Craigslist "funnies"

..., but not from a Country with 1 official language like the States.

On the contrary, the United States has no official language. (<-- click the link)

Canadians, I had to cut Canada off from eBay sales several years ago due to a lot of, well, "problems".
I'm not sure why so many Canadians are, let's say, "grouchy", but whatever, we here in the States have our own issues with that.
The upper east coast comes to mind.
A couple of years ago I had to travel to Montreal and guess what - everyone was wonderful, the food was great, everything about it was good and fun -
and I learned quickly that Canadians take their hockey seriously.
Very seriously, as in police in riot gear seriously.
My eBay sales are opened up to Canada again, without any issues, and I forgot what it was back then that was causing all the friction.
No matter, I live in a country that I've just learned has no official language.
Fitting of a country without any qualified candidates for the Presidency....

Why, that'll start up and run good as new, won't it?

Well, at least maintenance is easier and quicker with no bodywork. Everything is out in the open and in full view. I would imagine a coolant leak at the radiator cap between the riders legs would be exciting.

"Today I found out the U.S. has no official language."

Just found that out today? Where the frig has he been all his life?

You are (somewhat) correct, it COULD be exciting, except that's not the radiator cap. It's the fuel filler.

You can sort of see the rad cap in the first picture. Look between the top of the right fork tube and the rear tire of the truck. There is a larger (about 1 1/4") tube that runs down, and a smaller hose that bows outward and downward. The large tube is the main coolant passage, the smaller hose is the overflow/pressure relief.

It isn't much of a pacific coast if it doesn't have the body. It is basically nothing at the moment but a wreck. I like it when a person with a vision buys a bike (or wreck) and 'fixes' it then has a lucid moment and then tries to unload it on craig's list or kijiji. Surprised he didn't call it a 'cafe' racer............

My sister's looking for one of those, although I think she'd prefer it to be a little more...complete?

I see it now, thanks for pointing it out. I would think, with those coolant hoses routed everywhere, when one sprung a leak, that WOULD be exciting. Although a fuel spill at crotch height has its high points as well...

This ad description cannot be described as anything but profane hyperbole of the highest order. I love his enthusiasm and dedication to making the point.

I absolutely detest fake patina.

[Buffalo Bill]

People love fake, much more than real. Ever notice that?

[dorkburger]

Sadly, yes. True patina takes time, and.... actual long term use of the machine.
