Does this sound familiar to you at all, mate ...
I'm sorry that the rest of the world doesn't live up to your high moral standards but perhaps if you took responsibility for your own mistakes instead of blaming others you might find it a slightly more agreeable place.
Quote:"the chap had only had it a month and he didn't seem to know anything about it at all"So the guy clearly wasn't in any position to make promises about the condition of the bike but you happily accepted his word that it was well looked after, to the point that you evidently didn't bother going through the rudimentary pre-purchase checks like lifting the seat to check condition of the battery, fuses, CDU, wiring, frame etc.
Quote:".......I only had to shell out £1750 for the bike (£1795 asking price). I know he wanted a quick sale, but I must admit, it does make me worry a little that there's something not right."You parted with your cash even though you felt something wasn't right, and not having bothered to check the bike over properly. You've absolutely got no cause for complaint or for calling the guy names.
