Scam-a-rama. It's always the same; guy is about to be deployed to the Middle East;almost like you'll be doing your patriotic duty buying the bike from him. Bike is always in some far-away storage waiting to be shipped. And the price--3,000 pounds is around 5 large--that sled could fetch WAY more than that. Even more if it had the original front brakes & speedo. That pic was definitely taken in England; you can tell by the architecture;however the ads on the wall look photoshopped. And you'all are right--that is one SAW-EET sled!

happens with cars all the time too. Ask him for his phone #, he won't give it to you. Will say something like he is in training and he doesnt have acess to a phone and the best way to contact is through email, bullshit. The DoD will not pay to ship a vehicle unless you are PCSing, so he is full of **** there too.
Got emails from the PAO and Judge Advocate this morning they are working on it . I sent them the info on the ad and the second email I received, let's see if we can play this guy and catch him? Worth a try

Would be good news if they could catch the guy, even better if they sent the boys around to convince him of the error of his ways!
I'd be pleased to help if they would like me to play along as well?

Is that even possible? I thought that because of their overseas locations, these guys were virtually un-prosecutable??
