« on: July 18, 2010, 08:49:32 AM »

ahdammit man.

sorry to hear that. Wish I could say I keep my eyes peeled, But that aint gonna help you squat. Know a 80 something 500t around here for 75? ran when parked? nice little trek to hot TN.. ::)

Anyway. Good luck hunting man. And do yourself a favor. Stay away from anything that says GS in it anywhere.. :)

that suks hotwire!
had it happen to me on a $275 750K6.
agreed on a price and i was needing to come back in the AM with a truck...called the guy on the way.  said he'd sold it a few hrs after i left. FRACK!
shoulda partially paid him and taken the carbs/tank, etc.  ;)
I wont go look at a bike w/o cash and a truck from now on.

keep lookin!  :)

Yep, whoever shows up first with cash gets it.
That just means it wasn't meant to be. Something better will come up.
