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. |

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. http://cosprings.craigslist.org/mcy/1077994044.htm l |

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. |
