- February 13, 2013, 14:43:05 PM49,very good info for those who are unaware of the many scams that are out there.There's various scams that involve motorcycle sales etc.What they do is take photos of an item that doesn't belong to them and post it for sale and come up with different scenarios,such as "They work on a cruise ship as a casino dealer" and so on.As buyers be very aware of this!Never send money Western Union especially.I had friend that found this out the hard way,set him back $3500 on a web site called OODLE.It's like Craigslist.Who ever made up the post was good,too because they even had the EBAY buyer protection web page and all.He showed me everything he had from this seller and it all looked legit.Long story short this fella went to the authorities and they wouldn't even help him out because it was out of state.My personal opinion they didn't want to do any leg work being it wasn't their dime......This scam is real big especially in big college towns!49 if I were you I would contact both the local law officers as well as the State Troopers....who knows maybe this is one crook they can stop before someone innocent falls victim........

- February 13, 2013, 14:06:40 PMYes, I did email him yesterday am; he emailed back, stating "it is taken care of" But it is still up there. I was emailed CONSTANTLY by this same person a couple of months ago, he was wanting to buy a set of pipes I have for sale. I told him I was keeping them for spares, in case of an accident, and did not want to part with them any more. He kept sending "weird" for lack of a better word, emails, suggesting I sell to him. Finally after several days he quit. This is the same guy. All I can say is, it is no laughing matter; this is serious. He is advertising with false pretense; I have emailed the advertising host and informed them as well; so will see what happens.

- February 13, 2013, 11:03:22 AMGood info. The only problem for me is I live in a town of 10,000 people and own the one and only '99 1500 Drifter I have seen in three years. Most people know me and where I live. Now they know my bike. I guess it's the problem when you own a rare bike. But not to worry. Here's a picture of my guard dog Rex just in case anyone stops by to take a spin on my bike. "Here Rex old pal." "Good boy, now bring me that man's leg."

- February 13, 2013, 10:17:18 AMHi all; thought I should post this info; I did a bit yesterday in another post as well. If you post pics of your bike, ( and we all like to share them, I know, I do too) make sure your license plate is covered or removed. I found a pic of my Drifter online yesterday, being used in an ad by someone in the SFBay area. If the license plate is visible in a pic, anyone viewing the pic can find out where you live from that and the risk of your bike being stolen increases dramatically. Just a heads up. 
Regards and such,
