All sounds cool to me now... had an email from the chap re. me collecting in person and paying cash, no problems he says (he also recommends Brechfa as it's his local spot 🙂 ) So, all looking legit to me... Anyone fancy a trip from London to Wales on Thursday or Friday?

btw, thanks for all the comments and advice, the STW really are helpful (in general 😆 )

Go to his house, don't buy it in a car park

>Go to his house, don't buy it in a car park

which as a theory cuts both ways. Why should the seller trust you the potential buyer- you could be a thieving scumbag who turns up, tyre kicks "ooh its not my cup of tea" and then, having scoped out his garage, return in a few days with a van and have away with his life-savings worth of bikes. Risks involved for either party with either scenario.

Had a chat with Orange this morning, they've confirmed it's one of theirs, so looks like I picked up a good deal 😀 Going to drive over to Wales on Thursday and pick it up, might even spend the night out there and have a good couple of days riding...
