Hi Graham, thanks you for your kind offer :D , Halifax is just down the road and I know it well, my mum used to live in Outlane ( HuddersFax) and friends of ours live in Holmfirth so we drive through on the way there. The Helix ( yet to be named ) will arrive Ooop North Friday morning so i'll have a chance to have a good look around her over the weekend.
Cheers
Andrew

Yeah I saw that one Jim, very nice but 3 times the cost of mine so ill keep on at mine for a bit, get it running properly and if I fall for it maybe upgrade to a newer / nicer condition one in the future.

You remember this one? He relisted it as an auction and it stuck at 6-700 for a couple of days so he ended it with nearly a week to go! :lol:
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place!

For a moment I thought you’d bought it? Now why would a seller stop a sale TWICE? ending an auction having days to run? Could it be that the bike was stolen and the seller was a chump?

A strange thing but the first ad for this bike stayed up for days having a note that it was cancelled by the seller because of an error.

And now re-listed the ad for auction this time says the same thing!?

So now check this one out, it’s in London! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274490229736

This one’s got a damaged dashboard and something wrong with the screen which looks misty.....also has two buttons missing from dash.

Q. Why would a seller advertise a dirty bike for high price?
