Probably the most common one:

"Ran when parked."

Hasn't been sitting up long at all.

Just bought a motor from a 72 CB500.

Seller, "Well is ran when it was in the bike."
Me, "When was that?"
Seller, "I don't know."

Battery should charge up, just put it in in the spring. (of 2005)

dhall57 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2010, 08:38:05 PM »

Those 35 year old tires still have plenty of tread on them.

SOHC Digger · « **Reply #13 on:** November 23, 2010, 08:39:24 PM »

I also love the pusher line:

I've gotten a lot of other calls on this and there's three more guys who wanna buy it if you don't take it!

Don R · « **Reply #14 on:** November 23, 2010, 08:40:22 PM »

Not a word, but a smirk on his face as he turned away! He did not tell all, the exhaust was plugged and it had a stuck valve. Would not start. A 750 K0 with Lesters and a jardine header with an 812 kit. Yep he got me all right!

GRH_AV8R · « **Reply #15 on:** November 23, 2010, 08:48:53 PM »

or how about "yup no problem she'll run.....with a few cans of quick start"

swellguy · « **Reply #16 on:** November 23, 2010, 08:53:18 PM »

"OK, I've got this end."

benjamin550 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 23, 2010, 10:03:34 PM »

not exactly the last words but on the phone he told me, "yeah, you could drive it home," before i drove 2 hours to pick it up.

It had a stuck front brake, bent handlebars, bad fuel lines, bad carb boots and wouldn't start, no turn signals, bad tires, too much oil and the list went on. My dumb ass bought it anyway for 350.00. And now it runs!!

I bought a bike from a guy in Arizona with a New York title while I was living in Illinois. I thought this would defenitely not fly. Title came in the mail a few weeks later. Sometimes you get surprised!

"I won't take a penny less than $850.-"
Two weeks later he was happy taking $200.-

This bike is still factory all original except for- the bars, pipes, seat, carbs, and paint color. How many times have we heard this story?

zzpete · « **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2010, 06:15:09 AM »

It will run if you "JUMP" it.

I purchased mine here in MS from a guy that had it registered in Indiana. No problems.
