I know the owner, The bike is legit. He got tired of bogus calls so he came up with that awesome read.

If I was in his area I'd buy the bike solely to reward him for his literary skills. Well.....and to be a macho man.

"I will knock out what teeth you have left". Classic. Love that line. Gave me a good chuckle.

In term or power, not sure a 500 has to be ashamed of anything. Now in SX ... that would be just suicide unless you are JMB !

Seems to be several ads like that going around.

A local buddy of mine did one similar on a beater jeep he was selling and it went viral on facebook and I've seen a lot of them since. He's a nut and it was clearly his style, and nothing out of the ordinary for him. I don't know if he was the first to do it, probably not, but his was genuine because that's the way he is on everything.

I did something similar when I listed my sons TTR50 on CL. The ad wasn't that extreme in comparison to this one, but it was for sure over the top sarcastic and based around other ads like this. I put it up on a Sat after some Beers, BBQ and SX and Sunday, I'm getting calls/texts. Buyer came by the next day and out the door she went. Funny because when I did it, my wife was like "no way" thinking nobody would respond to an ad like that. Side note, the buyer was foreign and lived part time in my area and part time in Thailand or something and his plan was to ship all his kids dirt bike stuff back for them to ride. You'd be surprised how various people respond to ads like this.

I was trying to sell my yz125 last summer with no luck, kept getting tire kickers asking what the top speed is. So I finally got fed up and make a ridiculous ad saying it has a new powerband, I'll add a monster sticker kit, spray paint the engine and send more pictures of it covered in mud. Sold it the next day.

Sometimes idiocy is the right language.

Anyone remember this one...?


"Well folks, here's the story.

Husband had midlife crisis
Husband bought a dirtbike
Husband thought he would become the next James Stewart
Did I mention husband was 48 years old and SUCKED at riding dirtbikes?
Husband wrecks said dirtbike
Husband nearly dies
Husband racks up lots of medical bills from many days in ICU
Husband recovers
Wife sells dirtbike
Husband decides to buy a Harley instead
Wife says if Husband buys Harley, he will gain divorce papers
Husband buys Harley
Husband is now Ex-Husband
Ex-Husband is too busy wooing the ladies with new Harley and forgets to send child support
Wife sells Ex-Husband's crap that was left at her house
YOU get awesome deal on some sweet motocross stuff

Boys, just know that Wife is devoted to all of her sista's out there, so if you're a Husband going through a midlife crisis and have never ridden a dirtbike before, please don't reply. You don't need this stuff. You need to go find you a nice and safe hobby like golf or fishing. Don't be stupid and think you're 15 again. You're not. You're middle aged. You will never be James Stewart. You will never be the bad-ass you think you can be. Get over it. Go beg your wife's forgiveness right now for even thinking about getting a dirtbike and needing this crap. Go ahead... I'll wait. Now, go online and order her a dozen roses and make reservations at a swanky restaurant and hope that she will forgive you for being a dumb ass.

Now for the rest of you... If you are interested in any of this, please let me know. Here are the specifics:

RED Answer gear. Looks brand new. Not sure if the stupid idiot ever wore this set. Doesn't look like it. He crashed every time he rode, so I doubt this was ever worn since it is pristine. Motocross jersey size XL, Pants 38.

GREEN Monster Thor gear. Very nice condition. Not sure where the hell this came from. Maybe he had a little something something on the side that rode with him. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. Motocross jersey is size M, Pants 34.

Alpine Stars Tech 7 boots, size 11. Great condition. Wish I would have put these on and kicked him square in the arse. Haha!

Troy Lee Designs Moto GPX Leatt Brace. Excellent condition.

Honestly, I'd like to sell all of this in one big lot. The less time that I have to spend on getting rid of his crap the better. He didn't spend a lot of time getting over me, so I just wanna get this over with so I can move on and find me a REAL man who knows how to really treat a woman. Mmmmhmmm!

If any of you are into selling on Ebay, this would be a great lot for you. Located in Fort Gibson, but can meet you in Muskogee or Tahlequah. $375 for all or make me an offer on specific items.

I will be listing some more crap he left here and gave up. Copy and paste my phone number into the search field to see what else I have."

This was one I made up and posted a while ago on CL, you would not belive the amount of emails I got for it, all good humor.

1996 CR250 CR 250 Honda - $3700 (Concord NH)


1996 CR250
I have a 1996 CR250, this bike rips and is not for the beginner, or anyone that does not race. The motor is sorted, abolished and shoe-printed. It is so fast that when my brother rode it he raced a 1980 GPZ900 and won and the guy beat up my brother. I think the guy was a jerk cause he rode and old bike with a cow seat. The motor has only 3hrs on it after the dealership rebuilded it with tons of new parts. Starts 1st kick, unless your're my brother, he cant start it cause the guy who rode the GPZ stole his right motocross boot. The tires are bald but you can get new tire on ebay for like $5. The bars are bent but you can get those on ebay for like $5, my brother got a right motocross boot on ebay for like $5, now he don't walk in circles no more. New chain n sprockers. The throttle sticks a little and may need some lube, it stuck on my brother when he raced Canaan and he won the novice class but they scored him wrong cause the guy who did the scoring was the guy who rode the GPZ. You have to mix the gas, the head is shaved down so you have to use powermist so the motor don't blow, my brother makes the power mist by putting gas through the pressure washer then into the barrel. I bought this bike from a guy who raced at Canaan for 5k and he was an expert and did all the jumps. I need to sell it to get my brother out of jail, he chased the guy on the GPZ with the wand from the pressure washer and tried to beat him up. My sister called to cops on him and the cops thought the wand was a gun so they arrested my brother. The pic is from when my brother won at Canaan.

Keywords: CR,RM,KX,KTM, stoodabaker GPZ, jetsking, trailer trash, mobile home, Canaan, MX Boots, El Camino, Ranchero, redneck, pickup truck, long bed, 33 swampers, gears, shocks, forks, tires, gun rack, smoke, fire, water, paging Dr Howard, Dr Fine, Dr Howard, f-150, chevy. Ford, Guy chasing my brother, Bull Riding, beer.
