Craigslist "funnies"

[Rob S.]

I guess people don't like having they're faults pointed out

How do you feel about it?

How do you feel about it?

Like I didn't look at my spell checker

[duaneage]

Craigslist should use auto spell check as a condition of posting.

Craigslist should use auto spell check as a condition of posting.

It wouldn't help much. Spell check only checks for spelling of a word. It doesn't check for use. I can say there are eight stairs, or I can say there are ate stairs. Spell check doesn't know the difference.

^^^Something was amiss. It's GONE!

Apparently a seller of overpriced junk got offended and flagged it. It was right on...

[witttom]

Umm..... holy crap.

Drag racer quad - $1800 (Goshen)

Suzuki Gs1100. On custom quad frame. Drag racing in the dirt. Wheelie bar. Many trophies extra parts included $1800 OBO REDUCED.

Oh!, that quad looks like fun!
Cool lookin piece!

[Spyder]

I would consider going to look at that quad if it were closer. It certainly does look like a lot of fun...

[TxGSrider]

Ive got a friend here that has an R1 in a DS650. Its actually very quiet compared to most other quads. Uses it for sand dunes but said he tried taking it out on the trails once and it was pretty useless, something about not being able to keep the front end down at all in any gear below 4th and even then it was impossible to steer. I still would've liked to tried it. lol!

[Spyder]

Well, with a quad with that much power on dirt, you CAN have too much traction. I think you would need a lot of tire spin to steer it. Hmmm, I have a 16 valve 750 engine doing nothing, and I think I know someone with a quad frame I could get my hands on... Hmmm...

Years ago when we rode ATCS and quads a guy would ocassionaly show up at the sand pit we rode at with a Quaddracer with an 1100 stuck in it. We always had a fun challenge climbing the hills on our 250cc ring dingers, while he would simply idle to the bottom of the hill then hit it, climbing, while accelerating up the hill throwing immense rooster tails behind him. It was odd hearing a street bike among little singles.

How could anyone refuse to buy it. In fact, all that lot of accessories / go-faster / goodies / shiny junk might compensate for the evil handling, if handling isn't too strong a word for something that couldn't take a corner if you stood it up on end and moved it around the corner with a fork truck.
That, and any potential buyer would have to match the owner in bird-brained-ness. Mind you, that's not impossible.
