Take a look at this

How rare is that?

Well, I guess there is only one of these left in the whole of his back yard.

I saw that the other day and laughed! You dont actually see many ST4's around but they are not exactly rare.

[Jools]

Just thought...Maybe he's got a mate down the pub who knows a bit about Dukes but is a bit hard of hearing. You can imagine the conversation.

:"I'm going to sell the ST4"

:"Y'what? Pardon...speak up lad"

"I SAID, I'M SELLING THE ST4 WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH?"

:"Bloody 'ell, an SP4? Very rare they are lad, worth a bloody fortune I shouldn't wonder"

: "Bloody brilliant...I'll stick it on eBay then"

Only on ebay..........

[Rocker]

Just for a laugh I sent the seller the following question. I'm not holding my breath awaiting a reply

Am I missing something here? You descibe this bike as very rare but it appears to be a standard ST4 which is available fnew from any ducati dealer and there are often more than one of these adverised second hand in MCN. has this bike got something (other than damage) that these other do not?

[MaccLad]

Crikey lads, he's trying to sell the thing, thats all.........so what if he states its very rare? Can't remember seeing too many ST4 around my neck of the woods.

[Jools]

Yep Macclad, of course he's only trying to sell it. No harm in that at all. It's also true that there are fewer ST's of any description than there are Ducati sportsbikes but....VERY RARE? C'mon, there are loads of 'em about.

Anyone who's owned an ST for more than five minutes should know that they're by no means rare, let alone very rare, so he's either deluding himself (which is sad - but still worth a **** take) or trying to delude others, which is out of order - even if you would have to be incredibly naive to fall for it.

Oh no! Not the dreaded DSC Ebay Police again! Pi$$takes are fine, but witchhunting??

[Rushjob]

Please be careful when invoking the name of an individual and the word witch
Below is an accurate transcript of what happened last time someone said this..............

CROWD: A witch! A witch! A witch! We've got a witch! A witch!
VILLAGER #1: We have found a witch, might we burn her?
CROWD: Burn her! Burn!
BEDEVERE: How do you know she is a witch?
VILLAGER #2: She looks like one.
BEDEVERE: Bring her forward.
WITCH: I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.
BEDEVERE: But you are dressed as one.
WITCH: They dressed me up like this.
CROWD: No, we didn't -- no.
WITCH: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one.
BEDEVERE: Well?
VILLAGER #1: Well, we did do the nose.
BEDEVERE: The nose?
VILLAGER #1: And the hat -- but she is a witch!
CROWD: Burn her! Witch! Witch! Burn her!
BEDEVERE: Did you dress her up like this?
CROWD: No, no... no ... yes. Yes, a bit, a bit.
VILLAGER #1: She has got a wart.
BEDEVERE: What makes you think she is a witch?
VILLAGER #3: Well, she turned me into a newt.
BEDEVERE: A newt?
VILLAGER #3: I got better.
VILLAGER #2: Burn her anyway!
CROWD: Burn! Burn her!
BEDEVERE: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether
she is a witch.
CROWD: Are there? What are they? Do they hurt?
BEDEVERE: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
CROWD: Burn, burn them up!
BEDEVERE: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEVERE: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEVERE: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...
BEDEVERE: So, how do we tell whether she, is made, of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEVERE: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEVERE: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
CROWD: The pond!
BEDEVERE: What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1: Bread!
VILLAGER #2: Apples!
VILLAGER #3: Very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1: Cider!
VILLAGER #2: Great gravy!
VILLAGER #1: Cherries!
VILLAGER #2: Mud!
VILLAGER #3: Churches -- churches!
VILLAGER #2: Lead -- lead!
ARTHUR: A duck.
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEVERE: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of
wood.
BEDEVERE: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
CROWD: A witch! A duck! A duck!
BEDEVERE: We shall use my largest scales!
[yelling]
BEDEVERE: Right, remove the supports!
[whop]
[creak]
CROWD: A witch! A witch!
WITCH: It's a fair cop.
CROWD: Burn her! Burn!
[yelling]

So beware or you may have this unhappy demise of someone on your conscience.
