sounds good mike we will have to go for a ride sometime. I think you can do better that that soft tail though i just saw a 2010 fatboy on there for 12,500 with just a real quick search.http://fresno.craigslist.org/mcy/4595769600.html

From his Ad:
This motorcycle with its options is valued by Kelly Blue Book at $12,000.00 I am willing to listen to/take reasonable offers. Cash or cashiers check only.
I think he would take a lot less than $12K.

In May of this year, I picked up a 2012 Road King for $13,000 U.S. with comparable mileage to your listing. It was in immaculate shape with a few extra goodies as well. You should be able to do much better/newer for $12k.

I went and looked at it. I ended up walking away. The most I was willing to consider before seeing it was $10K. It was absolutely beautiful, but it wasn't "singin' to me."
I didn't want to insult the guy by low balling him, so that was it.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Chip, I'm riding up the shaver lake in the morning, going up through Auberry and meadow lakes. About 8am. Wanna go? Short notice, I know.

Now, I LOVE my Sportster. Absolutely love it.
But not long after reading his story, I'm dinkin' around looking at craigslist. Up pops a really REALLY nice 2005 softail, 13,600 miles, 88 inches, lots of extras, blue & white. I kid you not, just around the corner from my house. I could probably put a golf ball in the guy's front yard with a driver and a seven iron.
He's asking $12K, cash only.

Dammit. NOW what do I do?

When one does sing to you, you'll know it. Believe me, you will. . .
