Default Need a good laughter?

I know the economy is bad. But that bad? How do you think are his chances to get a ride?

You never know. He might get an older one or a "fixer upper". Worth a shot.

Smart move. My friend just picked up a 2001 Dyna that was laid over - minor damaged to tank, turn signals, and primary cover - for $%k cash. The bike only has 2800, yes that is right, miles on it. You never know what is our there and who might be willing to sell.

It's a free shot, never know what might happen. Someone on my local Craiglist put up a similar post looking for a Sporty for $1200.

No, that was the percent symbol. Meant to say, 5K but aparently was "shifting" at the time. I really should type on my computer while riding my bike

The guy has nothing to lose and he just might get a hit on his offer. It may not be exactly what he is looking for but it could still be a real good deal on something close. How many people miss great opportunities because they assume “Well that may not work, so I am not even going to try.”
