Never dropped. Hmm, how the hell did pic#3 happen then?
I hate CL.

 

I have seen scrapes like that resulting from something in the truck/van/trailer rubbing against it.

 

CBR600

Here is a local one, http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/2939756167.htmlLike the following in the ad: "This motorcycle is really fast and powerful, (more power than a stock 1300cc bike and only weighs 242lbs), therefore no joy rides will be allowed unless cash is in hand."

that statement says a lot... Must be a low cornering bitch with those numbers.

 

Ads like that one make me wish I was smart enough to spoof a CycleWorld email address and email the seller saying how amazed CW is that he could get the bike down that light and that powerfull and that we wanted to schedule a photo shoot and interview to get that amazing bike in the magazine

 

"Depending on our conversion, I might have some wiggle room on that price, but not too much!"

IDK about him, but I was born into a Protestant family, so no conversion for me, thankyouverymuch.

 

I'll give you that one. Most CL ads around here that say "never dropped" mean "never threw it out of the back of a van at highway speeds then it got run over by a garbage truck".

 

From Chicago Missed Connections:

Did we hook up at the Megadeth/Motorhead concert? - w4m - 28 (Aragon Ballroom)

The actual ad is down, but:

"Me: Blue hair, silver tube top, fishnets, Knee high black biker boots.
You: Red mohawk, black pentagram gauges, viper piercings.

I was grinding on you in the pit, then we went to the bathroom, and got f***ed up. You had a nice c**k and I was wasted so I let [you] raw dog it in the stall.You were really good and you had to gag me so I would make too much noise.

Anyway I'm pregnant. It's yours. contact me if you want to be part of your child's life."

 

Someone needs to save this for the child. Nothing like Mom admiring some c**k and letting Dad "raw dog it in the stall" at a Megadeth/Motorhead concert!

 

LMaO!

 

I'm not entirely sure this qualifies as a "fail" but it is funny as hell

What if I'm interested in the joins? Also. Do I get to see the finished product? Is show him any updates I made to the bike. Maybe we could swap.for an afternoon.

 

Seriously? Did you not look at the 3rd picture?

 

I didn't look at any of them. I guess its to late to stop my email now.
