Yes, I sure did, and I just asked them to remove it! Now I'm sure to be stalked for my online buying skills!

I also had line breaks to make it easier to read.

Good idea to reuse an existing mechanism rather than reinvent the wheel

Couldn't be happier with the bike I bought there, either. It was near immaculate and serviced properly. When I brought it to my local Kawi dealer for a jet kit, I had them do a looksee. They said it was in excellent mechanical condition. And I paid about $1000 less than the most of the dealers were asking for it. (And I got a Muzzy titanium can, too.)



The key is to try to read the tea leaves, examine pictures closely and ask plenty of questions if you have any doubts about the honesty of the seller.



That being said you're still taking a chance when you can't see the bike in person. You are protected to a large degree by ebay now, but it's still a risk. A risk I'm glad I took.

Thanks for your support

"Keep Large Chicago Based Aircraft Co" Thanks for your support .$Billions for a couple of thousand jobs that remain here is quite a deal for the company. The rest of production and engineering jobs are being offshored to India, Japan, Italy, and South Korea. Not only is it the U.S. largest exporter of airplanes but now its the largest exporter of jobs.

Lots of good ideas here. One of the best is to ask to pick the bike (or item) up in person. Scammers will almost always have some screwball reason why you can't. Then just walk away....

What are you wearing?

What are you wearing?

 

[Buzglyd]

Um, Yes I did

Apparently you didn't notice that I noticed that you were poking fun at the scammer as well.

Did you notice the guy who replied to my post made a crack about a Rode Worrier? Apparently he knew I was goofing off.

Perhaps you were too caught up in your "all-knowing, all-seeing squidliness" to infer that.

Re: Dear Knucklehead

Perhaps you were too caught up in your Harley Davidson-induced inferiority complex to deduce that I was poking fun at a scammer's dead-giveaway spelling error and not your beloved all-knowing, all-seeing "Motor Company."

(See my above post for my experiences with the vaunted V-Rod.)

ROTFLMAOPIMP!

Re: Um, Yes I did

Hmm, apparently your razor-sharp wit didn't translate well into the post.

Actually, I thought the guy who replied to your post was goofing on you!

Oh well, never mind. Just having fun.

And don't call me squidly again or I'll have beat you with an Ironhead!

(God, I love this.)

 

[pdad13]

Yeah...keep talking.

Dear Panhead

I've ridden one too.

Re: Thanks for your support

Sending work to Italy and Japan sure ain't cheaper than US labor, there might be another reason than the outsourcing boogieman. Not least of which that Seattle sucks.

That senility is setting in on you, I can see. It'a a liability of your advanced age. Better see a doctor before you begin boarding on the SS Mental Instability.

 

[seruzawa]

Those Muzzy's are about a G themeselves right? That is a good deal.

Re: Um, Yes I did

With respect to my reply: Bingo. I knew you knew that, but I couldn't let the dingleberry hang.

 

[Buzglyd]

Hey!

I don't look a day over 39!

Re: Um, Yes I did

Yes, and I thought the Rode Worrier was rather clever.
