    Or maybe YOU could! Since he's YOUR client :p

    Go on then! Pm his details and I will have a bike with him within days.

    I'm more than happy to put my money where my mouth is :D

    Him getting off his backside and actually riding it though is another matter entirely!

    So your, sorry HIS uncle is willing and able to cough up 700 for stock to help him out but he is not willing to put it towards anything else that would be more productive in helping his nephew? Ahhh I see.

    And give him my email address in the process? I don't think so.
    Pm them to me.
    I will have adverts plastered all over the place in his area and some kind soul would even deliver it. People are nice like that.

    Makes no sense whatsoever. As it still would be for business purposes. The only difference is it would go towards a more viable one. As opposed sitting on his butt selling the odd jet ski.

    On bike topic, its also no good getting some old rustbucket with dodgy gears, tyres etc.. as there is no money to fix it in case gets a puncture or it breaks in some matter.

    I do hope you aren't charging this "client" of yours as he won't be able to pay you :D
    Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama ;)

    That's a rather negative and presumptuous reply! You do surprise me, especially for someone who has his own clients and all that I mean ;)
    What is it you actually do for a living again? COZ YOU SUCK AT IT!!!

    Get his Uncle to sell the stock he has and then his Uncle could lend him the money for a deposit on a room in a town that would be able to offer him employment opportunities.. This Jet Ski business obviously wasn't thought out properly, he can get them up and sold on EBay pretty quickly and the money used for a more sensible approach to gaining an income.
