Here is a gift for some lucky person in the NY area

[JimL]

If I could have flown in to LGA picked this up and been back to Nashville in time for work Monday, I would have owned this bike.  Hopefully one of you guys in the NY area can take advantage of this persons generosity!

HS what a smokin' deal. If I needed another valk I'd be all over this one.

I can't believe the post is still up at that price.

Too bad its not a red and white 97.

She who must usually be obeyed says no more room in garage, what with the
valk the beemer  the trailer,snowblower lawn mower and power washer takin up all available room


Jim fly up anyways  and get it  you can store it in my side yard till you can ride her home under my Valk cover


If not a scam that is a damn fine price

so what if only ridden less than a thousand miles a year

Thanks for the offer Oss, I really appreciate it.  

I was within inches of booking a flight to LGA picking it up and taking the ferry from Orient to New London, CT and dropping it off at my in-laws.  

I guess I'm starting to feel my age when the thought of the fatigue outweighs the thrill of the motorcycle!!

The CraigsList posting is gone - I'm curious now, was it a '98 for $2800 or so? If so, it's a scam - see my posting here, it's number 6:

Ad Posting

And a great (scam) in Hawaii... Another Valk

If it's NOT the same, as Rosanna said, Never mind....

Just want to make sure that the scam info gets out there...

I don't think this one was a scam.  You are correct the posting is no longer there, however the same bike has been reposted for $2,000 more just 50 miles further east on Long Island.

One of two things happened:

(1) The original seller realized that he was selling the bike too low

or

(2) The most likely scenario is that someone on Long Island is about to make a 50% profit on their investment from the previous day!

It is still a decent buy at 6K.................

You're right - very nice looking! Sure like the tourer, I'm still looking for affordable bags. Probably end up with the Tsukayu's - they look pretty nice for the money, especially since "stock" seem to go for over a grand.

Again, just want everyone aware of scams - most people would possibly trust an escrow, so it's conceivable that maybe 1 out of 1000 would jump on a "too good to be true" deal, and 10,000 see it, that's still $28,000, almost overnight.
