        Sort of sounds like a Honda that takes three acres to turn around...

        The bike would be a bunch cheaper to maintain than the lady.

          I love the fact that he included the last two shots to show that there really was just a bike for sale, but for that price I'd want a 10 year lease on the whole package At least one of them might last that long...

              Yea.....but she would make a lot of noise when you got tired of her and parked out behind the garage.

              I think restoration would be nearly impossible after that.

                    Ya know…

                    First is the “inspiration” in your mind of what a bad to the bone idea you get
                    of a “super cool motorcicle”
                    You spend some real bucks on questionable parts
                    Then spend days which turn into weeks then months on it
                    A little disillusionment sets in that it may never get done
                    And finally get it to the point that it can sorta be ridden
                    You go for a short ride and discover what a POS it turned out to be
                    So now you try to sell it knowing that even if it had a hardly motor it wouldn’t be worth squat
                    So you hype it up, posed with what you think is a hottie on it and it’s on craigslist
                    Crossed fingers hoping that WC Fields knew what he was talking about when he said:
                    “There’s one born every day”

                    Of course, maybe he’s only the author of an add and WC was right and he was a sucker enough to buy it for an unholy sum and just hopes that he’s not the only one out there

                    BTW, actually had a “Harley dude” tell me he wanted to buy my Merriam SF.
                    I told him I had another, same model and year that I’d let him have at a real reasonable price. He says NO I want that one. I says OK, $10,000.00…
                    I did offer him a chance to own it for free. A race from the Derby to the Florence for pinks… he walked away

                        Looks like he pulled the add off CL. That or got laughed off. Too bad.

                        I think MRO hit pretty close to the mark.

                          He re-posted it for $6,000..... maybe if they keep laughing he will eventually get to a more reasonable price...

                          I posted the link up a couple posts but here is the new one again.

                              The flat black is nice in that it will hide almost anything in a photo.
