I have seen these around town and they look really uncomfortable but they have about 6 of them that they ride and they seem to have a good time on them to each their own.

I guess, I hate when I see low bars and stock pegs from a guy that is building a "cafe". But at the end of the day the "builder" might just be new and not know any better yet, or just not care, or what ever. But at the end of the day its their money and they can do as they like.
That changes for me when someone is claiming to be a shop and selling the products. Even more so when they want top dollar and list is like its built right. Someone can fall into that trap and get hurt...
Hell that idiots on CRTV that failed to get a stock T500 running right on TV were at Mid O this year and had a bike in the booth with a brake caliper mount made from sheet metal that had already failed.....what does that tell people?....but now I am on a soapbox and way off topic.....
 
Looks like he "sold" it for 5300. It'll be relisted next month I'm sure, once everyone has forgot about it.
 
"I REALLY DID NOT THINK THAT TERE WAS AS MANY DUMB PEOPLE IN THE ONE COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET..."

That's just so full of Fail it's hilarious.
 
Oh well, twas fun while it lasted.

WE ARE NOW AT 55
WATCHERS.....REALLY......TIME FOR ANOTHER PRICE RISE.......THANKS TO ALL OF THE
IDIOTS WHO HAVE BEEN ASKING REALLY DUMB STUPID QUESTIONS, YOU HAVE ALL BEEN
PLACED ON THE BLOCKED BIDDERS LIST AND REPORTED TO EBAY. I REALLY DID NOT
THINK THAT TERE WAS AS MANY DUMB PEOPLE IN THE ONE COUNTRY ON THIS PLANET, JUST
GOES TO SHOW YOU HOW EASY PEOPLE ARE INFLUENCED BY OTHERS, COMPLETE NON
THINKING IDIOTS.
THANKS FOR SENDING AS MANY PEOPLE TO VIEW THE ADVERT, HELPS
SELLS THINGS ON EBAY. HAD A NUMBER OF GENUINE ENQUIRIES AND A COUPLE OF
MEMBERS, WHO LIVE NEARBY, COMING OVER TO SEE THE BIKE IN THE FLESH, THANKS
AGAIN LUNATICS!!!!!!
 
Haha I love being called a lunatic, even if it is in some sort of semi-English grammatically butchered slang language.
 
I'm not a lunatic, I'm crazy and from some people I take it as a compliment ;D
 
This douche actually took the time to write me back 3 long as hell emails about how's many sales he has. What a complete tool! Awesome that everyone gave him hell. I'll keep an eye out for it to be relisted.

On eBay? Or did he find out you started it all on here?

Please post email for amusement!!
 
As you can see I was friendly for the most part in the beginning. And no I actually wasn't almost his first bidder. Just a little bullshittin never hurt anybody.

Dear scottynavarre,

I'm not a seller so of course my feedback is low. I wasn't going to watch till last minute and I was actually almost your first bidder till I discovered your rotten attitude. Thankfully I didn't. Sorry for waisting your time.

Dear rodney,

What I would suggest to you, apart from minding your own business, is look at the number of items that I have sold, and look at the number of items you have sold on Ebay. I must be doing something right, would you agree. Also look at the number of items I have purchased, then look at the number of items you have purchased....get my drift. I have sold items to lots of places overseas and this country, and you with a feedback score of 49, are trying to give someone with over 7 times the number of feedback reviews advice. Like telling your grandmother how to suck eggs, or the student trying to advise the professor. Get a life.
As I said before, I will do what I want to do with my sales, I pay the fees, it is my call, and believe me I know what I am doing. It s all a big game anyway, people, and I use the term loosely, like you on Ebay, waiting until the very last second before bidding, trying to secure a bargain. Well I will do the bidding for the watchers, by raising my starting price, if someone bids then they will not be getting it at the rock bottom prices. my starting price when raised, seperats the men from the watchers.
Being quite honest with you, Ebay will be a better trading place without watchers like you.

Dear scottynavarre,

Was just trying to let you know how it looked from a buyers perspective. Wasn't actually calling you a dick. I just said it appeared that way,but according to your response I guess it is true or just crazy. Still that being said, initially I only meant my original comment to be friendly advice and I honestly wish you good luck on finding that very nice Honda a home.

Dear rodney,

Talking about dicks, how are you getting on Richard Cranium......think about it if you have the brain capacity. Thing about it is I do NOT HAVE to sell the bike. I also have it advertised locally, where it will no doubt sell there first. I also am fortunate to have another identical 1975 Honda CB750 K5, ready to be advertised for sale.
Other thing is, look at the number of feedback ratings you have, 49. That strikes me as a seasoned campaigner....not. It is also dicks like you that spoil Ebay. Ebay is an auction site, in case you missed the point, not a wait to the last minute and have a bidding frenzy site, like you think it is. I would also like to let you know, I have barred you from bidding on any of my items, because I have a disdain for people like you.
You think it ok to sit back and wait until the last seconfs.....I1m glad I have barred you, in my opinion a total time waster.
Now I would politely suggest that you GFY!!!!!!!!!

Dear scottynavarre,

Raising the price just for people watching? I was interested until I saw you had that that on there. You are going to turn a lot of people off from bidding on this very nice bike you have. A lot of people "watch" on big items until the last day and then a bidding war starts. I think you would have more success if you didn't have that on there because it makes you look like a dick and no one will want to deal with you. Just some friendly advise, you may have better luck without that on there.
 
He doesn't have the watcher thing in there anymore though so maybe we got through to him
 
Add to watch list button is there...I am wtching this one now... :D
 
I saw he's in Florida, so I thought I might contact him to take a look at the bike, but he's a good 5 hour drive from me, so thats a big negative.
