The person claimed to be a friend of someone in the military that had limited time to search, so they were helping them. If the bike was still for sale could I send them an email asap. Sounded suspicious to me, but decided to send an email. Within half an hour I got an email from someone claiming to be in the USAF and was currently in base and couldn't use the phone for security reasons but had access to the internet.
He wanted to buy the bike for his son as a birthday present and had a long list of questions for me including whether I had a verified PayPal account. At this point I went to google and found this. Hopefully I'll get the bike sold eventually, as after 3 yrs with the Kbike, I've just never bonded with it.
It's an incredibly well designed and engineered bike, but unless ridden at lose your license speeds, it just bore's the crap out of me.
Looking forward to returning to the Guzzi world. It's alway's about the journey Wherever you go, there you are. Bikeless in Mpls. Craigslist is certainly a great resource to sell and buy things, especially MC's. However,it is fraught with scams, and potential pitfalls. Everything from people trying to get personal info, to sellers being ripped off and robbed by people who respond to ads. Surprisingly, I got more scam emails from Autotrader than CL. The scam was the same; claiming to be in the service in a remote base in Germany, no phone, wanted to use Paypal, etc.
Not sure how the theft occurs, but I didn't go forward. On CL I didn't get scammers, but just loads of people that wanted to talk, but not really act. Lots of negation, bargaining, but not ever coming to consummate the purchase. In the end sold it to a local man who saw the ad. Next day his wife came with cash, and I signed over the title. Oddly, he was getting it for his son, who was on leave from the Air Force.
