Yes sir... been reported to the moderators.

Also: I checked his local advertisements, including Craigslist. This bike is nowhere to be found. Just reinforces the scam factor.

better yet, tell him a friend of yours lives 10 miles away, and is going to come over and see the bike.

I've been screwed, as have many on here. What one guy considers "mint" is complete garbage to another.

Buyer beware.

He was insistent the bike was perfect and that I should see it in person. I guess me going to buy it wasn't good enough for him.

I was able to find him thanks to the WWW....but I have no idea what his character is. I just couldn't be so persistent as to paying for it in full in every angle. I had no intention of taking his bike, I was willing to invest my money to see it in person and to buy it when I got there. Him offering to bring it to me was a solid deal if he was willing to trust me to pay in full upon his arrival. I would have been $500-$1000 out of pocket that way too.... but not Thousands and thousands.

LOL! I was trying to locate a friend of mine I have thats back there to do a visual on the bike... not gonna bother now.

I am a firm believer in KARMA, so I will leave it at that. LMAO!

Just remember: BUYER BEWARE! If it seems wrong, it is...

Now did you do the cams on the 96ci? I have every intention to do this to my SG at some point... Just wished I had that rear fender arrangement on mine. Maybe I will go that route instead of shopping for another bike to ad to the garage.
