Sounds like he maybe got himself a debilitating brain injury.

I cant even tell what it is he's selling. A 2006 bike of some sort, but what?

And if this is a consequence of his having ridden the bike I am having serious doubts as to how much is left of it...

If he crashed it hard enough to have that much brain bamage the bike is not worth 3k.

2006 limited edition [unspecified motorcycle], hardly ridden for sale at the low low sum of $3000.

Ridden very little. The ad poster fell and got hurt somehow so he cannot ride motorcycles now. Come see it because it's the lowest price anywhere around for a "new bike" (although I do not understand how a previously owned item is new. Once it leaves the dealership and has been ridden, is not new. Therefore, seller is a liar). He is firm on price (probably because it's priced too high). He once more reiterates the fake newness of bike. He is willing to trade for an unspecified vehicle (presumably not a motorcycle) and cash. If you will send pictures of your trade vehicle offering by cellular telephone, he will send you pictures of his limited edition with his cellular handset and negotiations can commence.

Sounds like a real scholar to me...

How can a 6-7 year old motorcycle be considered "New"?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Beat me to it - and you're exactly right!  I disagree with helmet laws, but if you're going to ride like this guy must have, wear one!

This made me laugh way, way harder than it should have. You might have a second career there bud...translating indecipherable CL ads for Yankees in Southern states, maybe providing on site translation as well to help the transaction go smoothly and help interpret local customs. I mean all those '89 Camaro's aren't going to sell themselves...
