Default Best craigslist ad ever!

Here is the direct link for a craigslist want ad: http://lincoln.craigslist.org/mcy/661245396.html


If this ad listing goes down, here is the copied text:


(This is really funny!)

Truck or other stuff for motorcycle


I have a 1986 4WD long bed Dodge with power windows, locks and AC (currently not working, hasn't had freon in a while)

It runs, drives, 4wd works, and has really decent mud/snow tires on it.

Would make a good work truck/hunting truck/firewood hauler/trail rig.... you name it.

It's no sexy, but it's cool in its own right.

The bed floor's pretty bad, but I've solved that with a mat and a drop-in liner.

I'm not sure where the tailgate is right now, so for the sake of this ad, consider it missing. I was considering putting a flatbed on it, anyway.

It's got a 318 in it, but probably needs a tune-up, a la wires and plugs and cap/rotor, etc.

Like I said. Not sexy, but it runs and drives fine. Good brakes, good transmission. I'll leave in the Pioneer CD player that's been used something like 10 times, if the deal feels good.

I also have a couple-year-old Dell desktop computer and a year-old Dell notebook that I can use to sweeten the deal, if it merits. Both machines have brand spankin' new XP and Office 2007 installations on them, are fully updated w/Microsoft, and have antivirus and anti-spam software installed and fully updated. They run like a scalded dog.

Or, if you or your kids/grandkids need or want same video game goodies, I've got a Sega Dreamcast with a couple games, and a Sega Saturn with a handful of games. I've run out of room in my entertainment center for these items, or I'd still be using them because they both still work great.



Let me know what you have. I'd love to discuss.

What I'm looking for in a bike:
1. Nothing too custom - "custom" usually means personalized.
2. Not really looking at Japanese sport stuff, but a 250 Ninja wouldn't be too bad.
3. I'd like a cruiser/standard, but not some 800-lb fully dressed road bike.
4. Nothing that needs work - I don't want something that needs fork seals, carb(s) rebuilt, electrical problems.... you get the idea
5. Must be a 2-up bike.
6. 500cc or bigger, unless it's a 250 Ninja, or maybe a 2-stroke dual sport, or whatever. I want to be able to keep up with traffic on the interstate with a passenger on it.

Some models I'd love:
Buell XB9S
Buell XB12S
(only want American sport, and no R models, please. I don't like the fairing)
Buell Blast
Honda PC800
Honda Shadow
Suzuki Boulevard C50/M50/S50
Suzuki SV650
Honda CB750 (Nighthawk)
Honda Magna
Star V Star Classic or Custom

Would consider scooters, if they're 250cc or more.

I'd go with this one, although it's a sale ad:

This is good too:
