Craigslist "funnies"

[glib]

I'm trying to decide if this guy is serious or not.

Must be a drag bike. It has the turning radius of the space shuttle.

Not necessarily craigslist but:

Am I missing something here? Or am I just ignorant?

A lot of craigslist sellers don't have a clue. LOL There is a local ad on craigslist that has been running for a year. They guy is asking $150 for a old (well used) Suzuki rectifier. He has a picture of it in the ad. What he has is a turn signal cancel module. LOL

What happened to the rear of the bike?

Someone should have told him that taking a saw to an old Kaw is like burning hundred dollar bills.

Not sure but this might not be such a bad bike. KZ1000 J-model bikes draw good $$. This one has some good mods too. Fix up the back side and add some gauges and you would have a pretty nifty scooter. If you could get him down to a grand it wouldn't be a bad pickup.

Explain to me again why for $11k someone would want this? Cool factor worth that much?

Mini apes, no front brake, suicide shift, 2 foot levers for rear brake?, straight shorty pipes that stoke your right thigh with heat and fill your schnauze with fumes, saddle that looks tough on the nuts especially with the hardtail, open primary belt (maybe wears velcro type sneakers and no bell bottoms). I guess no front fender doesn't matter since the bike has never seen rainy days. Signals not needed when you have arms busy with the suicide shift and navigating the springer front end? Good taillight that can be seen one car length behind you. Headlight that should illuminate at least 13 feet in front of you....oh that's right...you leave it parked after dark. Oh yeah....I had something just like this when I was nineteen....never mind!!
Note: I paid $600 for my old Triumph chopper many years ago. Must be inflation?

1 foot brake, 1 foot shifter, and 1 oil pressure gauge...

I wonder how many feet this custom Honda has been ridden

Looking like it touches the ground.....I don't think this thing corners very well....Even in a straight line....never mind a speed bump or an irregularity in the pavement.

What a waste of scrap metal.

Gaud, I love this thread! Always good for a laugh.

That Honda Hawk low rider is stunning, for all the wrong reasons.:black_eyed:

Is that a Fred Flintstone brake handle by the right footpeg?

 

[Rob S.]

Not surprising that he's open to trades.

I was wondering about that Flintstone handle. A stand?

 

[midwestgs]

If he hits a tiny bump won't his front tire bottom on his triple-tree??

 

[wymple]

Doesn't say much for Pittsburgh's World of Wheels, either. 1st place?

LOL Yeah, I thought the same thing.

Pittsburgh World of Wheels is actually a big event in the city's convention center.

AAAWWW.

I hadn't noticed that.

But just now I noticed the tube on the right side of the fuel tank. I think it's a "Sight gauge". A transparent tube (Perhaps glass) in a brass outer sleeve so you can see the level of fuel in the tank.

Don't fall on the right side. You might rip it out and start a fire.

We can dream can't we?

I bet the JB weld holding it on breaks first.

The "swingarm" rear wheel axle holders/chain adjusters(?) appear to be fabricated from 2" EMT LB conduit bodies...

So much easier than installing a fuel gauge or an odometer.
