    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Craigslist "funnies"

Yeah, started laughing even harder when I hit this spot-
"Serious offers only, any and all negative comments email me may be publicly posted on a web forum and dissected for humor content.
If you think this is a joke, well, you sure got up on the right side of the bed this morning!
'cause it is."
...guess some folks just want to be famous in their own way....it makes for some good reading sometimes.

For starters I am honored that someone actually found that listing.

And if you had read the whole thing, which I assume you did, you would of come across this line -

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

But maybe that was too much for your to comprehend, eh?

Sorry, just stating the obvious!

:D

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:
Click to expand...

Umm, like, it says right there, it is a joke, a parody on what we all read all the time on CL.

And it really hurts me to explain stuff like this. If you put another 10K into the bike, you might be able to get your original purchase price of $9500 back out of it - maybe.

I keep forgetting some people don't get it and never will.

Ohmmmmmmeter time -moving on:

Not aware of the funnies until now - As mentioned, it's a parody of the stuff we see a lot.

You're close enough on price - almost there - are you close enough to come and get it, that's the question!

No link to the actual listing...but somebody reach out to him and direct him here...

Thanks, I hope he takes advantage of the offer.

He just called me back and is going to register on the site. Name is David, look for him in the electrical tech section, it's a GS550L. My gut instinct is it's his first bike, he has never owned or held a wrench and probably has never owned a voltmeter either. LOL This may be interesting. heh

Yeah, if one never starts, progress can be errr ahhhh difficult. LOL The part that is different about him is that he is more interested in getting it running than selling.
 
A different set of problems than what we usually see, but the seller seems to know what the problem is and is confident it is nothing major. After all, a friend told him so.

Doesn't look too bad for a partial cafe...but then there is this,

"Had a buddy take a look at this bike for me he said obviously it slips in second do to a clutch problem but will ride fine in other gears..."

Oh, then that is good, only need to replace the clutch plate for 2nd gear. Do not need to replace all of them.

The only problem I have with it is the price, come on, it's a GS550!

Now, if is was a GPz550 in mint stock condition, we could talk -

But then again, it would take more money.....

Anyway, I want to send them a message and ask just how many cafes it has raced and how many it has beaten, but I'll refrain -

Gotta get to posting.....

Need to get all this listed today:

I knew of this model (Madura) but never saw one for sale. What gets me about the ad is this; "THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL BIKE, I DON'T HAVE A PIC OF IT."

So the poster uses this picture to represent the bike for sale...

00n0n_2rRVWl0eTN4_600x450.jpg


Makes me wonder what the bike for sale looks like, is it better or worse than the picture?
