prate

intransitive verb \ˈprāt\ : to talk for a very long about something that is not very important or interesting


I suppose that one would talk for a long time on something very sharp. While eating a very unimportant, and uninteresting, dill pickle.


There.

Well, I have to admit, he did say "its a amazing dill".

1978 Suzuki GS 750 - $4000

http://images.craigslist.org/01515_6GBJQckuDHt_600x450.jpghttp://images.craigslist.org/00P0P_huahPIXcDrI_600x450.jpg

Customized GS 750E. A ton of work has been done to this bike. About 9,500 miles clocked, 3k on the engine after mods. Have clean title, almost all receipts, original tools, manuals and brochures for mods, extra parts - including stock carbs, stock clutch basket/discs, center stand, etc. Starts and runs great. Always garaged. Has a sticky clutch in neutral (hence the basket, just need to pop it in). Stator cover has small but hardly noticeable crack (bike was backed into by a car while parked in the street).

It has:

850 piston kit
Yoshimura cams
Heavy duty valve springs
Smooth-bore carbs
Velocity filters
4 into 1
Racing clutch
Front and back disc brakes
Custom leather seat (also have extra material)
Custom brown paint job with nice patina
Tons of chroming, down to the nuts and bolts - literally
New fuel filter
Oil just changed

May be willing to trade for another ride from a similar era, possibly a GS or CB, maybe an R90. Also interested in KLR dual-sports, or maybe BMW. Nothing below 500cc. Call, text or email 3_4 _7 5_1_4 3_4 _0_ 2. Location: Brooklyn or Westchester (whichever is easiest).

Just wouldn't be right if a photo was taken without Armourall on the tires

Ya know byes, if ye's reads it with an Irish or Cape Bretonner accent, it makes a lot of sense.

One of coined = One of a kind.. Take part trade...
yea byes, stand where ya to and I'll comes to where yours at..

My entire life will make more sense. I can read my dyslexic brothers writing now.

Yeah, I knew what some of them were meant to be, but let's get realistic, even the Irish or Cape Brettoners don't spell that way.

Here is what I interpret:

it is a fun protege it is a fun project
its a amazing dill ... it's an amazing deal
willing to tack prate trade (you said) willing to take part trade (I would have never guessed that)
it is a custom 1 of a coined rat bike it is a custom one of a kind rat bike (needs more Aussie accent than Irish)
AK Frankenstein AKA (also known as) Frankenstein
its mist with 1990 YZ 80 1963 totgot sorry, no clue on 'mist' or 'totgot'
and Honda 200cc Honda motor Kikker 200cc Honda motor kick-start
it well runs good it runs good

It is really too bad that so many of them are worded/spelled that way. In my opinion, if they don't care enough to make the ad look good, what care did they put into creating their monstrosity? It is true that not all geniuses are perfect spellers, nor are all perfect spellers geniuses, but first impressions ARE rather important.

I'm almost certain that the writer is dyslexic. My younger brother is dyslexic. (And very smart mechanically. He built a hydrogen converter and almost finished a hydrogen powered engine when he was only 15) but this is exactly how he writes emails and kijiji ads. It's gotten to the point that anything he writes on the internet I check beforehand and re-write before it's posted.

4k for a 750 that needs work? What a joke

I should apologize to all Cappers out there lest they send General John Cabot Trail and his CBLA after me.. but it did kind of help with the translation..

Its one thing to make a typo (big fingers) or a couple of misspellings in a long text, but gees. this fella writes like he talks.. spells it like it sounds in his head. Its like the fella who wrote a gripe on an aircraft; "hair line crack on the hair line"..

I'm far from being perfect in my skills at the english language (secondary language) but c'mon.. really?!

That seat is hideous, and shaped perfectly to slide the pillion off.

 

[rustybronco]

its mist with 1990 YZ 80 1963 totgot

MIST= mix't with=mixed
totgot=hthdik?

 

[Guest]

totgot is totegote, an old mini bike.

 

[farti1]

Tote Gote for 1963! Weld on an old YZ front end....drop in that massive 200cc Honda and something is going to get kicked.

It runs well

In his defense, auto correct could have had a hand in that description.

You'd be surprised at the crap some of these these not so smart phones and devices insert in place of text it doesn't understand.

Wonder how many rocks he smoked before he came up with that design???

I think those containers in the background are his copious crack rock supply...
