 If I was looking, I'd talk to him..  :smiley: He's just telling it like it is, IMHO.

I thought the humor was pretty good and didn't sound like a bunch of BS. I'd say it looked pretty good and reasonably priced. Great bikes over 40MPH.

That was correct for bikes of that vintage.  From the factory.

I enjoyed that well-written, informative, and humorous ad. I think knowing the seller a bit is part of the process - and this owner put a bit of himself and his sense of humor into the ad.  :thumb:

I've sold several bikes via Craigslist - but I have never sold a Moto Guzzi (don't want to).

I think anyone who doesn't get the humor in that ad is lacking personality.  Great ad, great bike.

Saw that... Gorgeous bike. Dropping Tom's name is a plus. I don't go anywhere else.

I'd have a look at it.   Unlike a lot of CL ads, nothing in there that turned me off.   Sounds real!

Sounds like a scam... kidding. I agree, good person, hope the bike goes to someone whom cares about it as much as he did/does.

Its my bike for sale. Thankyou for the compliments. At the recent GRIN rally i bought a sport 1100 from a good friend in texas. Unfortunately the lemans has to go. I still love this bike, i just have too much going on and wiyh yhe sport showing up she will likely just sit. Entropy happens in my garage. I think it is better for me to thin the herd, although i have two project bikes underway. Hope someone here picks it up. Thanks again for the kind words. It reminds me why i hang out here. Guzzista are very special.

Entropy happens - ain't that the unfortunate truth? Good luck with the sale.  :boozing:
