$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.

Do you have $3000 you want to flush down the sh**ter?

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...

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

Or very large grubs.

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!

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

I've got a couple of knobblies to stick on the GS and call it a scrambler, too. I doubt if anyone in Kilkenny is daft enough to pay 4K for it, though.
I see his Beemer has the collapsible snowflake wheels. I'm just glad mine wasn't old enough to run into that problem, at the time. If I'd hung onto it, it would have been, eventually.

And the master of rattle can (2 coats of which they consider "power coat").

The Cats aren't daft enough to pay it but might be smart enough to ask for it

I doubt if any farmer is going to be impressed by the special caged headlight which is nothing more than a tractor headlamp, all of ten quid from India.
He missed a trick there; should have fitted a pair of them, and looked more cool, kinda thing.

La-la land permanent resident. It's not even running, but would be easy to make it go 200 mph

Wait, am I reading this correctly?

"...combined with the incredible power, made for a machine that was possibly the reason for the evolution of mankind as a whole.
That is why it is $9500.00 and not $950.00"

Methinks evolution passed this guy by.

"If you put another $10K into this bike you might be able to get the original purchase price back out of it..."

I did not know that in 1979 a GS1000 sold new for $19,500.

Then there is this: "If you think this is a joke, well, you sure got up on the right side of the bed this morning!
'cause it is."

Umm, what? :chargrined:

 

[JamesWhut?]

Umm, what?

He's either a poster here or aware of the "CL Funnies" existence.

So $950:00 It is. I call first dibs.
