Okay then. So much for enticing ads. It's not a Harley either.

I would think a raped ape would walk funny, so running should be worse.

Yeah, but does it come with the "get back whip"?

The RevTech engine would kill it for me.

I guess no flowers for the ape?

What do you mean it's not a Harley? I guess I am missing the joke...He is going to get close to what he is asking. Looks to be a relatively clean bike. I am not a Revtech fan but someone will probably pay it...

Unfortunately the joke is that the ad is no joke. Guy advertises it as a Harley, which you soon find out later is not. He eliminates a enormous group of buyers who don't care to pay $10K for a bike which has evidently been ridden "like a raped ape". One photo at a distance, as well. I wouldn't give him $3K. Good lesson on how not to advertise.

Not sure why anyone would use the word 'raped' in a sentence if it wasn't necessary.
