Craigslist Bike...

[Mike K]

My 73 year old dad wants to buy this because he's fucking rad. Is it any good? Picture sucks obviously but is the bike itself nice? I know absolutely nothing about Harleys.

Seems too low, possible scam?

Already talked to the guy on the phone. He seems legit and he's not trying to get me to wire him money. He says he has a clean title too. My dad green lighted it so it looks like I'm buying a bike tomorrow either way.

So, did he buy it? Was it legit?

 

[Mike K]

It was real. I was on my way out to go meet the guy when he called me, said that his neighbor saw it and gave him 4 grand on the spot. In other words, he sold it and was afraid to tell me he sold it out from under me so he made up a story.

And it's all for the best. I love my dad to pieces but he's impulsive. The last bike he owned he put probably 50 miles on in a year but I'll be damned if he didn't start it every time I stopped by just to show me how it starts on the first try every time! I love you dad.

Everything happens for a reason. That happened because you we're not suppose to buy the bike for some unknown reason.
