Mostly though, I think it's either that they've got an overly rosy view of how wonderful their bike is, or just what someone believes they can get away with!
You can tell it's spring - one organ donor near Ely in Cambs a couple of days ago and the air ambulance in the same area yesterday. Police on Twitter are reminding bike returners like me that we're not invincible, and warning car drivers to look thrice and not twice as motorcycles are now emerging from garages. It's all so avoidable and sad.
Chatting with a seller on Fleabay with a low mileage 2007 model at under £3k but I'd have to buy sight unseen. Got a video call with him later which is good. It's got a blemish-free MoT history. Transport quotes of between £130-200 from professional motorcycle carriers to pick up and deliver to me. Plus theres one on Autotrader in Norwich which is about an hour away. Again looks good (I like stock models) so I'll call the seller later. Transport from there will be much cheaper. Plus I might be able to take an RX8 for a blast up the A11....
