    As you know my older brother is pretty ill and will never be able to walk again or without the aid of a walker. So I have been trying to sell his 99 Roadking. I put a add in Craigslist and cannot believe the number of scams I get from A-holes wanting to try and scam me out of his bike. Lots and lots of I'm on a ship and will send my agent, or send me you PayPal account info. It's just Unbealivable the dishonesty that goes on in this country. I guess I'll have to advertise it on a pay site.

    I should have read my post before posting it, :rolleyes: words all run together, dang iPad. Yea the guy came and looked at it. Good god when he and his partner got out of the truck they drove up in they was pretty scary looking. Yea never know anymore especially off of Craigslist. So slipped the 380 auto in the front pocket and went out. One guys was big and burley the other one had no front teeth and looked like he had been rode hard. The other guy like I said was pretty big and looked like a bouncer at a bad bar.

    :roflmao: They turned out to be pretty nice guys. He said after looking at it, I want it. Told him don't you want me to start it first, oh yea he says might be a good idea.:rolleyes: so I start it and of course she purrs like a kitten snuggling up for a good nights sleep. He whips out 100 dollar bills and starts counting out. I asked him as he was getting ready if he had riding gear, yup got my jean jacket, helmet. I asked him you riding it home in them slippers. The big guy says helll yea that's the way we ride, house slippers. He says yea know when yea get older bending over to tie your shoes yea can't breath. Yea bend over and tie one shoe and you come up gasping for air. Not making this sheet up either. Ask maddog he showed up to. So he says we go everywhere in our slippers and off he went wearing his soft sole sueade slippers.:D Got a text message from him later and said Love It. Happy buyer and happy seller.:D

    Sold
