It looks like I am not going to be selling my 125 anymore. Strange story really. I received the funds and everything for it and all that was remaining was for me to take it to the new owners home. I got there and police were everywhere. He was being arrested for something else. I left as quickly as I could without crashing and have instructed my bank to deal with the payments which by the way did NOT come from his bank account so I suspect he was being arrested for fraud dealings.

So I am stuck with two bikes now. I am really nervous about it as the garage has a car in it so I can’t park them in there. Does anyone park two bikes outside their home? I have a bike ramp so I can put one in the garden/hallway at a time? But sometimes they are both gonna be outside. What is this like from a security perspective?

chuck the bloody car out of the garage or good luck!!!

The car is luxury car!

Luxury car belongs to owner of house!

Owner of house is grandpops who despises both bikes and gives them a wide berth!

Owner of house might accidentally on purpose knock bike over to prove a point!

Ya dig

Yep, I’d kick the car out and put the bikes in there, as they are the most likely to get pinched or damaged out on the road.

5

Hmm I’d move out LOL

you cant choose your family but you can choose where you live…his house his car his rules…accept it - sell one and be nice to your oldman - if you want to keep your bikes without being stolen or run over by your wrinkly…its your choice…

7

sell it to a garage and get the money to do new and faster wonderfull things to you’re bike

I agree, a biker living in London has to think carefully about where they live. For me, the main feature of a new property is the bike parking facilities. Also, does this mean you get the money and the bike!? Nice bonus if so.

Not entirely. I discovered the buyer had fraudulently used someones credit card. I know what b*tches credit card companies can be

So I have contacted my bank to tell them what happened so they can contact the bank the funds came from. So the full amount is currently frozen

It is very safe where I live and police patrol frequently but just not comfy with two shiny bikes hanging around

The messed up thing is my grandad lives abroad and doesnt even drive

Why are you selling your 125 ?

Have you done your DAS yet ?

11

Move your bedroom down stairs, use the ramp I showed you and park both bikes in your bedroom and every morning you will wake up smiling

12

tbh if you’re hanging onto both i’d keep the sv in the safer place with the 125 on the street. but you’ll probably find that once you can ride the sv you won’t tend to use the 125 much…

13

Nope. Not as yet Trojan. I have it booked for 11th September. That is how long I will have to wait in London

DA!!! Knowing what my family is like moving my bedroom downstairs would not be an option. I could move it up and up and up but not down

Rizla the SV is a beauty She deserves to be on the catwalk

14

Cover em up wiv dirty old bike covers. Wot the eye don’t see…etc. etc.

15

I don’t want to rain on your parade but are you sure it’s such a good idea to sell the 125 before you do your DAS, (hopefully not) what happens if you fail the test - very easy to do with the u-turn and idiot cage drivers about ?

16

Ah yes the dreaded u turn!!!

TBH I am not sure I can grow to love the cbr125 like some others do

You don’t know what it’s like riding that bike man

17

What are you going to ride and get the much needed practice (which we all needed) on before your DAS ?

What if you don’t like the SV as you didn’t ike the CBR ?

18

If you need somewhere to store one of the bikes for a few days, I’d be able to store one at my work for you…It’s a locked workshop within another locked building so it’s plenty secure!!
