It's your punishment for not offering it to friends before putting on CL. Now I'm going to go back to kicking cats and pouting.

Sorry. Want it?

Looks like a fun process...

Cut out a lot of bullshit tire kickers from the get go with a few simple things in the ad. You still get the occasional bullshit scam mail. Just ignore it, it's part of the process...so, live with it.

1. Never put your phone number out there, they'll email if interested.

2. Put no bullshit terms in your ad. Something like this:
-No trades accepted of any kind (unless you are open to that).
-No offers accepted via email.
-Bring cash equivalent to my asking price, be expected to hand it to me before you swing a leg over thr bike for a test ride.

3. Use an email address that you won't mind seeing fill up with junk mail. Get a free one from Gmail...Yahoo, let the shit mail pile up there instead of you main email address, you already get enough there. If they already have the cash with them, their temptation to buy your bike increases.

You will immediately drop 75% of the inquiries by throwing # 2 into the mix, saving their time, and most importantly, yours.

The remaining 25% will be your pool of potential buyers. More than likely, you have a bike sold after only 2 or 3 lookers.
In my experiences, most of the buyers are the first ones to come by.

Done...

Is that what you are putting in the ad for your new FZ1? I haven't seen it in the Stuff For Sale forum yet.

Need to sort the carbs out and get it running properly before I do that.

quick legal tip? No test ride without a valid license with an M endorsement (CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE LICENSE AND THE ENDORSEMENT).

They ride it, they wreck it, they get hurt..... uh oh! Worse yet, even if you're insured you may be denied coverage due to an unlicensed rider. You bike is befuckered and some ambulance chaser will be serving you with papers that will ruin your life. Just say'n

And keep in mind some states (Florida for example) will issue a license with an "M" certification on the front, but on the back of the license are any applicable restrictions such as "corrected lenses, must be accompanied by licensed motorcycle rider" and so forth. Look the entire thing over carefully.

Good luck

So, that all changes with a licensed rider? No issues? I could see it being an issue all the way around.

indeed, it could be an issue, but likely an insured one. So, insurance company pics up the tab. Absent a license, yours/customers insurance may deny coverage, placing the legal fees, costs and potential pay out squarely on your shoulders.

Good to know...thanks. Motivation to keep a bike for awhile.

Sorry for 50 questions. On occasion, I've swapped bikes with other riders here. Good or a bad thing?
