They didn't seem much interested in the bike apparently - they were
after the address and although it's been on sale a while this weeks MCN
was the first one it has been in. If I were selling a bike I wouldn't
give my address to just anyone who asked - I'd wonder why they didn't
want to see the bike first. Anyway, it won't hurt to put his bikes in my
garage for a while.
