Craigslist "funnies"

[Rob S.]

I guess people don't like having they're faults pointed out

How do you feel about it? :xsmilie_mrgreen:

Like I didn't look at my spell checker

 

[duaneage]

Craigslist should use auto spell check as a condition of posting.

Craigslist should use auto spell check as a condition of posting.

It wouldn't help much. Spell check only checks for spelling of a word. It doesn't check for use. I can say there are eight stairs, or I can say there are ate stairs. Spell check doesn't know the difference.

^^^Something was amiss. It's GONE!

Apparently a seller of overpriced junk got offended and flagged it. It was right on...

 

[witttom]

Umm..... holy crap.

Drag racer quad - $1800 (Goshen)

Suzuki Gs1100. On custom quad frame. Drag racing in the dirt. Wheelie bar. Many trophies extra parts included $1800 OBO REDUCED.

 

[fred smailes]

Oh!, that quad looks like fun!
Cool lookin piece!

 

[Spyder]

I would consider going to look at that quad if it were closer. It certainly does look like a lot of fun...

 

[TxGSrider]

Ive got a friend here that has an R1 in a DS650. Its actually very quiet compared to most other quads. Uses it for sand dunes but said he tried taking it out on the trails once and it was pretty useless, something about not being able to keep the front end down at all in any gear below 4th and even then it was impossible to steer. I still would've liked to tried it. lol!

 

[Spyder]

Well, with a quad with that much power on dirt, you CAN have too much traction. I think you would need a lot of tire spin to steer it. Hmmm, I have a 16 valve 750 engine doing nothing, and I think I know someone with a quad frame I could get my hands on... Hmmm...

Years ago when we rode ATCS and quads a guy would ocassionaly show up at the sand pit we rode at with a Quaddracer with an 1100 stuck in it. We always had a fun challenge climbing the hills on our 250cc ring dingers, while he would simply idle to the bottom of the hill then hit it, climbing, while accelerating up the hill throwing immense rooster tails behind him. It was odd hearing a street bike among little singles.

How could anyone refuse to buy it. In fact, all that lot of accessories / go-faster / goodies / shiny junk might compensate for the evil handling, if handling isn't too strong a word for something that couldn't take a corner if you stood it up on end and moved it around the corner with a fork truck.
That, and any potential buyer would have to match the owner in bird-brained-ness. Mind you, that's not impossible.

Good to hear it comes with a gas cap.

 

[Gorminrider]

too funny-$4600!... for a ruckus! (Replace "r" with "F", it makes sense)

 

[Spyder]

Good to hear it comes with a gas cap.

And a dipstick. That's worthy of noting in the "extras" list...

 

[JayWB]

Not to mention "TIRES", and a "FRONT HUB" to hold one of them on.

Ad of the week. Gotta appreciate the "inspired" copywriting; I think i've learned a thing or two.

[h=2]Suzuki 1000cc - $3500 [/h]

Whats up ladies & gentleman what we have here is a 1998 Suzuki blow your head back 1000cc for those who are new to the bike scene 1000 does not mean $ so dont ask if thats the price its how big the engine is which equals to BADASS !!! If your lonely guy this will give you company w/out all the nagging. If your a guy looking for a girlfriend sportbikes are chick magnetics. If your a guy looking to get laid this will line them up for you BUT its not guarantee that you will get some thats based on your attitude. For chicks it works the same way but even better ain't nothing like seeing a sexy female handling a beast, all the guys can do is watch you zoom by w/their jaws dropped & drooling. Sportbikes do to the females butt as high heels do to the calves just in a seated down position !!! The Suzuki has twin yosh exhaust which is loud as hell, never been dropped a hell of a gas saver in which if you fill up your car or truck it could be between $20-$50 but w/the bike its bout $8 for full tank can't beat that !! Its my cousins bike he gots to many vehicles & another bike as of right now so trying make somebody's wish into a reality, he's busy w/work reason why im helping out if any questions give me holler & ill try get back to you ASAP !! If interested we are located in Austin Texas the price is firm w/cash only.

Sounds like the pilot Quagmire on Family Guy wrote that ad. Must be a lot of kids named Gixxer in the wake of that bikes travels.

"Suzuki blow your head back 1000cc"

I like the blow your head back 1100 better.

He doesn't say if the panty-dropper is stock or after market.
