« on: February 11, 2013, 08:27:08 pm »

LOL Andrew...

I don't know much about YZ's, but I know I have chased a few over the years!! (Anton everywhere, Steve, Ando @ Canowindra...)

I found 2 errors...
1. Excellent , and
2. Condition
Incorrectly spelled ?  :P

And one from you Davey, spelt is the word you were looking for. No such word as spelled. Go stand in the corner.

Incorrect Ted.


spell
1 [spel] verb, spelled or spelt, spellĀ·ing.

verb (used with object)
1. to name, write, or otherwise give the letters, in order, of (a word, syllable, etc.): Did I spell your name right?

2. (of letters) to form (a word, syllable, etc.): The letters spelled a rather rude word.

Swap ya... YOU go sit in the corner....   Boom !

Who the hell rebuilds a bike and never rides it, only runs it, or is it just me, I couldnt help myself thats why I would rebuild a bike to ride/race it no point other wise unless they were in it just for the $.

Great comments fellas! I think Craig nailed it?
I also thought $2400 was a bit too much comparing with recent sales.
