Post by: Iain Cameron on May 10, 2017, 08:38:25 pm: I'm getting sick of the "its worth a fortune " Rare in this condition or VMX endure, bobber , adds . the amount of shit these people go on with is amazing . Half the time they are guessing a price from looking at a fully restored bike that sold for big bucks on Evilbay or Bumtree . Little do they think to get that 5k plus for the bike the builder spent 4.5k . Then you have rip off merchants like Extreem motorcycles in WA selling bikes at way over the top prices for rattle can resto's . Had my bitch feel lots better now . Iain
