Hi people, I'm looking for some help/advice.

My son has his bike advertised on ebay, as a classified ad, and someone did a deal over the phone and arranged to buy it without seeing it. Not something I would do, but we've sold his last 2 bikes this way.

The fella was going to transfer a £200 deposit into my son's bank account and then pay cash on collection. Whole price not far off £3k.

My son spoke to him again to arrange the details and he said he was going to transfer the full amount and pick the bike up on Saturday.
He has since spoken to/texted my son and said it was going to cost too much to hire a van for the weekend so was going to arrange for a courier to collect it (he lives 250 miles away).

My son has checked his account and the full amount has been transferred. Obviously we are going to check with the bank that the funds are there and available and not able to be recalled by the buyer. In fact we'll even get the money out of that account into another before Saturday and won't let the bike go until funds are available.

Does this sound ok to people?? I've never done a deal this way before.

Thanks,
Shaun

Hello people,
 
Has anyone had an experience like the following?
 
Last night my son was stopped by the police on his 125. The reason given for stopping him was because he didn't have any 'L' plates on. Son explains to the copper that he has passed his test. Copper says he believes him but gives him a producer anyway (fair enough I thought)
 
He then looks around the bike. My son is told that his back tyre is illegal and is given a ticket that requires him to get the defect repaired (i.e. a new tyre) and get the ticket stamped by an MOT station, before sending off to the relevant authority. No gauge is used to decide it is below the legal limit, just a look under torch light.
 
Now I know his tyre wasn't illegal, because I only checked them for him at the weekend, but I went out tonight and check them again anyway. At the the lowest point of the tread, which is around the centre of the tyre, my gauge was reading 1.8-2.0 mm.
 
I know most people start to think about changing at this sort of tread depth, but the point is it wasn't down to the 1mm legal limit.
 
I'm assuming I could take it to a MOT station and get it checked and the ticket stamped, but how much hassle is that going to cause if he gets stopped and checked by the same officer again, who clearly will think he hasn't had an illegal tyre replaced, even though it wasn't illegal?
 
Must point out, my son said the officer was pleasant and chatting with him, and was a biker himself.
