PM me or call on 0407 654 564.

Please note there is no warranty with any of these bikes however if I have stated I have rebuilt the motor then it is rebuilt and you can expect it to be rebuilt. If I have not stated it's rebuilt but it is running then you can expect it to be used and useable but not new.

PLEASE NOTE: Rob from Full Load Transport (or Davison Clan Transport) is a top bloke and will move any of these bikes very economically.

Cheers
Simo

Wow, why??

[Simo63]

Wow, why??

In a nutshell we have to sell our house to pay business debts and won't be able to move 40 plus bikes plus cars into a rental property.  Plus I need the cash to help pay the debts.

That's shit - sorry to hear it.
You know what the 89 KX is worth to me. Give me a yell if you want to get it out of your hair.

Sorry to hear you're going through rocky times mate, good luck with the sales and hope you and the fam get through it all ok. Money causes many problems but a loving family and good health can get ya through anything

You're right Brendan.  I've chased the almighty $$ too long now and it's time to invest in myself and my family a lot more.  Letting go and admitting failure is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with .. man that sounds soppy ... but it's so bloody true.

Bloody hell Craig, makes me sick in the guts to read your first reply to Brendan.
I had a couple of drinks with your lovely wife and at CD, she told me just how hard you work at those two outlets.

No shame there mate, you busted your ass for all the right reasons, you had a fair dinkum go for sure.
I hope you can cut em loose quickly and move on.
Good luck.

PS; would you ask your friends if they could get that GT250 to the Cookardinia vinduro for me this weekend please?
I would really like to stay there and relax instead of heading down to pick it up.
Please ask them?
The pics arent that important any more Simo

Thanks Mick. I appreciate your thoughts and whilst it's bad for us if we can cut our losses now and get out we won't lose absolutely everything including our sanity and our relationship.  Not destitute just yet but we can't continue going down the way we are any longer.  Thankfully my wife is just incredible so hopefully we'll get through it.

I called them and the GT is a disc brake model. They will take some pics in the morning but can't drop it off for you unfortunately. It's okay if you don't want it mate, it's only an old bike so no sweat

[Simo63]

Sorry to hear about your misfortune . Hope it all goes well . Unfortunately there will be many more clearance sales in the not so far future . The signs are popping up more and more .

Thanks Walter, held out longer than the other 5 franchisees that closed here on the Coast .. and the other 150 or so Australia wide that have gone to the wall .. and that's just in our pizza chain. Many more in our competitors have met the same fate.

On the upside I figured out how to make a small fortune .. start with a bigger one, buy a 7 day a week franchise in a unbelievably competitive business, work yourself 7 days a week not only in the businesses at the same time you have a full time day job elsewhere, until you no longer recognise who you are, who your wife or children are and then close the doors with large debts secured against the house you originally owned outright .... simple formula.

I joke about it (because I haven't any other option) but in all seriousness, if we can walk away from this with some of our previous assets, our relationship and family intact .. I've only very recently learnt that that's is a real win.

[Richo52]

Sorry to hear of your predicament Simo ,like you said Wife and family more important ;-) Good luck with all the sales........Pm me if CR 250 sale doesn't eventuate cheers Richo.

that's tough..buts its happening all over...still a great weight will be lifted and another door will open.

[Lozza]

Sorry to hear that story. I should be able to spread the word about the RGV any pics?

[Simo63]

that's tough..buts its happening all over...still a great weight will be lifted and another door will open.

Absolutely spot on mate.  I appreciate everyone's thoughts .... I truly do ... and for those I say a big thank you.

This is a positive step for us and will help us move forward sooner rather than later.  The stress we've been under, whilst I have done my utmost to not show it, has been incredible and the thoughts that have gone through my head lately have been so negative it was very very unhealthy.

Like I said .. a positive move forward for us

[Simo63]

Sorry to hear that story. I should be able to spread the word about the RGV any pics?

Mate I haven't got any as I was never planning to sell it but I will get some over the weekend and post them (geez I hate using photobucket )

Thanks for spreading the word

[Simo63]
