Like Roller ball,without the ball and roller skaters?!? or was it more like the wall of death? could see them just about managing that too .

Yes they were used on the wall of death too... here is some board racing.... some nutters still do it in Germany.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EV2BnKB-So these guys are just playing of course....it was a bit faster and more serious in the old days....

I should imagine a bike like that would do very well on Ebay. Germany has ebay.de - to resolve the transapost costs.

wildroverThreads: 180 Posts: 8,188 Joined: Jun 7, 07 ♂	Jun 18, 11, 14:42 #13
It was on Polish ebay for one auction but did not sell , so yes it will be good idea to get it on UK and German ebay....

The bike actually belongs to a Polish friend of mine..... i have an interest in selling it , because when its sold , the guy gives me cash for my farm and i am off east to Moscow....

What is the connection between you selling an old motorcycle and your fiancee in Russia? By the way I thought she was living faraway from Moscow? I remember you talking two years ago about moving to Russia....

wildrover: no offers... What does it mean? Fixed price?

It means that nobody wanted to buy it, and nobody made an offer. Nobody said they would buy it for 40,000 zl, for example.

pawian: What does it mean? Fixed price? i understand it as fixed or minimum price.

scottie1113: It means that nobody wanted to buy it, and nobody made an offer. Nobody said they would buy it for 40,000 zl, for example. Wroclaw: i understand it as fixed or minimum price. It is fascinating how the English language can comprise so many different ways of interpretation. So many shades, so many viariats. Incredible.

My friend Romek owns the old Harley...when he sells it , he gives me a pile of dosh for my farm....and i have the money to buy a decent car , a van , and can tootle off to Moscow , marry my lady , and have some dosh in the bank towards our house in the country....

So , i am doing all i can to help him sell it....

And he does not want to take any less than 50.000 zloty for it , which is a fair price for such a machine....

But this story is going around for ages. One day you are leaving immediately for Russia. Next day you will be entertaining guests on your farm like, forever.
By the way, how did you manage to buy a farm in Poland way back - given the stringent laws on purchase of agricultural land in Poland?

sobieski: stringent laws on purchase of agricultural land in Poland? Probably, because he bought a house with a large garden, moreover he lives in a small village. Back in the day, there was always a way...

Forever...?

nooo ..the Danes just stayed with me a day or two....

and dont worry , i shall be off to Russia soon enough , its not easy moving to another country with all your possesions , especially when that country is Russia...

Most of the paperwork is done now , i am just hanging on a bit in the hope i can sell the farm before i go....rather than having to come back here again to sort it all out....

I find it entertaining... that you keep us posted...since ages...with your stories of your Russian lady....
Tell me... how did you manage to make a living here in Poland...with a farm...and as far as I know, from your postings... only knowing basic Polish?

sobieski: how did you manage to make a living here in Poland... I have sold many of my internal organs , worked as a belly button fluff remover , and worked in Polczyn zdroj market as a fish inflator.... Its not easy...but i make enough to buy one tin of beans a week....
