Craigslist "funnies"

[1_v8_merc]

I remember that bike,it was at the Spunky's vintage show I went to with Trevor and a few guys from BCCMC.

Wow, he didn't spare any expense huh?
Especially with those $5 e-bay pods, and those Lowes vacuum hose that goes for 65cents per foot....

What a tool.

Here's an interesting SOHC Honda. Not sure what he wants to trade for it. Might be out of pink paint??

Never seen a pink spinnaker before.

...judging by the blurry photos, he has tears in his eyes when he looks at it...
I know I do. Thanks
(and why DO so many craigslist ads have blurry,dark,plain- bad pictures of something to sell?)

What cracks me up, is when they supply photos, but are so small, they are worthless

Lots of potential is code for pile of crap.

Why do people take off the fenders? Is that supposed to look 'cool'? Have the never actually ridden a bike before, and don't realize it's not there to be pretty, it's there to do a job? Hell, I'd have ditched the fairing in a minute, right along with those goofy bars, but the fender looked nice.. some polish on that bike would've increased it's value, the paint turned it into a future parts bike lol.

I know this was on here before months ago but its such a joke I share it again...and the price is down $1000 from last summer http://lincoln.craigslist.org/mcy/3522158065.html

"I need to part with this bike for medical reasons."
This seems to be a common statement. If I rode a bike like that I would need a chiropractor.

Really doesn't need anything, but maybe a paint job!

Replaced with a real motorcycle would be a good start.

Really no excuse for bad photos on CL. 99% of cameras today let you actually see what you took a picture of. Or they think the "accent" of the picture will mask something. Crappy angles, half the bike in the picture - why bother?

I started looking at bikes on craigslist about a year ago and ended up writing an article on my blog as a passive-agressive response to all the utterly crap ads on there. It's mostly a list of my top peeves when scanning ads with some not-so-witty commentary:

I have a better offer.

You know, that may actually run ok. Well, it may actually run.

Another of those rat bike projects that no one wants to ride, even its creator.
