Is bidding more important than voting?  :shrug:  ( I've done neither, waiting for the raffle. )

 :welcome2: Looks like you joined us here to sell your bike eight years later and there's nothing wrong with that in my eyes. It is a fine looking example.

If you are selling then you should help yourself by adding some details about the bike and where in the country you are.

As it has not got an oil cooler I am thinking that it is an LO (2010) Wee.

Although the LO looks like the K9 it has some differences that lead me to believe the Glee was not quite ready and the LO was a stop gap between the Gen 1 and Gen 2.  A great bike nevertheless.

This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

That looks like a K5 or K6 with the decals I had on my K6.

They changed to a fancy design from K7.
Also it's missing the 2nd plug on the front cylinder (rhs) that the 2007 onwards bikes had.

I will up the bidding to £6 of the finest pounds.

Nice clean bike, especially the main pivots.
If it's upright in the bottom photo though then it needs oil ;)

I can go a little more than £10 as I've just sold the email address and mobile number to a 'friend' on the interwebs.

I am not prepared to be drawn into a bidding war, I really find them quite vulgar.

Three Guinea's including purchase tax.
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

OK OK, £15, but only considering it'll likely need a service and new set of boots   :shrug:

I will also throw in a couple of bikers campsite stickers I managed to aquire recently.  lol

I think you are all being very unfair. This chap has a well cared for low mileage machine on offer and all you can do is take the pee. Come on get real, it must be worth at least £25.00

He's not been back on since he posted. I'd have been checking ever 15 minutes to see if anyone was interested. He'll be scratching his head at the direction it's gone.
