For a nominal Fee I will pick it up for you and ride it down.
I like your style unfazed, seems to me to be a good workaround as that 1K looks nice, only 17,000 on the clock, ONO price is right for £2,000 cash.
what holding him up? If it was me I would phone the man and talk to him about the bike, try to get the feel of the man and the bike (When I say feel of the man you know what I mean sailor) tell him its a long way from home and that there is £2,000 available and what are the chances of making a purchase if it seems the right bike?
He pays you to pillion him up there and ride back together. Jobs-a-goodun.
