St. Louis. He's going to rob and shoot you when you meet him behind the hardware store to look at the bike. Make sure to bring cash and no gun, guns are evil.

Does anyone remember the name of the column, I think RacerX use to do, where they found dumb craigslist ads like this and ripped them apart???

They were hilarious I'd like to check them out again

Nevermind I finally found it through google. If anyone is bored and wants a laugh check out "Cool as Hell:Junk Bikes for Sale" on RacerX. Pretty Funny stuff.

"The six speeds, badass tuned pipe and ultra-modern mono shock are great and all, and it’s nice that the brakes work well, but does any of that really matter if the engine doesn’t function? If there’s such a thing as a Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs for motorcycles, this seller is definitely starting at the wrong end of town. By the looks of that fermented seat, this thing has been stored outside, which is always a good thing when the engine is disassembled and open, especially in a place like Alaska that has such a mild climate.

The seller mentions that the cylinder cracked shortly after the installation of a slew of new parts. The fix? He just let it sit for a few years before attempting to start it again. Shockingly, it didn’t fire right up. Instead, the “piston broke so now there's aluminum in the crankcase and the rod bearing is jammed up.” We’re guessing that if the same mechanical know-how that defined this bike as modern was used to assemble the engine, it’s not surprising that it expired quicker than a quart of milk in a Death Valley power outage.

The Verdict: If you feel at all tempted to purchase this spider habitat that was formerly a motorcycle, just turn around and run. Actually, you can just go ahead and walk, there’s no way this bike can catch you."

LOL!!

WOW...now that's ghetto priced! But kind of an odd price to sell something for???wonder what they want the extra 6 dollars for.


Im guessing another pissed off woman! Wish that was closer so I could see just how mad she was at him.Tongue

Usually they say something like the bike is in storage, they are in the military and are getting shipped out immediately. You cannot go see the bike because it is in another town, but they will ship it to you after you pay usually with western union.

And they pull photos of other bikes for sale to use in the ad. They will also us a Magic Jack for a phone number and understanding them is Very Difficult as their native language is based somewhere in Central Africa or Haiti.

Done with every category of "for sale, for rent and for lease."

Its a Scam. Same ad is here in Atlanta twice. I flagged them both and as usual Craigs List will leave them up for a week. . I also googled the phone number and its an escort service haha. I'm tired of these scammers seriously!
