Not so much choice as dumb-luck: I check out listings on craigslist (within 100 miles) every day just to see what’s up. This popped up, emailed immediately (even before researching the bike!), guess I was first person who sounded serious, traded some emails, a few days later rented a U-Haul cargo van, drove 125 miles…

Nice picks. I just got a (and can’t stop bragging about it) MV Agusta, too—2007 F4 1000 Senna. Although my other bike is just fine, a 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750, I’d absolutely love to have the bright yellow 1976 (7?) Honda 400-4 Supersport that my late friend owned many many years ago. I spent a week riding that Honda…

Counterpoint: Domino’s “pizza” (yes, in quotation marks) sucks at any price.

Passive-aggressive much?

Apparently you are a Zen master...

Oh, oops, sorry! I was looking at the wrong photo. You, sir/ma’am/other, are correct.

Not on either of my monitors, it’s purple, lavender at worst.

Exactly my thought.

A good reason not to let you sell MY stuff. Facebook may prompt that but it means idiots use it even after they supposedly read my ad. And because I actually want to sell the stuff I’ve advertised, that I’m forced to, correct, say “yes” in response or ignore (or piss-off) a possible, real buyer.

You don’t need receipts to file a claim! I can recall to CRT monitors and 30"+ TV. That’s a possible $30. Don’t want to file? PLEASE DON’T! Maybe I’ll $30.01!

Well that was easy!

Sorry, my 38 years of experience, including as a dealer and journalist, say your wrong. They don’t.

So much this. Grrrr.

Oh, good GOD! I put this in all my ads for EVERYTHING and get so many of these dumbshit replies! Mostly from Facebook Marketplace, less from craigslist. A pox on their houses!

“Asking price, it’s really worth it.” (i.e. “I know what I got!”). I price “aggressively reasonably” and don’t negotiate down very much at all. Then again, I’ve never sold anything worth more than about $5,000.

This is good advice (as usual), Tom.

You think a new rider has a clue what those are? And they don’t protect things like mirrors and turn signals. I’m talking “drops” at a stop or while rolling the bike around (maybe in or out of the garage, or at a gas station), not crashes.

Apparently Maryland sucks balls, too...

As a long time rider and former magazine journalist, I applaud your thorough list.

Seems like they live “a lot of conflict.”
