Title: Local bike listings on Craigslist
Post by: Tom on March 25, 2017, 07:58:15 PM
Three local ads that provided some entertainment for me.  Different reasons but all entertaining.  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Wow, I wonder if Chuck's tin foil trick will work on the Honda?

On the rust bucket Honda.  Not only the obvious but also in Hawaii, the seller of this bike has to provide the shipping documents for the bike entering Hawaii.  If they're available, the cost of the bike would include the cost of registration for when the bike came into Hawaii.  Approx. 3yrs at $97 a year.  Let alone getting it on the road.  Without the shipping paperwork, the best you could do is part out the bike.  :azn:

The Triump.....well, I guess the guy has disposable income.  He'll have to sit on i.t for a while and drop the price.  Of course, a hard sell always works.  It a low mileage 2nd hand bike.  :tongue:

SX650....really??   :grin:  His previous ad was also a hard sell too.  Like he was doing a favor selling the bike at that price.  :grin: :grin:

The more of that Honda that is left under the tarp the better it looks.

74 CB 550...

"No idea what issues there may be" - well, the first issue is the evidence of iron cancer.  :shocked:

The 2014 Triumph is what it is, and only a kama'aina knows what the market for such a machine is, and how much of a premium there might be for a bike that is landed on the islands.

The Yammy bobber looks like an interesting bit of work - and a good way to get killed. No evidence of a front brake, the rear brake on bikes of that era was mostly just a polite request to reduce speed, and the tires look like a good excuse to slide off the road on the wet side of the island. We won't even talk about the price...
