    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.

^^^I like the fact that they put the headlight covers on before they gave up on it. Nice piece of '70s culture right there.
 
"Hot Rod" motorcycle, anyone?

This is a super phishy ad. I replied by email and got this reply.



Hello and thank you for your email. I'm Rebecca, glad to see you are interested in my 2016 Triumph Tiger 800 XR ! The bike drives excellent and is without any mechanical issues. The exterior is very clean and free from sun damage. The siding and the paint still shine like new. The truth is that my husband died two months ago - he had a stroke while he was gardening in the backyard. Determined to start a new life, I sold the house and moved to my mom's in Iowa.I advertised it on other states also, to get more exposure and sell it faster. If you have any questions or need any info or photos please ask.

Thank you

Super phishy??? I don't see the problem?

Too much personal info, and the description of the bike is lacking. Exterior? Siding?
Who describes a bike this way?
 
Yes, Big T my thoughts exactly.

Also, with a low retail of $6400 give or take, listing it in multiple states is not necessary. Heck, one hour at that price in any state and it's gone!

I basically got the same reply when I was interested in a ZXR-1200. The lady said the motorcycle was in Indiana but she was New York. Said something like I could buy it through E-Bay. It was some type of scam.

A clueless woman? Mentioning personal problems is gauche, so is using religious language during business transactions.

$2000 for that bike with only 4500 miles on it can only be a scam. Besides that, the wording in the ad screams hoax.
I would only buy that bike if four conditions are met. The bike, the title in the owner's/sellers name, and the seller and buyer can all be in the same place at the same time for the transaction.
 
You guys are getting old... Are you kidding me?!? I want it, that thing looks like an EVIL fun project. I wouldn't pay that much for it, But I now have a fun idea for the engine in my garage, lol...
