  1. Just seen an old bike of mine for sale on eBay, the registration is right, the seller claims to have bought it about the right time and the bike has still got one or two unique oddities that make it very identifiable as mine. The quandary is the claimed milage is most definitely not correct, it is less than when I sold it. Mmm, what to do ? Andy

  2. Call him out on it, somebody's clocked it, surely

  3. Won't it show up on old MOTs ?

  4. Call it out in the loudest best way possible.
    You would want to know if YOU were buying...

  5. I did kinda the same....my old ktm660 got stolen a week after my mate bought it.....the wheels turned up on ebay about 3 months later.....i knew they were mine....same tyres and they were in the same position on the wheel - i sent the guy a pic and said they were knocked off....reported to ebay but nothing came of it....

  8. A good start would be to list the ad here, call it out with pics that prove it was yours...

  10. Are you thinking of buying it back? :thinkingface:

  11. Buyer beware as always, not sure how you'll get anything done about this issue. There should be GOV site to check it as any sensible buyer would/should. I highly doubt eBay will do anything?

  12. Buy it back.

    Everyone regrets selling their old bikes. You must do, as you're looking for similar.

  14. I need to ask a friend before I jump in with both feet. Checked the MoT mileage and on the surface, it could be kosher, my memory just threw out round figures. When you look at actual figures, doubt creeps in but if it is right, I have never seen a bike do such little mileage in the intervening time. Andy

  15. Buy it back as it is even better value now, with the lower mileage. :eyes:

  19. I have no regrets selling this particular bike, the time was right and life moves on. It just popped up as I was surfin’ eBay and caught my eye. Andy
