    Hmmm I dont think they are orange here, kinda amber colour ,-but then again I dont look it it too much ,--they make me dizzy flashing off and on like that.

    Red line the motor?? but I was pushing it.

    but I was pushing it.........

    that phrase has two meanings.....you were physically walking next to the bike as you wheeled it along....or that you were hard fisting the throttle, pushing it to its limit.........I refer to the later meaning.

    Now, Enfields, as anchient as they are, I would expect that you were walking alongside it at the time referrenced.......

    Na mate,- I was pushing it, you don't expect me to ride through traffic lights do you.

    Na again,-- the RE is in Malaysia, Im talking of Thailand where I have a Suzuki 1400 intruder and Elephansts dont have brake lights. Yes they stop at lights too but the hand brake is crap and tend to creep a bit. Plus they got this big swingy thing on the front that comes over and sniffs your headlamp,---and other bits.

    Its not much better pulling up behind them for obvious reasons.

    Yes there is. In one picture a boat is running, there is water coming out of the exhaust , sounds great, press the sound button.

    That was exactly what I expected after getting you a 120.000 € engine for 45.000$ which your customer did not pay!

    Apex,

    I am sorry to read your bitter comments mate,

    Please re read my messages to you, how can you possibly say that I did not pay when I clearly stated that my customer was in serious trouble, long before any supposed deal was made to buy these engines.

    I seriously cannot see where I have done anything wrong to you for such comments, but I also appologise profoundly if you do really feel this bad about the engine bit, I had no idea till now that there was any sort of problem.

    ………………………………………………….

    Hi,

    I got a answer, but not the one I wanted. They still fear the IMO regulations. I told them now I want the engines as a bedroom decoration.
    You know I want one for my newbuild as well? Unfortunately we do´nt lay the keel before September, that might be to late. Nobody will believe, that the engine was istalled in 2008 already!?
    Anyway, focus on your project.
    Maybe if I offer a sum, instead of waiting for a quotation, makes life easier.
    What does your customer expect? Something in the 140.000$ ballpark I reckon?
    Your destination port is Hongkong or Shenzen?

    Regards
    Richard

    Sorry Lubs! Could not see how you would know my biking experience.........
    Did not say YOU did´nt pay, just that your client did not.
    And yes I did comment a bit bitter, I had to buy both engines at the end. But will use one for myself as mentioned and sure will sell the other.
