Ebay lever, "PART IS USED. IS BENT, WILL WORK GREAT. "
« on: March 26, 2012, 09:58:04 AM »
Ran across this in a thread... 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400230121507?item=400230121507&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr

I decided to email the seller a question...   "Are you serious?"

Here is the response...

Dear chevyss58,

Are you serious?

- norx7pistons  ....

Dear norx7pistons,

No, we are not serious. Price has dropped and shipping is now free.
Bob

- chevyss58

Apparently 7.99 and free shipping is a good deal for a paperweight these days...

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Drink fast, drive slow, but ride it like you stole it

ha! I contacted the seller too and wrote "April Fools Day isn't for another week or so" and got "Thanks for letting us know. The price has dropped and shipping is now free.
Bob"

YES! I knew I saw it somewhere here.   Good find cycle ranger.   I just sent him another message "I didn't know paperweights were a hot commodity this season, what with the poor economic status of the world and all...."

I like it, would add a "custom" look, but only if both were bent to match. Could be the next pipe-wrap-over-crap-pipes trend.

People bend them like that for cheap, legal shorty levers.
