and i whould like to repeat my earlier YOINK on the tail

I got an email back from him, but he didn't answer my questions ("why are you selling a tank with a gas cap and no key, etc").

He hasn't emailed back... smells fishy.

I saw that too. Stolen? Why part out a new bike that has no damage?

Dear m.e.g,

You asked:

"Hi, I'm wondering why you have these GS500F parts, was the bike in a crash? Are you parting out the rest of it? Thanks! Meg"

Purchased the parts from a friend. Ben

Thank you,
aboutben

Suuuuuuuuure he did.... maybe by "purchase" he means "stole" and "friend" means "some guy who left his bike out".

or maybe he did buy them from a friend............... who stole the bike

I emailed him a few days ago,  I asked him what the vin was of the bike they came off of,    his response;

Sorry, but I can't do that because it was a lot purchased not just
parts off an individual motorcycle. I have never had a problem in the past
with the parts that I've sold on ebay.

Thanks

if it doesn't have a vin....kinda hard to prove it IS stolen.....

yall are some trusting mofo's
if a man gives you 6000 cash in a shopping bag for your bike you going to take it?





he might be a waiter and saved his tips..... not a crack dealer....think about it.....

I wonder if he has a key to the tail section. He didn't mention that.

 -Anti

Doesn't have the key to the tank, why would he have one for the tail?

of course it is stolen...why else all the convenient answers  :dunno:

Maybe somebody in Norfolk can drop the address to the local police station?

I'd stop bragging about that. Somebody might take offense.

I live in norfolk/va. beach.  I'll have to check out this place.

new question.....
what percentage of stuff on ebay is stolen...??

10%
25%

Valid point.

What about the ones who wreck their bikes, turn them in on insurance as stolen then part them out on ebay. The bike still classified as "stolen".

I'll admit that it all sounds pretty shady.  But in light of another currently active message thread, aren't we being a bit premature in calling the guy a thief?  Has anyone been burned by him yet?  Is there NO other explanation for the facts?  Is it OK to call him a thief if he isn't a GStwin.com member?

I'm not saying I'd buy from him - I probably wouldn't.  But I think it would be an interesting exercise to compare the rhetoric from these 2 threads.

kinda my point Kerry..

first of all thnx for posting davipu:)  we'll all watch out:)

second of all, if you buy a stolen bike, can you still register and get a plate for the bike? jest wondering :dunno:
