People who add a "Make and offer" button on their ebay listing and then wont take any offer until its 20p off the asking price. If you don't want offers then don't ask for them  :wall   
You need to elaborate, I'm curious now :lol

 Funnily enough I thought about this thread a couple of days ago, when I read about the ex mayor of Southend on sea getting into trouble for saying the travellers who want to settle there, should be sent back to Ireland with their 'thieving, filthy ways' and they were treated like pariahs because they are pariahs. I think he should get off the fence and say what he really thinks :lol

Just a thought but if the gt85 softens the adhesive on the tape it may end up curling up at the edges as you move the throttle and causing problems.

Red=Warning - High Speed Object in motion
Silver=Bullet
Black=Tina Turner - Simply the Best

All 3 colours combined into the S model.........Unstoppable....S standing for Speedyasfoc :smokin
I have to admit (reluctantly) that is the best colour scheme and the one I was looking for but fell for a mint blue foxeye.

According to Fowlers, yours is Black2, no mention of metallic you'll notice. Whereas mine is Purplish Blue Metallic.  Who's is metallic now? Yamaha don't mention metallic and they should know. :nana
Interesting that it is not listed in any way as being metallic but in real life it is metallic, I will try and get a picture, the metallic-ness is very fine

I totally believe you I've noticed it myself, it shows up best in strong sunshine, I'm only pulling your leg, all I was saying was that just because it's metallic doesn't mean it's not black, mine's metallic but it's still blue.

Actually black is not black - its the only fzs600 colour that is metallic ( That's shiny flecks of silver in the paint for all you base colour riders )

So metallic black isn't black? :rollin
NO - its metallic black
But it's still black whether it's metallic or not. Do the DVLA know that the V5's wrong then?

Black is the Abyss...a turgid meander in deep space
Blue is the colour of lightning...it's that fast
Red best reserved for road signs like give way and stop
Yellow - speedblocks or not..semi congealed custard
Silver..old age, fading of powers trying to remember if the penis has another use other than dribbling

Yours blue by any chance Big Mac? Only guessing :lol

  That's fair enough, I know what you mean. What sort of thing are you looking to replace it with?

 Hey mate, try not to get too down about it, don't do anything impulsive.leave it a while and see how you feel then.We've all been there, so we know how foccin' frustrating bikes can be. Just don't sell it until you're sure you want to, you may end up regretting it.

Wouldn't encourage leaning on the top box, hanging on to the rider is the safest way for taking children. 
Mine were on my bike once they could reach the foot rests, but always held on to me.

 agree with Unfazed on that.

 Have you looked at this kind of thing?

 The chances are that the fork oil won't have been changed so that could perhaps do with checking.

 Welcome to the forum Rikat (Rob) As you can probably see, you'll need a thick(ish) skin and a sense of humour to survive on here but if you can put up with us you'll get some good advice and a bit of stick in equal measure :thumbup Nice bike by the way. Are you planning to ride it much or keep it low mileage and mint?

Yeah, but at least they're not............... silver  :eek


OY FUCK OFF
  Not yours Tommy. yours is lovely. We meant all the other silver ones didn't we Mtread? Yours has got some blue bits on it so if you want we could make it an honorary blue one. Anyway at least it's not gold :lol . :oops

Whoever would've thought that a for sale thread that no one is actually interested in buying could generate such a response?

Vinnyb, you're getting as bad as Foxeye03  :lol :lol :lol Next thing you'll be selling your bike,  :'( but your right he should get out more  :rolleyes
Ouch that hurt, right that's done it now. I'm gonna spit my dummy out, throw my toys out of the pram, have a hissy fit and quit the forum, you're all horrible and nasty and I can't take it any more  :'( As it happens the bike is up for sale £4500 to avoid chancers who might actually want to ride it :lol He perhaps will get out more now he's not wasting hours posting on here all the time. :rollin

Ah Vinnyb, that's taking sarcasm to far  :'(
That wasn't sarcasm Unfazed, I was being genuine :rolleyes I wonder if Foxy lady wants his posts deleting in case the new owner comes on here and finds out what an arse he is. If he hasn't already worked it out :lol

The comment about the clock was made in jest, hence the smiley. 9 posts in 3 years, and you just use the forum to try to sell your bike! Don't need any lessons from you thank you.


BTW I've got a red one just as nice as yours, and it's done 45k. Try and get out more  :lol
Nice try Mtread but yours can't possibly be as nice as Foxeye's because as you said, it's red. His is blue, like mine. :rollin

 Oooh, get her. Sorry Foxeye but 'knowing a bike inside out' isn't only about owning it for 10 years, it involves getting out and riding it as well, which is something you clearly haven't done. Good luck with the new bike, hopefully the next forum you join will be humourless and less upsetting for you :thumbup

 I presume this was directed at me?  Blimey mate, after only 8 posts in, you are in the wrong forum  :rolleyes
  At least he's flogging it, not just picked it up, so he won't be on here too long.  :lol Nice bike though.


Yet another puerile comment by a smart arse. FFS Vinny this is a motorbike forum for bikers so please try to maintain standards. Your cnut comments are about as welcome as a reggae band at a Ku Klux Klan convention. TW@ !!
Sorry Frosties, I feel so ashamed :'(   I'll try to maintain the respectful standards expected of FOC forum members in future.
