I saw that too. Less than 900 miles and already selling to move up? Settle down there, turbo.

You guys are SO quick to judge!

WE'RE quick to judge? I'd say 900 miles is a little quick to decide you don't like a bike, wouldn't you?


Dave

Perhaps they had a sudden expense come up? Sometimes when folks find out they're pregnant, plans and priorities change? Perhaps a sudden illness came up, and plans and priorities changed? Perhaps they discovered that riding isn't for them? Perhaps it was a gift and didn't work out (I've seen that happen!)....

There are so many reasons someone could be selling a bike with low mileage! 

It may be enough tio decide that you don't like motorbiking at all.

Ummm...what ad are you getting? This is what's showing up for me. I don't know if he changed it and I still have the old version in my cache, but he says that he's selling it specifically to get a bigger bike.

I think every body is missing the main part.....he's selling it to UPGRADE! after 900 miles.

HA! S/He must have changed it.

I thought something happened. That's what Porsche and I were laughing about. I guess we look stupid now that he changed it. Or does HE look stupid...? 

Anyways, I know about selling when you have no choice (like how I am about to), so that's not funny. Unless you're selling it to pay off money you owe to a group of homocidal clowns. Now THAT'S funny!

This is just a PERFECT example of how easily misunderstandings happen! 

it's not my fault he changed his listing!

i hate people that make me look stupid!

I wasn't sure what this was about, but I think I know now. When I said "or does HE look stupid", I was referring to the seller, not you. We live in Portland, so everyone knows we're awesome.

By the way....did you go to the huge pillow fight downtown?

No, I'm not familiar with what you're talking about. Was it packed with crazy college co-eds and sexy sorority sweethearts?

I wish...but no.
It was at pioneer courthouse square a couple months ago I think.
