Craigslist "funnies"

[duaneage]

Um is right...

What I've learned is you can much more for a crappy bike by cutting the back off, painting it flat black all over, leaving half of the parts off, and marketing it like an OCC custom ride.

Got it. I should be able to get 10K for my 650G this way.

Hilarious.

Dirt bike handles. 1/2" clearance on the pipe. No front brake.

That link is already being taken down. Sold already? Was going to see what he was asking for it. Wonder what the chain is for close to the footpegs???? Is that long rod a pull for a steam plug at the end of the pipe?

 

[koolaid_kid]

Still there. The rod is for the rear drum brake. He wants a paltry $3k.

Yup link is gone, just tried...anyways Good god amighty!

This bike has been ruined.. it sits so low the only way you could have pipes is high pipes.. there is no effing way I would ride that thing 10 feet set up as is..

I agree with the person above, people are crazy.. how can you strip and gut a bike, make unsafe and just downright moronic mods, and ask 2-3 times what a super clean stock bike is worth? Apparently they never attended rodding 101, 90% of the time when you chop something up, it lowers its resale value.. even if it raises its value in the owners eyes.

That bike is slower and worse handling than the day it was produced by a TON.. so are most all of these bobber projects.. I liked it better when cafe racers were all the rage

lol, that looks like a spark plug sticking out at the back of the pipe, for lighting unburnt fuel and shooting flames out!!

Well, I like to think I'm a glass half full kind of guy........... And in that spirit, this bike is perfect for me!!


You see, I have a lengthy, paved driveway and a couple times a week I find myself spending 15 or 20 minutes walking up and down the driveway with a leaf blower. It's a fairly mindless task.


BUT,...... with the all new silver shadow 2000, I can drastically reduce my driveway blowing time and get back to what I really love to do..........

Is this how they advertise in prisons ?

lol, I like the keywords he added.

Nah, I'm too lazy to pace off anything that long.

And, ... "they" don't give it up willingly, you have to know where to look, then use the "measure" tool.

[Spyder]

You know you have a long ass drive way, when you have a rest area in the middle of it...
