RE: My buddy got scammed...

Wow, I just responded to an ad in Craigslist about, ...please don't judge.....a Honda CBR......
....I know, I know but It was a good price and I'm looking for a cheap sportbike.&nbsp\\; The response I got was VERY, VERY similar to the one the Rugar got.&nbsp\\; Glad I saw it, think its time to grill the "seller" and see whats up.&nbsp\\; Of course I only respond to ads within driving range, I'll never buy sight unseen.&nbsp\\; I trust no one.

RE: My buddy got scammed...

I answered to the same one about the divorced woman 2 months ago. Exact same wording execpt for a 2003 fatboy with 8500 miles."She" was in Craigslist in Columbia,SC. After I told her I was ready to bring cash and look at the bike the bike was suddenly in Dallas,Tx. I told her I can't buy it if I cant' see it. No response to this day. I looked up the bogus name and called the phone #. The lady that answered was 90 years old and darn near deaf. She didn't have a clue about no motorcycle.

RE: My buddy got scammed...

I agree to about a 90% rate on the "if it's too good to be true" statement. The other 10% I have seen as OMG, it IS true. It don't happen very often, but when it does, man does it feel good!
&nbsp\\;
In this instance though, it is toooooo gooooood toooooo be true!

RE: My buddy got scammed...

You guys seem like the un-scammer bunch. Know where I can find a decent bike for around 6k? It ain't gotta be a Harley,&nbsp\\;just a decent cruiser for back and forth to work (80 mpd) and maybe a few jaunts in the hills around here in Arkansas.

RE: My buddy got scammed...

Yep, been to both. Don't really care for the shaft drive of the zookies and not really fond of non liquid cooled yamis. If I go with a non HD, I will probly go with the wings company. They have liquid cooled on the midsize cruiser. Really hope I can find a semi decent HD for around that figure. A little more wouldn't be too bad.
