Handle the bike with latex gloves until it's been steam cleaned at least two times, and it should be ok. For $75, it's a good deal. for $750 (misprint?) it's still a good deal. And you would only be exposed to the PO for a SHORT period of time!

The price, not the morals, or the sores!! It is now $2,300 for the privaledge and I had to wash up before I would touch the keyboard after reading that!
I think I want to move out of state now!!!

The scary part is, SOMEONE will end up buying that thing! Maybe not for the asking price, but eventually, somehow, it will end up in someone else's driveway!

Looks like a gimmick to me,kind of like the guy that advertised the manly bike.
Although this is on the other end of the spectrum.
One thing is for sure he knows how to get attention.
Kind of funny,funny weird and funny ha ha.
Seems to me the seller is "putting on airs to be interesting" and that his claim to have contracted a social disease is a mere ploy to attract attention to his advertisement. And anyway a person with a sore arse (from whatever cause)
don't move his footpegs forward, he moves them back so he can more easily ride standing on the pegs.

Hi DGXSER,
FYI, while old age has diminished my thunderpole into a mere squib, my waste vent is still in fine shape. It's that these days my mighty buttocks have lost their resilience.
But my knowledge of the proper place for footpegs was learned in my youth when all but those rare individuals who could afford a new bike had to ride a 1940's or older rigid frame machine.
