Blimmin dealers, describe 'imaculate' on advert and by phone
you travel 100 mile round trip to look at some shite corroded
messed about unserviced pile of shite
3 cross motorcycles - New Forest you should be ashamed of yourselves.
[/rant]

 

I think they have been named and shamed on here before.

 

tisk, spelling! 'immaculate'

 

isn't "3 cross are a shower of cunts" in the FFAQ?

Weren't they the dealership prosecuted(?) for selling ex-demo bikes as
new (or something similar)?

 

ah balls, if they are then apols, old news

 

It's SOP for 3X. They don't do 'ashamed'. Their sole purpose on this
planet seems to be to piss you about, lie, & generally be fuckwits.

Count your blessings though - you had a lucky escape. SO bought her
Raptor from them[1] & asked them to lower it a bit if possible before
she collected it. They duly backed the rear pre-load right off, & slid
the forks up about two inches. As a result the rear end wallowed about
like a bouncy castle, & it tank-slapped like a right bastard at the
slightest hint of a bump. Christ knows how she made it home in one
piece, especially as she hadn't ridden for a couple of years before
collecting it.

[1] Without telling me beforehand unfortunately.

3-Cross AKA 'Triple-Cross' because they are not content with just
double-crossing you..

Avoid avoid avoid..

I can empathise; I travelled 120 miles in the pissing rain in February to
look at a bike that the dealer described as mint on the phone. Turned out to
be a pile of crap!

Ah ha ha argh.

On Easter Sunday, I drove from Southampton to the top right hand corner
of Kent (about 150 miles) in a knackered rented hi-top Transit (filched
from a friend who was moving house) to have a look at this CB500:

It looked quite nice as well (a little bit of corrosion and the rear
tyre was shot though): but just as we were about to get down to some
serious haggling it starting p***ing petrol out over the pavement - a
pin hole leak had opened up in the bottom corner of the petrol tank.

So I said there was no way I was putting that in the van, sorry. I guess
at least he can take it back to the place he got it in February and use
his remaining warranty...

And I drove back home.

The best bit was as I drove away he was standing next to it looking
sadly at the petrol leaking out into a bucket and smoking a fag. I mean,
FFS.

I am a little narked since its now 10 days since passing the DAS and
still haven't been able to arrange a bike.

There is an alwful lot of crap out there, that is why I bought the new ER-5
this time, I couldn't be arsed to wade through anymore dodgy sellers.

So paid my two and a half grand and now have a two year warranty, fingers
crossed I will spend more time riding than fixing the bike this year.

David

 

Exactly, I have just started my advanced riding lessons and want something
that will start, go and stop... eventually. Quite like it so far, very
relaxing bike to ride, got a big top box on it to swallow loads of wet
weather gear and a flask, oh and a few sanrnies.

David

 

I see you had a Bullet too, so did I. Oh and a Bandit, it was a nice candy
red although some of the visually challenged on here will say it was pink!

David

 

Bandit vs. a Bullet?? I know which one I'd recommend for the UK, but check
this cheeky little movie out:

(Make it work - WMP's playing up on my machine!)


And laugh/take the piss until the penny drops...

Empty country roads...

Friendly Fuzz....

Shirtsleeve biking....

Cheap Indian beer....

Curry on demand....


Now tell me petrol's at least a tenner a gallon and I'll stop fretting....

(You need those *idiot-pusher* leg-guards to get through the towns,
though....
