The Craigslist post:

$700 OBO. I know of a few bike shipping companies, so I can help there if needed. Offer me anything and I'll consider it. . .
I'm still trying to get it working, but its really ticking me off. I'll be honest with you lot, I think the hand controls need work as well as the starter relay.

Too bad!  Maybe you can save up a few bucks and get one that is in better mechanical shape.

My thoughts too.  :sad:

I'm all for learning and working hard on a project... never give up, all that. BUT when it becomes too infuriating... and simply just isn't even the smallest bit fun anymore, it's time to move on.

There are enough things in life that are unavoidable that stress us out... many things in day-to-day life that are hard and irritating, etc. A motorcycle, car, video game, book or any other hobby should never be an unbearable burden. They are supposed to bring joy and a feeling of satisfaction or accomplishment... not wrench-throwing frustration and hopelessness.

Good luck with the sale Daeouse and also with any future purchases! You'll get your fists in the wind someday I know it... without all the struggle.  :cheers:

Just maintaining a motorcycle and get expensive time consuming.

You were really starting from a deficit here, no shame in knowing your own limits.   I like your style and I'm sure whatever you end up with is going to look cool.

Yeah, I thought I could handle getting everything at least running, but this bike simply refuses to cooperate. :technical:
I've done a lot for it so far, and its a lot better than it was. . . but thanks for the kind words.

I hope I hear something soon, as I really need the money to get something else soon. . . :sad:

If I were closer to you I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Saw all the work you did in the project thread and love the way it turned out. Good luck

Thanks, guys. I've got nothing but text-punters from the Craigslist posting so far, not a single human has showed up to look at it yet. . .
