Some guys here have posted a few winning lines from CL ads . . . found this one today from a guy selling a 17" knobby tire for $30

"New, Never mounted, a bit dusty from storage, great tread pattern, different size tread blocks, Larger widely spaced center blocks in + pattern with smaller alternating different size and shape tighter spaced side blocks.

Email for contact details, otherwise can be found at the following.....tire outside local Flea Market  9AM-5PM, Sat, Sun
Table 234, Aisle North side of the center posts, Section 2nd from the East end, Table numbers are on the floor , (Sometime hard to see or covered) and posted above the individual sections. Can't miss my table with a large clothes rack behind it. Not always opening my table first opening 9AM, Covered with 10 minute note might be a 1/2 hour, if grabbing a bite. otherwise outside having a smoke....
I sleep days till mid afternoon, don't turn the phone on except for expected calls."
This project started in confusion and will end in disarray.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

PO = "its all stock... except for the carb... i think"

Later after fame # and engine # comparison we found the carb was stock... for the engine that was dropped in from a 10 year older bike

"It ran so good I didn't do a compression test."  Turned out one cylinder was Zero compression.  That was what was told to a person who bought a motor off craigslist.  (not me)

PO: "I didn't know that it was seized,  It was fine last week."  As I try to kick it over right before I buy it. haha. Luckily it was cheap enough I didn't care.  Although after a teardown, It definitely sat for the better part of 20 years without plugs in it.
