My lad had his KTM on ebay. Put it on a buy it now of all things!!
Some one with a bad grasp of written English asked a couple of stupid sounding questions and pressed buy it now.
A couple of messages later and he is in Poland but coming over on a Friday morning ferry. Son tells him Friday no good, has to be Sunday so next thing you know it's a Sunday ferry. Alarm bells that were already in my head suddenly got louder, much louder and of course the bike isn't on ebay anymore.
Eventually they turn up. One guy speaking English. They turn out to be a nice couple of fella's, agreed the bike was good as advertised and handed over the cash
you could have picked me up off the floor
Turns out bikes are cheaper here and his Polish speaking mate was buying a couple of bikes to take home. Hence they already had a 58 plate Fazer6 on the trailer!
The trailer was a brand new two bike and it was superb. Only cost £400 in Poland. It would be more than double that here, so how come bikes are cheaper here?
