I don't know about other areas, but Chicago's craigslist has some really bad grammar errors on some adds. I was rolling on the floor after reading this ad:

selling my 2002 kawasaki zx7r has a little more then 17xxx miles runs great fires right up, bike is super clean and has never been down very fast bike...want to trade only for a ford mustang notchback v8 or a 1996-1998 ford mustang gt 5 speed or 01 and up yamaha r6 or 01 and up suzuki gsxr or older boober motorcycle or harley davidson bike asking $4500 clean clear title in hand


I've been in the marker for an 'old boober motorcycle' for quite some time now

I like newer boobers, the older ones are too difficult to set the sag.

Then again, an older boober with enough suspension work handles pretty well too.

Now that ain't right! You need to apologize to the unfortunate ones in bad places!

in the guy's defense.. craigslist crams all your sentences together. so if he typed the ad on multiple lines then didn't pay attention to the preview screen - it would be easy to lack some necessary grammar.

BUT there's no excuse for boober

Hope he finds what he is looking for, as lots of guys want to get their hands on them.

Not familar with newer boobers, do they results in stiffer suspensions?

From my experience, yes, the newer boobers ride a little higher off the ground than the older boobers.

Older boobers can be handled nicely if they have been upgraded. ; )

I don't discriminate between boobers... I'm just a fan in general and will ride any of them.

Here is one: http://cosprings.craigslist.org/mcy/1099782675.htm l

I wonder what SC3 is. I guess Buell is part of the Harley race series.

Here is another one. I do not know what you guys think "completely restored" means but this is not it.

Good lord, they're everywhere!. I think there needs to be a thread dedicated as a depository of troglodyte craigslist postings.

The "05 gs500f full parts bike black" must have been written in Engrish.
