Well I thought let's go have a look anyway, and yes, 150 mile round trip for no reason. Its a Strada, you're right. The little tit told me it was a mint SP5 on the phone. The bike is in LUTON. He wouldn't let me see it at his house, met him at a petrol station. As soon as I saw it I could see it wasn't an SP. The conversation went thus:
It's not an SP5, is it?
Err...........long pause.......no, I don't think so, but I only found that out a couple of days ago. It was sold to me as an SP though.
Bye.
He said he had bought it in Leeds, but the logbook said Scotland. Had it two years and didn't know it wasn't an SP??? Righto. So it was all very dodgy. And it was tatty to boot, plenty of corrosion etc. The seat unit didn't even fit properly. It had a copy of the SP5 badge on the top yoke, it was printed on a piece of metal and not stamped, so someone had tried a bit to make it look like an SP.
So.....all together now...if it looks too good to be true, it probably is!!!! What fun. |
that's funny as fook.
not because you had to drive all that way but why o why do people do this kind of stuff.
well I suppose there is one born every minute.
