Can't say it wasn't a fun thread.
You never see a motorcycle parked outside of a psychiatrist's office!

The saga continues........................

It is worth exactly what the highest bidder is willing to pay and not a cent more, it seems to me, 1.)she don't really need the money and its not eating anything sitting in the shed, 2.) she is attached to it for what ever reason or, 3.) she is just greedy, at any rate I don't think she will be happy with the out come.

Where did it come from????

She is a woman whose husband was given the motorcycle.

Never saw the ad, was not posted here.

Apparently the bike came from Italy, her husband was stationed there.

Read the thread, it's a classic and hilarious at times.  I plan to make an offer.

Is she really a he?

Therefore is she/he getting a rise out of this?

Therefore if you found out this is indeed a prank; would you open hand slap the person?

Yes, I am thinking this might be in the 18K-20K range, but don't quote me or disparage me- I am just a humble servant of the great flying spaghetti monster.

Or treefitty if you happen to have it on hand.  :)

Ha! You saved a pic of it??
No, but it has been picked up in NC and is slowly headed west.  Thinking this is one of those bikes that looks better in pics and it looks pretty rough!! Oh well....
