I've had my eye on a motorcycle for a while (Craigslist), and have been hemming and hawing about whether or not to get it. Finally pulled the trigger and contacted the seller, and just missed it! It looked like a great specimen of a hard-to-find model that I owned before and miss, and I blew it. Sometimes it sucks to be a moron.
Maybe you're like me. I hem and haw until the thing sells so I don't have to go buy it. [Coffee]
Been there, done that! Missed the V-Max I wanted by 5 min one time!! [Bang] Still looking.
What are you after?
sorry to hear.... wanna go for some drinks and we could talk about it...
... as I conveniently forget my wallet at home[Coffee]
egh... bikes come and go... you'll find another one..
It's better than impulsively buying something and regretting it.
Yeah, I think that's what I was doing, right up until the end...Quote:

Everything happens fr a reason, so it must not have meant to be. Just means you will probably find a better one.
"egh... bikes come and go... you'll find another one..."
True enough...
Yep. This is what I think when I fail to respond to a CL add soon enough. Usually looking at the TP here instead....[Tooth]Quote:

The TDM, aka Tedium and totally true.
But, the best you know is the best you have ridden.

It was a fun, all-around bike. Not claiming its the best I've ridden (I've owned dozens of bikes from all genres), but it filled a niche that's tough to replace.Quote:

I went to look at a 1976 CB750, fully restored in FoCo once with my roommate. I was interested in it, but at $2300 it was a little high on my budget. Figured if it was really sweet, I'd be able to afford the little bit extra. My roommate was also looking for a CB750. I fell in love with the bike, absolutely beautiful as if it had come off the showroom floor. I called the guy on Monday after I transferred the money, to purchase it and I found out my freaking roommate bought it out from under me the day before!!
I was livid!!! He never treated it well at all, had it beaten up and knocked over on campus (had enemies), then decided to rip it down to the frame, paint everything black and turn it into a cafe racer. Granted, it does look good now its just hard to remember what it used to look like. :(
Man-Code violation! You just don't do that! What a jerk.[Rant1]Quote:
