Found this on fleabay, a thoroughly abused, crashed, and most likely thrashed FJ11. I cannot spot a single useable part that would not require heaps of fixing, clutch cover is loose, god knows whats missing, oil filler cap replaced by plastic bag, even the console is smashed, coil pickup cover smashed, crash bars bent back, and there's electrical tape holding the gas cap on! Who here would be brave enough to buy this?

It's all yours Gareth
The licence plate in the background says it all. OMG.
Well, maybe the gas cap would be salvageable. They are precious. :shok:
Some lovely rear pegs and a grab rail
Yeah, you're right. Seems I stand corrected, we have two items, and I spotted the brake light lens seems good. I have asked the seller for more info on the bike, I offered to him that, as it seems there are no useable parts on the wreck, could he instead list the parts that are not shagged. I am keen to see if I get a response, I also offered him $23 and two Whoppers from Hungry Jacks.... I'll see if he bites..
Rear caliper bleed valve looked ok.
Offer him a dollar for it and see if he'll through in the rest.
I got a response.. what does troll mean?

Hi Mr Blackstock
From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll)
"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll's amusement."
Looks like its got new "Air" in the tyres.You probably should have thrown in another Whopper! :sarcastic:
I wonder if this stuff would help unsieze the foot pegs,grab rail & rear caliper bleed valve?? :crazy:

I think he got butt hurt by your offer. Sad thing is your offer was pretty generous!
:shout: :dash2:
Yeah mate. Beat my offer by 23 dollars and 1 whopper......correction 2 whoppers. Hope you win it;)
No bids, relisted for same money and "no offers".
Maybe he wants to keep it and make a cafe out of it. :yahoo:
