With Dog as my witness, I swear on a pile of Milkbones that I will never, ever call.

That's not even so bad. It's just a gs550. I've seen so much worse.

I'd think the Honda CB350 four motor would be worth the $550 but, alas, it's been painted.  ???

How could ANYONE be serious making a call about that bike?   I could never do it, I'd be giggling too much to even talk to the guy.

Notice that everyone "hates to sell" but everyone has a my-wife-she, my-dog-it excuse why they have to sell.   Believe me, I don't want to know ANYTHING about these people's personal lives .... :o   :o   :o

I hope no one buys it-the swingarm is extended so far the chain will be a nightmare to keep tensioned. On ADV there's a thread about bad Craigslist ads. Right up there.
Give someone an idea and he'll grind up fish in a blender and call it a "diet"

"DO NOT EVEN CALL IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS. I am tired of dealing with people backing out last second."


Sounds like - in the case above - several instances have occurred of good judgement leaping into the chasm b'twixt impulse and action.


These horrendous mutations of bobber/street fighter bad taste are particularly thick on the ground here in Arizona. I blame our epic meth problem compounded by the proximity of the MMI and its drop-outs or less intelligent alumni.

They seem to specifically enjoy targeting my favorite UJMs... Suzukis.

As to the Sportster - I dig it and would give it a look were it in my AO. Seems well on its way to a "Frisco" build... or on its way from one. :BEER:
