Ducati Monster Forum

Got a call last night from someone extremely interested in buying my bike. I would say more than extremely interested as he said that he wants to buy it. I said to him that he has not even seen the bike and would he want to see it first. Nah, work is so busy I will have a hard time getting down to Picton. So, he asks me to fax a copy of my rego papers to the Coppers Credit Union so he can get his loan finalised. Yep, I'll do that in the morning & feeling a bit cautious, I black out my address.

Text messaged him today saying I faxed the papers, also I checked that the fax number he gave me was indeed for the credit union. He said he is working till Sunday but can give me a couple of thousand before picking up the bike next week and giving me the rest.  ???

I said Nah mate, next week is fine.

I would say he is pretty keen, haven't even haggled over price!  :-\

Hoping he doesn't know about this place yet.  ;D

He's not from Nigeria, by any chance?

Hope he is paying in cash.......  [roll]

And not the photocopied $100 bills......  8)

Hmmmmmmmm, sight unseen hey??

I repeat..... hmmmmmmm!!  ???  :-\

be careful Super, just make sure everything is right on his end.

He is a prince...and if you just give him your bike he will be able to use it to get his inheritance and pay you $100,000!

the cash sounds good....can't complain over cash!

Well, he won't be getting a bike without some $$$$.

I've had a few calls for it, but that's all it's been. Don from Duc Penrith has passed a few calls onto me which is great and also Bikesales. Some wanker asked me what the deal was with having a different exhaust to everyone else's. I told him it makes it sound better, is lighter, better looking and adds a bit of power to the bike. Yeah but, what's the deal with the exhaust? [bang] [bang] [bang]

Anyway, I'll see what happens. But seeing he is using the Police Credit Union might make hime a policeman so he must be honest!  :-X  [leo]  :-X

I need a drink.  [drink]

not necessary a policeman Super

I know, I'm just trying to be funny!  [bang]


 ;D

and a policeman isn't necessarily honest either!  [laugh]

I hope it goes well, I know it was very un-nerving selling my bike.
Even though a 10 yr old kid bought it! Well he looked 10 anyway.

Cash is cash, or a cheque is just as good as long as it has a bank seal on it and you sight the guys licence.

As for the guy and the exhaust! Tell him you'll sell it to him without it then!

Mate, give me his full name and I can check the police internet system to see if he is even a cop.  I'll just jump on the email site and it pulls up all police names.....  I'm at work tomorrow(Friday)  [leo]

Matty, what do you mean by this?

you take a bank cheque (purchased from ANZ) into a Westpac and put it into your account.....you still wait 3 business days....cause ANY cheque is as easy to forge as any other one.

Don't ever trust a bank cheque!

I've had a bank cheque given to me that the guy walked into one branch and got then went straight back in and said that he'd lost it. They cancelled it on the stop. He then gave it to us and we got stiffed when we tried to bank it.

Only go with cash! Or take the bank cheque and only provide the goods when it is cleared!

Don, Scotty, Neil and the rest of the boys @ Penrith Ducati are legends AFAIK. Best Ducati service/repair experience I've had, I'd give them business any day.

Not sure about the Bank cheque thing. TBH I thought a bank cheque was as good as cash and if you got stiffed it was the banks fault. I'd be checking that out first with the bank in question though.

But either way, the guy would need to be giving me a massive wad of cash to give up my monster. :(


Maybe you can come in rides with us and drive a support vehicle with cold drinks and portable BBQ or something Super.

Ohh... I'm gunna give you such a slap!!!! :-*

Ita

Be very very careful doing that stuff WL ???  Do you guys have the SELF test??

Ita

Cheeky pr*ck!  [laugh]

I do have a ute now.  ;)


It's getting harder by the day! I'm giving it a wash either today or tomorrow and taking it for a spin. Hopefully be able to get a couple of more rides in before it does get sold. I need the dollars so it's gotta go.  :-\


Probably too late, but PM sent.


He was a pommy too.  [roll]

Anyway, I'll see how it goes. I know I'll probably not buy new again but I wouldn't mind a 90's model 900 project bike.  8)

Ha, funny thing. I was working with that guy today. He's new at
my
station. He's legit.

Ita: no problem using the email system as it just tells me if the person has a police email, hence, is a cop. We get audited on the public system though

craigo, I'm ex-bank.....they have no responsibility!!!!

if some bloke forges a cheque from "Vatican Bank"...you reckon the pope's going fix it up for you?

no matter what the cheque....you go into your bank, deposit into your account and pay cash($10 to $15), have it 'quick cleared' and 24 hours later you hand over the bike after checking the funds are cleared.

Fair dinkum!

Small world.  [thumbsup]

Is he Monster worthy?

Other than selling cars (usually traded) I have sold/bought using bank cheques and taking a copy of someone's I.D.
But then they have also usually visited me a few times before buying, not bought site unseen.
I know bank cheques can get canceled or be forged, in my experience I have never had a problem.
Sold my 620 by accepting one from a very excited kid!
Super I think you'll be fine, you'll know it when the bloke arrives. And if you get a funny feeling then tell him you'd like the
cheque to clear then you'll hand over the property.

Yes the vast majority of people are honest law abidin' folk, but you and I don't want to end up dealing with those few exceptions to the rule, so for me it's always "show me the money"

super.....aren't you booked in to take my s2r when I move on?  :D

you'll be glad to know we're changing the oil next week to AMSoil....good stuff!

I've only known him for a couple of months, but he did mention that he had found this really informative Monster site on the net. I showed him this one and he said "That's the one i was on". So that has to mean something.... 

But yeah, he's certainly not a squid.  Good bloke(Younger than me, so i will no longer be the youngest  [coffee] )

Oh, i did send him on a good foot chase last saturday night, he went quite well on that one  ;D

Oh yeah, forgot about that. The blokes I hired to take your 1000 will be there next week to pick up the S2R.  ;)


Well that's good then. Looks like I might be bikeless next week.  :'(

good luck mate....it's at the farm....the thieves would have to get past the dogs, the drooling zombie like cattle and.....the BANTAM chooks.

no one survives a bantam chook attack if they believe you may have food!

 [laugh]

Try. But. try only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this farm is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave thieves, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

 [drink] [beer] [wine] [laugh]

Ita

BOOBS..........  :o

Show the creature a fair maden with a nice rack and the farm is yours....  [laugh]  [laugh]

ah, so you are familiar with bantum chooks them!  [thumbsup]

either you have food....or you are food.

...speaking of such....mum's friends have 2 wild boars as captive pets/sunday roast for the town....you seen them eat? phuck me....you wouldn't want to walk in there if they hadn't eaten in a few days...they would take your ankle out in a second I reckon!

not a nice way to go.

Haven't you seen Hannibal?

So you knew my Ex !! Poor man.  [roll]

nope....does someone get fed to a boar....it's not a stretch of the imagination!

Yeah, they starve 'em for a few days then give 'em a human to feed on.  [puke]

Well, it looks like this person was all bullshit.  >:(

Mayby you shoulda put the bike in a brown paper bag....   [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Ita

maybe i should have words went i get back to work

Wot you mean?

i can also find this guy details, and have a talk with him

Don't do anything yet, I only sent him a text message yesterday asking if he was still interested in the bike. I haven't heard back from him.  :-\

So, I've got it in my head that he was all bullshit.  >:(

we i dont go back to work until next tuesday if everything is ok, so ill wait until then

 [thumbsup]

Ita

F*ck, it killed me inside to see her go.  :'(






But, the young bloke who snapped her up had the biggest grin on his face and his eyes lit up when he first laid eyes on her that it almost made me smile. She will make someone else as happy as she made me.  [thumbsup]
