My 86' is not MINT and it is NOT FOR SALE!!!

My buddy, Jimmy Mac, scours Craigslist and every Friday posts an ad that has the words "ran when parked" in it. He finds some cool stuff and some stuff that looks like it has been living in a koi pond.

This thing is the same. What I don't understand are the guys who bid it up to over $3k the last time ... or a bike that looks good from the right, has low miles as long as the odometer hasn't been changed, and has an engine that has just a good of a chance of being crap as it does of being cherry.

I think this is a case of a guy wanting a "cause", something to get wound up about. My bike is worth $5k and not a penny less. He seems to be a drama queen looking to hold court.

I think the thing is worth $1200 and a bottle of Midol. 

p.s. I talked to my girlfriend about this and her first response was to ask why the guy didn't just buy a battery and get the carbs cleaned... and then offer a bike that ran. Out of the mouth of a babe comes great wisdom.
