he prob didnt get paid, or get what he wanted.

now that you mention it , its fishy,   know one would just put honda CB for sale.

angelodarcangelo  was the original seller and has a record of (76)

This guy has no history and using the same pics.    prob a scam.

Well somebody else on the board spotted it (in the ebay section of the forum). I know a guy in OK (now a forum member) that just emailed me the auction and wants to go see the bike. I told him it had to be a scam. Would be interesting to "go and see it".

The original ad had the bike in Marin County, CA. Somebody there could certainly afford it.

this new one has the same name with a 10 on the end, with no record of buying or selling.   Will be interesting to see who bids or how many it gets.  The origional one def looked legit.   Cant be too careful these days.

Reported it to eBay. Probably will be removed here shortly.

grew up in so cal and do not remember any motor vehicle ever having a Blue License Plate? Black yes, blue no.

Really; I'm 39 and clearly remember them. When I was young and dumb, living in Florida, it used to pissed officers off because we tried to run the CA blue plates on the front bumper of our VW's to be cool. My mother-in-law has her's from Orange County around the 70's in her basement.

Their were a lot of mind altering drugs available in the 70s.
My 72 Ford Truck has Blue CA plates
My 75 CB550F has blue CA plates.
My 74 CB550 has blue CA plates.

Same thing happened on the VW original bike that sold for $41,000 a while back.

I stand corrected must not have paid much attention back then

[tango911]

I had emailed the scammer guy asking why his pics were the same as the ones that just sold for 25k??   I got this later from ebay after they took the guys account.  Looks like ebay was all over it after the initial complaint.
