Think a lot of the listing was done jokingly - I mean from your quote alone

* Did you consider the fact that the bike has no meter??
* If a meter were fitted would it measure skid distance (considering the skid happens when the wheel is locked).
* The fact that he claims to have skidded almost 80 miles??
* Do you think he (or anyone for that matter) has ever measured 80 miles worth of skidding?

fact is that he is Australian (or at least in Australia) and as a rule they dont mind having a laugh with things like this

Did you read that his longest skid lasted for two weeks? I think it's believable.

Now to answer your questions.

- The meter is invisible.
- It's got Chuck Norris power since it's rad to the power of sick, so it measures anything.
- Two weeks sounds about right, I don't know why you question that one?
- Yes. Him, duh.

It also probably draws more attention to the ad too. Strangely enough, I think it somehow ends up raising the auction value.
