Well, if the bike is in South Africa, it's actually mid-summer right now.
OP, I know well that tendency to people-please. At its extreme, it leads to an inability to even *know*( oneself, much less show it to others). In milder forms it merely gives rise to a lot of reflexive accommodating responses which, in the end, seem to serve no one. It's good to have a few standard scripts to follow to allay those tendencies, e.g., "First person who shows up with cash takes it."
I've concluded that there are motivations for buying, shopping, and selling which don't really work for me. For example, some folks seem to shop around endlessly as a means of generating a sort of social life, or to try on different fantasies about who they might be someday. Unless my goals are similar ("Gee, this is great! I meet so many fascinating people while I'm trying to sell my motorbike!"), I want to weed them out as effortlessly was possible.
Enough from me, I think. Good luck with your sale!
