    Runs great but i see a weeping head gasket at the very least of its potential problems the owner isnt disclosing



    MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
    1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Need to sell, has pods…I'm reminded of what turned me off about the facebook GS page. Endless posts by kids all boasting how they're gonna put pods on the ole GS they just bought, and make it bobber cafe.

          Maybe he found out that the seat & battery can not occupy the same space.
          (Look at the pic with the battery & no seat. Then look at the pic with the seat.)

              Ha! That's why the seat is custom shaped for a rider with a pointy butt...and no direct side photos.

                Craigslist funnies.

                I wonder why the description of this $21,000 bike says "Bottom of the bags are scuffed up from dragging and there's some places in the paint chipped."?

                Ya think?

                  This is a bit cheeky, seeing that it's in our "For Sale" section: https://york.craigslist.org/mcy/d/19...291900152.html

                      That has to have a foot of trail. Bet it is tricky getting it to turn.... But if it DID turn the bags would scrape and set you back upright.

                          I saw one of these monstrosities at a gas station, and it hydraulically raised up a few inches to ride it.

                              You'll have a "bad ass" after riding that.

                                Not a GS, but this CL post certainly is funny:



                                "Up for sale is a 1992, or possibly 1993 Honda Pacific Coast 800. I honestly never cared to know what year it was - this bike only gets better looking with age. What I do know is that every time I pass your girlfriend on this, she gives me the same look of arousal that can only be compared to the look my junior year homecoming date gave me after I shotgunned an unhealthy amount of Keystone Light in a Walmart parking lot. ..."

                                Read on for the full sales pitch.
