Hmmm, thinking maybe I didn't pay enough for my parts bike, and $750 too little for my rider.....

 haven't been in santa fe for a LONG while, maybe that's current going rate?

 :o wow....I must have it!  *smirk* take it to an art show and it'd probably sell for several times that as "a piece of art, an expression of the terrible state of the human condition" or other such drivel.

Is it just me, or does it look like the bike was hit from the right side and the rear wheel partially dislodged (or seriously bent)?

TLC stands for Total Lost Cause?   It sure isn't a '75, and the rear axle is missing, [look close].  It's in the "humor" section and it's really not funny. sad really.

I think the rider was totally bent in the same accident. That's the only explanation for that absurd asking price.

Hmmm....the old 'head injury theory', eh?  That could explain it.

Maybe he accidentally added an extra zero, in that case it might not be that bad of a deal.  ;D
