative of your character!

You have miss read the thread. I didn't do it. I saw it done.


And the trade in price?

Well from what you wrote, it sounds like you were pretty closely involved in the entire process. However, maybe you are correct and I misread it! However, what I havn't misread I am pretty sure is that you not only condone this behaviour, you also publicly support it and believe it to be the right thing today. That is what really concerns me!

Would you like to know the stamp duty amount also? And what I paid for the tyres? What about my undies size? How does fuck off sound to you!

Sounds a bit like a whiney little girl to me.

You bitch about my ethics but are unable to prove your own argument by providing the trade in cost. So as when it appears next week on Autotrader for twice the price for some other schmuck to pick up you can feel confident in the ethics of the motorcycle trade?
I never said I condone it. I said I saw it happen. I made comment in the begining that they buy rubbish hence sell rubbish. If it happened this once then how many other times has it happened to this dealer? Did they buy it unknowingly and pass it on knowingly or not....only they know. How many times does it happen all around the country.

Trading insults here on the internet is futile. You asked for facts, I gave them, you sniped me and then ended in a " Go Fuck yourself"

Another Vic with anger management issues ?

If either of you actually KNEW me, you may read my posts slightly differently! Not that it matters, you have the right to your opinion.

As to being whiney. You slander a dealer, who you were involved in an act of fraud against and you call him the dishonest one. As to the amount he paid me for the Beemer it is quite frankly no ones business apart from mine, Spot-On Motorcycles, Vic roads and the stamp duties office. As for what Spot-On will make on the bike, that's his business and I have no issue with him making money! Good luck to him and I still fail to see how he is doing anything other than conducting business? Having run a dealership or two in my time, both car and motorcycle, I know the commercial realities of buying and selling motorcycles. Yes some ignorant public opinion is that they double there money. Well when you consider that they had the ZRX I bought in stock for more than two years, I really don't see him making something on it as being dishonest. He is providing a well patronised service and has been doing so for more than 30 years! I guess he must be dishonest to stay in business for all that time! The way you speak of dealers as "Typically Grubby" suggests you may have the problem, not me! I may not be happy with every bike shops service, but at least I don't run around slandering reputable business over something which was fraudulently dropped on them!

Congrats on buying another bike, finally. Enjoy it.

does anyone know where i can get an 05 ZX10 AFAM sproket from? I want to fit it to my Giant OCR C3 after the attack of the where rabbit the other night on the way home, I am hoping it will give me enough power to avoid any future attack rabbit attacks.....

Also, is this the right thread to ask such a question? I am new here

What I need to know Marty, is did you get the ZRX with optional tank foam? I mean, it's almost a necessity for someone like yourself doing so many kilometers! And did you also get the limited offer they had on yak fat?

good stuff marty

As recent information posted on the internet casued me to have concern about the possible safety of purchasing 2nd hand tank foam and now knowing it could be possible for unscroupulous human beings to misrepresent tank foam, I have decided to buy new! There is a guy doing me a deal on the West Gate bridge and he reckons his cousin sells tank foam too! So I am sorted for the Island mate!!!
