Title: GTO on eBay U.K.
Post by: ziggy stardust on September 16, 2012, 04:04:56 PM

I've seen this bike on eBay before when it didn't meet reserve, it's an excellent example.

It's a method the parasitic U.K. government use to try and make sure you don't get away without paying road tax on top of all the other taxes we have implemented on us.

Is the GTO gearbox not the same as the GTR? I thought it was.

If he doesn't even know the correct year of the bike, how does one expect him to know how many gears it has?   ??? ;D ???
