3 X Motorcycles

Post by wasfromweymouth »

Hi guys (and dolls?),
Just new to the forum. Was wondering if anyone has any experience of buying bikes from 3 Cross Motorcycles near Ringwood (technically Dorset so in the SWBikers catchment I guess). I'm looking at a second-hand pan ST1300 they have online and if I decide to go for it will have to buy unseen as I'm living rather a long way away at present. Just don't want to get stung if it turns out to be a pup and they're a bunch o' charlotans! :ymdevil: Any advice?

Three Cross have been around for a long time, that said you could buy a pup from pretty much anywhere...? Do the usual checks that anyone would recommend is all I would say, or get someone to go look at it for you..? (I wasnt offering btw!! lol!)

Good luck!

I'm there every now and then all the people that work there are friendly and very helpful each time. It's a dig dealership plus if anything was wrong you'll have warranty :-)

I bought my leathers off them donkey years back, were very good back then but I believe they have scaled things back somewhat these days. :roll:

That's really helpful, thanks. Still undecided what to do though! There's a similar bike at a dealer near me but with more miles, no ABS or electric screen and extra £50. I don't know anyone in the area who could check the 3X bike for me - I could ask my mum and dad but they would FREAK if they knew I was getting a bike and beyond seeing it had two wheels wouldn't know a pup if it bit 'em on the...
Thanks again for the help lads and lassie (- this is how they talk up here, north of the border, and I don't mean Wiltshire...). :D
