    You're wise to be cautious. But not everything on craigslist is a scam or is going to give you crotch rot *casual encounters cough cough*. Hope it all works out!

    Not uncommon to see bikes with 5K miles on them with the owner thinking that is a LOT of miles.

    It's cause most of us in the CSC are crazy and ride all the time. Most bike owners think 2k a year is a lot of miles LOL.

    Or my ERC class in Michigan. Harley dudes thought 100 miles a day and a 2-3 day trip was a lot of miles. Came my turn to speak, and I said 800 miles a day with a road trip being 3K miles they all dropped their jaw....LOL

    My father in-law has a 1997 Harley Fat Boy with original tires and if I had to guess 1,000 miles on it. Some people just don't ride...LOL His Idea is every few years ride it around the lake...which is maybe at most 15 miles. hmmm the 1,000 mile figure might be giving him a lot of credit.....LOL

    What happened to the deal Swift? Thought I'd ask here instead of the sale thread.

    Re: My scam radar is going off

    Trade blew up. Guy I guess didn't wanna swap his on mine because of the mileage mine has. Whatever, it's a blessing in disguise I guess. I wasn't really looking forward to jumping up to an R1 after this bike anyway because I would be filling sand bags from the shit pouring from my vajayjay.

    I'll just hold on to mine, pay it off, and swap it on something else next season.
