Collecting my bike on Saturday

ROAD TRIP!

I’m collecting my moped on Saturday, I hope it fits in the back of the Renault Scenic – I’m sure it will. Off to Somerset on saturday will be a 5 hour round trip. My plan is to leave early doors to get there around 10am. This will mean I’ll be back home by 1pm-2pm.

Very exciting for me – I’m looking forward to this.

Paid for my bike.

After the previous post I had a reply from the seller of my moped that they were happy to accept Paypal. So today I initiated the payment and dropped him an email asking whether i can collect on Saturday.

I plan to take the scenic down the M5 and back to get it this weekend. Hopefully he is able to. If he can’t do this weekend then I may have to take up FvdE on the offer of collecting it for me.

The seller has taken it out for a quick spin and confirmed it is all working ok.

Is it wrong of me to be getting excited?

Went to pay for my moped via paypal…

and thought I would check the cost to the seller.

£7 for a £202 item!

So I’ve dropped him an email to see whether he wants me to pay via bank transfer or cheque. There is a chance I could collect it this weekend and pay cash. I’ve got nothing on this weekend and I *think* the moped will fit in the back of my Renault Scenic.

It could be a long Saturday going to collect it this weekend.

Piaggio Vespa Scooter on Ebay – Sensible

This looks a bit too grown-up/sensible to me. Look at the leg protection this would give from the elements!

 

Piaggio Vespa Photo

Front On of a 'modern' Vespa

– Taxed & MOT until November 2011

– New rear tyre

– Weak battery which requires the use of the kick start now and again but generally ok.

– Some scratches and dents as you’d expect from a bike of this age.

– Right hand side mirror is slack

– No key for back box. It shuts fine but doesn’t lock.

Selling due to acquiring a new bike.Good little run around. Collection from East Sheen only. No time wasters please.

Many thanks

Puch Maxi S 50CC Moped – On Ebay

Another classic from ebay. I must admit that this isn’t really my type. The purple is the wrong colour and although it includes a top box and has a bigger seat, it just isn’t for me.

Honda Camino PA50 Moped

More ebay searching and I like the look of this one. It doesn’t have a basket (booooo!) but it does have a lockbox on the back which could be useful.

This looks in really good nick

I’m loving the style of this one and it looks in really good nick, the ebay description also says it has had some work done to the engine so it could be a good investment.

Showing the bike from the front

I bought this last year TO GO IN my VW Camper .It  fits behind the front seats nicely.

It had been taken down to the last nut and bolt, all cleaned and rebuilt, everything repaired or replaced as needed. It was built for daily use and not concours but is in very good condition with a little pitting on the wheels and all other bright parts are in good condition.

Engine rebuilt with new piston,rings,seals etc and there is a CD with over 100 photos showingwhat was done by the previous owner.

Service and new MOT in the last few weeks. Also taxed to end June 2012 .Runs very well.

Collection from Taunton off J25 M5. As I said fitted in my T2 Camper and previous owner used to take the front wheel of and put it in his Fiesta with seats down!.

Viewing welcome and being sold due to move   Cash on collection preferred but PayPal accepted.

NO RESERVE.

SUZUKI FZ 50 TAX TILL MARCH 2012 MOT  TILL MARCH 27TH 2012

I purchased this bike to transfer the registration number to my car. I have done this and now it is ready to sell on with its new number plate issued by the DVLA

(All paper work has been completed and new V5 has been issued )

It looks a little rough around the edges but it starts 1st or 2nd kick every time and everything works as it should.

a weekends work a pot of paint and some sandpaper and this would look like new again!

It comes with full V5 mot and tax

I will be listing it at 99p to be sold to the highest bidder

I do not have a buy it now

( questions for a buy it now will not be answered)

Bag a bargain!!
