Things I have noticed from this thread...
I have noticed a pattern on the ads for these "customized" gems. Nearly all of the following rules apply to these CL ads:
a. It seems punctuation is completely unnecessary in the ad.
b. Silly things like engine displacement or mileage are not important to sell
the bike.
c. The bike must be mentioned as a "head turner".
d. Using a hacksaw requires labor, so that labor cost is included with
price of the bike. That is why these "bobbers" cost more than what
the bike is worth completely stock.
e. Flat black paint makes the bike "cooler"
f. Any rear suspension, though safer and far more comfortable, will
will actually make the bike less desirable, so it must be removed.

If you ever need a "helment" you can buy one on craigslist in the motorcycle section. Sometimes the seller is motivated - you can tell because they say "must sale".

Yep, I see this all the time and it drives me crazy. I'm not saying I always speak perfect grammar or never make a spelling mistake, but I do make an effort to not sound like a complete buffoon.
By the way, "twatwaffle" is a great word, and I may have to steal that from you.

GS ace
78 750
Yup. It's a jewel of an ad. There's the classic absence of punctuation, "crotsh", and "inquieres". BTW, the bike may not be a '78.....it has a '77 cluster.
