South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

drove through to plymouth yesterday to look at a bike. did the usual stuff, checked it out, took for test ride. agreed sale with owner, with the one issue of not full cash on me at the time. Agreed with seller to leave 200 quid deposit to secure the bike and pay the rest on collection. sale agreed, money paid, receipt given. Now I find a txt on my phone to say bike sold! I am currently coming back down from 50,000 feet and somewhat annoyed. Being a rather placid type of bloke! didn't think for a minute to get in car and go over there! What the Feck!!!!? Handshake and written agreement not enough anymore!?

sorry to read about about the bike you nearly had,it has given me something to think about for when i get my bigger bike...

Hope you got your depo back..

If you have a receipt then you have something to legally use...

What a ARSE. Hope you get you deposit back with interest.

You want to send Maver-Nick round he is good at sorting people.

Gutted for you

What a T.W.A.T

gutted for ya mate, im from plymouth, tell me where he lives and i could re arrange something for ya

what a w.a.n.k.e.r!!!

Kick him in the eye!!!!

Send the lads round!

Gutted for ya mate. what was it you were getting??

Bike sold under a legally binding contract

Seller has broken contract and I believe you are within your rights to sue him. You could phone C.A.B. Monday to find out more.

In reality though I would just ask for your deposit back and £50 compensation for the hassle/travel costs etc.

IF it was a REALLY good deal, I'd force the issue - if you have a written receipt for your deposit, then he has entered into a legal and binding contract ......


If you're not that fussed, then as a good-will gesture he should at least re-imburse you for your time and fuel costs ... Before going down that route though, talk softly and make sure you get your deposit back .. then when it's in your hand start talking about "inconvenience" costs

T*ssers like that deserve to get strung up - probably a good job you're a reasonable distance away from him

Bike was an NC30. I know what I'm looking for in that respect, love nc30's!
as for sending maver-nick round, trust me, I'm not someone to piss off!
I'm trying to keep myself legal and above board!
Have now spent an evening in the vic bars,Newquay and calmed down. will speak to the twat(seller) in the morning. hope he values his knee caps

I know of a 90' Repsol NC30 mate, locally in St Erth, nr Hayle. Not sure if its for sale yet, but my mate just bought a CB600F and its sitting on his drive, I know the bike very well too.

PM me if your interested and I'll give him a call about it.

Cheers

How stupid do I feel now! the txt I received was sent in error. He was letting other enquirers know bike had been sold. so panic over!
Really must stop being a stroppy northerner with flash point of zero! filled with the power of alcohol.
Will look back on this and laugh no doubt

Lucky you didnt have to kill him then.

Cool so you got yourself an nc30

Still punch him just for scaring you like that!

lucky he lives to tell the tale - all worked out in the end then...
