Craig's Thread

These pop up all the time. Why not stick them all in the same place??
- I'm talking about individual threads linking to CL finds.

Maybe some guidelines.
1. Location, location, location.
2. Make, model + price.
*3* I really would appreciate linking to hysterical CL posts. I don't think anything makes me laugh more than when someone can't spell ["helmut" gets me every time

], or thinks their yamaha xj650 is worth $3500 and tells you why.

This one looks legit.

I saw an ad the other day where a hispanic gentleman (or so I assumed from some of the phonetic misspelling) claimed that he had a nice running sv650 with an oil lake.....

This could devolve into a more amusing thread about fugly bikes/goofy Craigslist Ads-

Look what some dipstick (or his "professional" painter) has done to a CB750-

Here's one to make you cry, from CL Charlotte:

This is a 95 Ducati 900 ss that has ben totally redone from the frame up, you will never see another bike like this Custom paint, Custom frame work, brand new tires, built motor, custom seat, Custom forward controls. This thing gets noticed. Very loud and extremely fast. No joyrides serious people only. Priced for quick sale Ill let the pictures speak for themselves, Bike is also featured on: DUCCUTTERS.COM Test Ride Available

notarex · 02-09-2009, 05:10 PM

Those last two are some of the worst looking bikes I've ever seen. They should be ashamed of themselves

Bloodweiser · 02-09-2009, 05:49 PM

This is going to be my new favorite thread.

I went to duccutters.com and in reference to that bike shown, they said " If THE DEVIL RODE A BIKE, this would be his weapon of choice."

DOUCHE BAG!

We already have such threads in the Central forum, one for serious ads and one for "finds indicating lunacy".

excellent idea probably gonna be amusing too

Wirespokes · 02-10-2009, 12:56 PM

I'd suggest copying and pasting the ad into the message since a link is good for only so long with CL. Anyone reading this thread a month later will find only dead links and will miss the object of the joke. Or whatever...

agreed. But I'm guessing CL will stop hosting the pics once the ad is gone so all we'll see is an 'x'. Time will tell....
