Saw this on my local CL yesterday:

"This is a glass bobber from around the 1950's. It is wrapped in some sort of rope. It weighs at least 30pounds. I do not know much about it so please make me an offer. You can contact me at 8163598381."



...now THAT'S a vintage bobber.

We all have questions that sometimes the search function does not help us with, but 90% of the time search will help you out. The one that freaks me out is-What bike should I get? I have never been in a bike before. New riders freak me out as I have rode with alot of bad one's.
not only that, but in the short time I've been on this forum, I've noticed that half the questions asked here are answered by flipping through the owners manual

Hell this sounds like half the HD riders around me, Most of the sport bike guys gear up or at least have a helmet and jeans on. I seen a chick on a sporty not too long ago that had a helmet mohawk on her half helmet, i just looked and her and shook my head.
