On my phone on a bay at Morrison's in a big DAF. Will add more kater when home.
A services page where members can get discounted services for being a member on here. Like i will be offering an ultra sonic carb cleaning service and a blasting cabinet service used with soda for finer needs and glass bead for paint on metal and the likes. It wont be expensive as i know this service can be.
Ps...i dont mind a barter.
Gee.

I have another Steve.....a trade/swap section....like swap shop used to be in the 70's...put in what you want and or what you have to trade and others can involve themselves in what someone has if the person that posted it doesn't need it...get my drift? I know there is a sale section, but have a bike only section separate from parts and have the link for it at the top. Plus and final for now...more Dream pics on the banners.....much nicer bike...  |

criticising bikes that are up for sale unless asked by a prospective buyer ,nobody wants to become a member of this site to see there new pride and joy ripped to pieces,if you need to i will put pics of mine and you can knock yourself out Such a negative comment Mark. I have always found criticism, if constructive, to be most times, very helpful. I know of no one from this site that would be malicious in their comments regarding someone's pride and joy, whether it be a new purchase or a long time one. We are lucky, very lucky to have a mixed forum of pristine bikes and every day useable ones. But alas criticism is how each individual takes it, that cannot be controlled. Onwards and upwards. Gee. |

i am all for constructive criticism and warnings about ads and there as been some blatant fraudulent add this last few months but over the years there as been bikes advertised i do not know by who they may be members of this forum they may not ,if the ad is not trying to make out what it is not why should we criticise it because its got a deluxe rear end or a aftermarket mudguard because we can i do not call that constructive criticism.if someone on here wants are opinion about a ad that's fine but criticism for the sake of it you think that's fine

I am in lots of forums and all of them mention what is wrong or right with a bike, it helps me and no doubt others that are not as clued up about a particular model. I see nothing wrong with it, but alas, some do take the criticism too far. All that can be done in the future is too monitor it and monitor ourselves in what we say or how we say it. Cheers. Gee. |

Its fine to point out issues and differences, its not OK to criticise somebody's choices - just because I might want a near standard bike, does not mean others do, some people want perfect, some want custom, some want standarish, problem comes when somebody criticizes just because it does not meet their personal opinion. There is room for all types of bike.  |
