So I bought online what was claimed to be a relatively unmolested 71 Triumph Bonneville sight unseen. The bike was in Adelaide and I'm in Brisbane, so there's over 2000kms between me and the bike. Call me cautious but I wasn't willing to transfer a wad of cash and trust what got shipped back was what I paid for, so Rusty and I hired a trailer and hit the road to go and pick the bike up.
We hit the road after Rusty finished work on Thursday afternoon and were in Adelaide by Saturday lunchtime. It turns out that the bike was pretty much what was described and I could have saved myself some money by having the bike shipped across but hey, it's better to be safe than sorry.
