Craigslist "funnies"

[Burque73]

Not a bad price for a "seemingly" whole parts bike. I could use the engine, and would likely make him an offer if it wasn't so damn far away...

Well, I know the guy and could pick it up cheap, as if 200 isn't already cheap. It is in ridiculously poor shape though but he said the engine turns.

Edit: that bike sold

$2,500 - That seat is horrible

I just got it back from the shop. It runs great. All the lights work. It does have some cosmetic issues:

The kick starter snapped off pretty much a week after I got it. It has an electric starter that works great.

There is a dent in the gas tank.

None of the electronics work other than the starter and the lights.

The rectifier has snapped off but is being suspended by metal wire.

The biggest problem is that neither the tachometer nor the speedometer gauge work. The bike tops out at about 60 mph anyway so you're probably not going be going much faster than 50 mph.

^^^Is it just me, or does the back of the seat look like a butt hole?

As he wrote; “It does have some cosmetic issues”.
Guy must be helpless for mechanical problems, had to pay somebody to do this bolt on fix?; “The mechanic just replaced the front brake cable”.

How to deal with a CL scammer...

Found this on Yahoo today. Painfully slow scrolling, but it is funny.

^^^I read that on my phone earlier. Even more painfully slow reading. Pretty funny, though.

Great scam backfire. Too bad he couldn't post it up to a REAL site to make it easier to read. So many popups and crap, I'll need to run a few scans on my machine before the day is out, lol...

800,000 miles on the tires. Are they made of steel?

It's shocking how many people have no idea that "K" stands for x 1000. Apparently they think it is one. LOL

It's Kilometers or Clicks for the civilized world. Or 488 miles.

All these bobbers remind me of rat rods. I liked them at first, but they're starting to get on my nerves.

[chuck hahn]

To me its a waste of a bike and money to build something thats of no practical useful purpose.

[wymple]

I don't like it either, but it has more practical use than a stamp collection, or a beer mug collection, or an antique tractor that never does a job, or.........people spend billions of dollars on fluff and nonsense in this country.

To me, it hurts to see a SOHC 750 butchered that way. So few left in good condition that seeing another one hacked makes my hair hurt.

I recently was a "first responder" of sorts in an accident involving a bobber and a small car. Thankfully low-speed, on a intersection, with traffic lights. Haven't seen the accident itself, just the aftermath, but obviously the car was turning left, crossing bobbers track - which just got the green light, apparently. Broke guys' leg.

Pondering the whole thing afterwards, I was wondering whether the guy could've walked off with a few bruises only with a different seating position.
