A simple website selling my motorbike

[Andy Black]

Ha. This is a blast from the past. I think I sold this back in 2011 or so.

I created www.gsxr600forsale.com and fired up some AdWords campaigns. There was hardly any search volume that summer so we shoved the bike in my mate's garage. The next summer someone emailed me having found the site organically.

Money changed hands and a couple of young fellas wandered off very happy. I wandered off happy too.

I let the domain go years ago, but someone found it via the waybackmachine.

I also did exactly the same a few years prior selling a Boxster (www.boxsterforsale.com at a guess?).

Anyway... I just used Wordpress and the Thesis theme, had a simple homepage, some more images in another tab, and then a contact me form.

Curious what all you copywriters think of my copy...

(I think "Impending wedding" would have been a bit better now I re-read it.)
