There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Lamont, If you don'tget your money soon and decide to pass on this great bargain, let me know because a rich relative in Costa Rica has left me a whole bunch of money and I should be getting it "momentarily". :roflblack:
WHAT??? :shocked:

I've seen this kind of thing dozens of times. Easiest way to call their bluff is to tell them you have family near the city listed and you'll just have them stop by with CASH and pick the bike up. I mean-- who wouldn't want CASH?
When they tell you it's actually in some other city (and they WILL tell you this) -- tell them you have another relative there!

Definately a scam on the bike--all the tell tale warning signs. Are you other guys trying to scare me about the money I got coming from Nigeria? They were such nice people---Im just waiting for my bank account information to clear with them.
I was selling my motorcoach on RV Trader and got an email from a scammer. He went so far as to send me a certified check for $10,000 as a down payment. I smelled a rat and told my banker that I thought the certified check and buyer were trying to con me. The banker said he would watch for the check to clear and to not do anything for about thirty days.
Within a week, of the check being deposited, the scammer called and said he had a transport company coming to look at my motorcoach and he asked me to give the transporter a check for five thousand dollars for them to pick the coach up and he would pay me back when he closed on the sale. I said not until his certified check cleared through my bank.
Well, guess what... big surprise! I told him I would call him back when his check actually cleared the bank...The check bounced and was taken back out of my account. I called the scammer back and told him to meet me at a local Starbucks to pick up the $5,000 cash.
Of course, I did not show up. I don't know if he did show or not. If he did show up... he got conned. I never got another call or email back from him.
Sold the motorcoach the next week to a real cash buyer. The legitimate buyer wire transferred the money into my bank and my bank called to let me know he had transferred the cash. Any time you feel like you are being conned, you probably are.
Trust your instincts and never turn over a vehicle, motorcycle until you have real cash in hand or a legitimate wire transfer into your bank account. Certified checks are now a pretty common document that scammers use.

I know a guy who bought a 1800 Gold Wing at a good price. Several offered to look at it first, but the price was below book and time was short. Excellent condistion, of course.
Only a minor problem when it was received. It looked like last person to shine it up, used a very coarse steel wool and a buffer. Paint and chrome.
I did not consider it a good deal at all. I can not print the guy who bought it said.

I'm not sure about that. Even cash may not be cash these days. Bank wire transfer or Western Union are pretty sure methods.
