Well, I’ve just replied stating the bike was sold as seen and that I described it to the best of my knowledge and was unaware of any of the claimed faults, other than those I was aware of and pointed out in my ad. And ended it stating that I wouldn’t be engaging in any further correspondence with him.
I have the two ads – one from the builder of the bike and the one from the guy who sold it to me a few weeks ago. I described the bike honestly and described the faults I was aware of.
In the ad I stated it started and ran fine – it did for me and when he looked at it
I stated the gearbox worked fine – it did for me and he put it into gear when he looked at it.
I stated the speedo didn’t work – he looked at it and said he believed it was the cable not having enough slack.
I stated the ticking noise and that I thought it might be the cam chain – he heard that noise when he viewed the bike but seemed unconcerned.
I stated the lights and horn worked – they do
I stated it had an MOT and TAX – it does
I stated that the builder of the bike added new levers and rear sets and re-painted it and rebuilt the engine. I have the two ads which both state this.
I explained that I wasn’t an expert and had only ridden the bike for a few minutes in the few weeks I’d owned it.
I don’t know what else he could expect from me.
