    Get your facts straight!

    http://pueblo.craigslist.org/mcy/1134405484.html

    Ha! This is funny. Found this one in Pueblo and thought oh poor guy just nada'd the wrong year since this is clearly an 07. So I emailed him and his reponse was hysterical. Though I think mine is better

    Edit....Email chain starts at the bottom

    Hi Pete,

    Thanks for your response and good luck with your sale Though it does seem strange, not to mention time consuming and expensive, to swap out or repaint all the fairings on an 08 for those from an 07. Youcould have just as easily bought an 07 for much less since the only thing that was changed from 07 to 08 were the colors.

    Thanks,
    Kristina

    Hi Pete,

    I'd be interested in taking a look even though Pueblo is quite a drive from Denver but the value of an 07 is much less than $8000 and this is definitely an 07 since silver and blue is one of the 07 color schemes.

    Thanks,
    Kristina

    It's fun to bust people trying to scam. They get all indignant. I like how his response to you was an attempt at an insult. How much more obvious can a guy get?

    Wow that guy really doesn't get it does he?

    Doesn't his original posting on craiglist say that he has to get rid of the "new" bike because of illness?

    If his son is as dumb as he says, it looks like the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

    I wasn't aware that being a dipshit was considered an illness. I wonder if I'm eligible for disability?
