What a MEGA t**t....!! Think this dick needs to be prohibited from riding anything bigger than a 50cc twist and go.... He couldn't have dug a bigger with the judge so next time she will send him to as he is a bit

going to head out matlock that way Hope you have a good ride......weather looks great Just thought if your riding in the vicinity of Tamworth and want to stop off for coffee your most welcome (sorry can't do bacon butties on our budget :-( ) Still working on getting Soph's Exup on the road......I'm afraid I've hogged the garage a bit this summer.....first with 125's and then with the Bandit. All energy on the Exup now so hope to both be on the road very soon for a ride out :-)

Where you thinking of heading for Dave....?

Happy Belated Birthday wishes from both of us

part y0003 HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TOM

I stopped the DD with the Bank and will take it to the FSA if I have to. Good for you. I wish you bon chance In fairness to Nashy they were brilliant in repatriating my ZZR when it shat the bed in the south of France in 2010 And since then they have gone down hill BIGSTYLE....I will have to await the letter of cancellation and payment detail before I can write to the FSA and complain about my treatment from Carole Nash. I have insured my Bandit 600cc with Hastings Direct through a comparison from Bike Trader at a price of £186.20 which includes Named Rider, Pillion cover, legal expenses and personal accident. Carole Nash's loss.....and I made a big point of telling the lady on the phone that they have lost my custom.

I stopped the DD with the Bank and will take it to the FSA if I have to.

I've had insurance from Carole Nash on my Yamaha SR125 since 30th April for the price of £121:84 so far I have paid :- 1st May £30:46 30th May £30:46 2nd July £30:46 I phoned today to cancel as I no longer own the bike and was told that they will be taking out ANOTHER £30:46 at the end of the month to which I said you can get My calculation makes £122:14 for 3months insurance!!!! I will NEVER be using the Nash scam in the future.

Engine one is back together.....just got a little adjustment to make and engine two will be picked up on Tuesday :-)

We threatened to burn her house down lol.........seriously.....she still had the original (matched with frame number) tucked away in her garage (her brother was going to make it into a go-cart.......but judging by the job he's done on the bike....he's as much use as a chocolate tea pot! He has decided to let his sister give it to us as we could make more use of it......also the fact it is the ORIGINAL engine.

Ooooh Cab your so masterful x give us a ring and I'll let you know how things got settled :-)

if your good with the spanner its a lot of fun also if not then time to start Thank you for all the replies......I'm in the garage now with the engine in pieces lol The whole situation is resolved now with an added bonus......2 engines ;-)

The log book unfortunately is with the previous owner to send off to the DVLA. I'm going to phone her this evening to see if she still has it and if she can give me the numbers from it, if it's gone in the post yesterday....I'm a bit stuffed

Hi Stan, Frame and engine numbers are both different, hence the cuts in the engine casing.

Hi Mark, after reading all the comments including yours.......I think I've come to the decision that It's going to be a waste of time and more stress than I can be bothered with to try and get a refund. I'll put it down to experience and do the proper checks in future. Get the bike done up and go for a ride while there is still some

Thanks Chad, There seem to be a lot of liars and scammers on Ebay......sign of the times I think. I'll have to look into possible small claims if she doesn't cough up a bit of refund money, but I know from experience how utterly TOOTHLESS some of these organisations are.

Thanks for the quick response. NO....There was absolutely no mention of the Cat C on the listing so I am also now wondering if the previous lady owner knew. Thanks for the quick response. You have made me feel a little better about the situation Yes they are definite angle grinder cuts (probably where they have cut the engine out of another write off) I could buy another engine casing and no-one would be the wiser......just that we think the engine is a possible 1996 and the frame is a 1999.....so we are a bit unsure as to the engine wear, It says 23,000 on the clock but it might have done 70,000 for all we know, other than that it is a pretty sound bike with no other damage

Hi All, Haven't been on for a while as we have been pretty busy (mainly getting 2 Yamaha SR125's ready to sell) working up to me buying my first big bike.....preferred choice = Bandit 600 as everybody says that you can't really go wrong with a bandit engine they are bullet proof! So yesterday after selling 2 SR125's I took the plunge and bought a bandit on Ebay....by auction = £875 Went and picked it up from the other side of Birmingham in the van (Thanks Cab)......was absolutely chuffed to bits all afternoon, took the dogs for a walk in the evening and then decided to go back in our garage for a closer inspection of my purchase.......as we are looking around it, Sophie says to me....."why are there cuts in the engine casing?".....I looked and sure enough there were angle grinder cuts in the casing......oh .....did a text check on the reg and it came back a Cat C.....By this time I am absolutely sick to the gut, I bought a pup!! Unfortunately in my hast to get a big bike:- 1) Didn't ask for the reg to do a check 2) Didn't check over the bike thoroughly before parting with best part of £900 3) Didn't pay through Paypal so they wont help 4) Didn't check the paperwork thoroughly enough. Because of that....Trading standards probably wont help.....I'm gutted I am going to try and phone the lady owner today and appeal to her better nature in the hope she might give me some money back but to be honest she looked the type to say "It's your problem now.....deal with it" Any advice would be greatly received.....but I think I'm basically stuck with it. Thanks, Tamzin.

welcome to the world of proper biking

Yes I've got 2 Yamaha SR125's that I can hopefully sell to get a bandit Have a look in our classifieds section Gazman as a mint b6 for sale its mint Thanks Stu.....Bit on the pricey side for me at the moment, may ave to look for one a bit cheaper. The weather wasn't too bad in Burton where I took the test.....I could have killed the that carved me up on the roundabout....luckily managed to hold it together for the rest of the ride even though I was Sorry...dodn't think we can afford the lake trip but will be at a ride out hopefully before the end of the year. Thanks Dick Well done angel... We'll sort you out with a Bandit come hell, high water or the eurozone economic crisis Thank you babe.....might take a bit of work but we'll get there, and I've got tons and tons of Bandits in the E-Bay watch list

Thank you to everyone that has posted a message. I have to admit I've been a bit shell shocked the last couple of days just really happy now there are no more tests

Happy Birthday bet you can't wait to get out on the now that it's been fixed Hope you have a great day. Tammy & Soph xx
