A very nice guy indeed  As you say yours was (and is) mint and very appreciated and looked after. Ebay version seems over-priced especially given its condition, but they are rarely available

Thought the same myself Paul......bit of damage here and there...and hence overpriced...can only assume the owner doesnt have a Bimota anymore or else he would post it on here or pass to another fellow for at least a reasonable price...My spirit of "Karma" wouldnt allow me to overprice for such a book to sell on to another......
I assume you have fully recovered by now from the weekend?...for yourself at least you'll now fully appreciate what an effort it is for the 3 days....at least we allow ourselves the joy of riding a few bims back home on the Sunday evening....
I was thinking of you in Costco the other day...and procured a better and sturdier chair with metal arms on it so that next year you'll be able to hoist yourself out of the chair more easily......  |

If I don't get myself sorted out soon, by next year I'll probably need something like this

There's been a few for sale over the past few months for around the same money, some more expensive. Don't know whether they are actually selling for those prices or not

Fleabay doesn't really care. Even if they send him an inquiry all the seller has to say is that he damaged it or lost it and that's the end of that. He may even get a praise from Fleabay for being "honest"

It's not the first time he's done that. From his feedback from over a year ago:
"advertised no reserve but would not sell waste of time..........." |

Like I said, fleabay doesn't give rat's ass. This is not even considered an infraction... Much worse events occur with buyers getting fleeced and Fleabay will hardly lift a finger to help the poor suckers out. Caveat emptor...
