How could you foamy I would acvise you to delete this bit though "bike has been down once when turning in a wet/slippy carpark and again on an icy road, bike was not damaged apart from a few scratches on the right-hand handguard" People would expect a scratch on the handguard as you rode it through the trees in the woods. The been down bit just doesnt need saying if thats all thats wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 i know OG, i will surely be kicking myself if/when it sells. i will revise the listing and see how things go... i saw a white DT50 field bike in a breakers yard and it brought a lump to my throat, but the seller wanted £150 for it which was just too much...

You sure youre selling the right one here? isnt there a Jawa cluttering up the shed somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 yes there is a jawa hiding in the shed but now ive managed to get the forks back (albeit still not rechromed) i will be moving that one up to cosford and sorting it out (hopefully). 28 views and 5 watchers in half an hour, not bad methink, already had someone offer me £200 for it but im letting the auction run. but if this sell goes well it may persuade me to get the Jawa back on ebay where it came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted March 6, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2010 Aye good luck with it Foamy, i'm sure it will sell If it doesnt though, keep it and sell the Jawa (you know it makes sense) after all the XJ can live under a cover while you sort it out. Just think...when you are an oldFoamy you can go to classic rallies on the DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 turned out to be a tyrekicker... foamy is displeased > ah well, its back on ebay now... anyone on the forum fancy giving it a good home? sorry to hear that steve,there are a lot of arseholes out there and most of them seem to be on e bay. last night i was looking at a moto guzzi california on e bay near to finishing and it was the right money for me when out of the blue 12 bids one after the other without anybody else bidding in knocking the price up £1400 the auction finished,just out of curosity i looked at the bids they were all from the same guy who had zero feedback, what an arse hole the seller thinks he has sold the bike, the only other bidder was me and a different guy who wanted the bike but pulled out of the bidding like me was it the seller trying to bump the price up? or just some arse hole whos bored. have bought a few bikes of e bay next time steve ask for a deposit by paypal end of auction and if any body pisses you about make sure you give them very bad feed back. better luck this time.
