shipper.i'll imploy you to wire the balance via western union money
transfer to my shipper as soon as you RECEIVE the check.My SHIPPER

sure, for you the asking price is $4,000 USD as i don't have a scanner I can't scan pics but anyone that is semi comp literate can trace the ip of the comp that they were loaded into the CL classifieds from and verify that it is the same one that I am sending this email from.  and I only have one other req. for shipping to a buyer out of state, I will sign the title over after the cashiers check clears your bank,  if paying throught paypal title will be immeadtly signed over.

my responce to his last email:
hi, I don't feel comfortable giving that kind of information out over the net especially to a free email address. do you have a official email that we can communicate through? perferably one from a ISP that can verify your idenity?  I can understand the trust issues that you have concerning your money, and whould feel safer if you could do this.  as it whould only be fair to expect the same I can be reached at davipu@netzero.net the email addy provided by my isp.

:lol:  I never get tired of hearing incompetant-criminal stories.

I get these weekly from craiglist since I put up my bike.

what's wrong with your bike? that you only want 1500 for it?

Nothings wrong, just old. Basically, I encourage people to come test ride it to see that it runs just as well as anything new.

EDIT: I've got tons of offers as well, I just need it till the end of my finals which arrives soon. I hope I can make 1500 instead of having to haggle lower.  I think I'll miss the smoothness of the inline 4  

wanna trade for a 2002 gs?















































just kidding.

No way    89 HP to 40 would be quite a drop  

that's 43hp to you. (uni drop in and supertrapp exaust)

I was dissapointed when I found out they only sold stage 3 and stage 7 jetkits for my bike. I was thinking of turboing it for a while, but I decided to leave it because the pipes sound too good to have to buy new ones.

EDIT: Else I would mod and talk about my massive gains too  :lol:

Sounds like "Nigerian419.com!"

that was my insperation

relevant resurrection of a scam thread. this was a classic. and FUN
