    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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"

What a jackass.

If he would have only taken care of the usual things on that bike (which he said he paid almost nothing for), he could have easily sold it for $1,800 with minimal investment. Cosmetically, it was pretty much perfect.

Here's the funny thing about these abominations that people call "bobbers". The intelligence level of the person who might actually want to buy one precludes their ability to generate the revenue required to pay cash for a bike if it costs more than a few hundred dollars.

In other words, there is no market for these things, none. Idiots see them listed on Craigslist like this, and assume that they actually bring the prices they're listed at. I've watched several ebay auctions for these things, they never bring more than $1,100 or so, and most don't make reserve at that price.

I'm done mincing words anymore, these bobber guys are just f***ing morons.

Don't hold back, tell us what you really think....lol, I have to agree, it was a nice looking bike before, now he's just like so many others, and we got to talk to him first hand which pretty much confims all are rantings about these bikes and their owners, sorry to those who actually know what they're doing when they build one, he just wasn't one of them.

You forgot the flat black paint job. But it can't be a cafe, it has fenders!

Interesting Weber carbs, they look just like Mikunis

1983 suzuki gs850gl for sale

This is the first ad I saw, and when I saw the picture and (tried to) read the description, I thought for sure the decimal place had been misplaced. It was only when I saw the other ads that I realized he was actually asking $5 grand for a non-running GL.

Here's the ad text:
