Craigslist "funnies"

[Guest]

From my own neighborhood, this 1986 Goldwing owner feels it runs fine and is a good deal at $1400. Lets go to the replay, shall we?

"Great running bike...it's old..it needs a good cleaning..but everything works and it runs better than most bikes...I would ride this bike anywhere....it jumps out of 4th when you put the throttle on...it will do fine in 4th for slowing down...it usually bypass 4th while starting out...great price for a good running bike..."

How do you jack up the 4th gear on a GW?!?

Virtually every ad like this has the same phrase in it; the carbs need adjusting. How is it you spend hours doing the hack job but find no time to finish the carbs? Sheesh!

"Over the last 2 years I have ripped the bike apart..."

Yes you did.

$4000.......oh but it doesn't have any brakes.... and oh ya, I haven't touched it in over a year so it probably doesn't run. BUT IT'S AN AWESOME BIKE.....

But is that $4000 CAD?

No, it's $4,000 in his imagination.

Nice... if it had a tailsection, I'd consider it a decent looking bike. it would be funny if someone told him they would give asking price...... If they could test tide it.

That one's kind of sad. I think the bike on the bottom is what he started from. I remember it was posted for sale last year from earlier owner along with a pretty decent looking black one as parts bike...

Some people don't the sense to leave well enough alone...

It's spreading. Where do they get the idea for the seats ?

Those seats are actually ALIEN larva, that take over weak humanoid minds.

Because if something can't be cut off with a sawzall or beat with a hammer, they're outside their skill envelope.
