A PERSON DEPENDING WHICH STATE THEIR END CAN GET A BONDED TITLE ON IT OR ITS GREAT FOR SHIPPING OVER SEAS ???
i'm a naturally suspicious person, and this one has me screaming stay away.
first it is in all caps? not sure if the rest of the ads were in all caps but that's just nasty.
second it's written poorly. phrases like "which state their end" are just horrid. "which state they are in" or "they're in" sure, but i question the legitimacy of it for the same reason i laugh at those nigerian bank scam emails.
third it's been flooded in Florida, and the seller makes a point to say "not katrina" does that make a difference? flooded for 10 months or 10 days still makes it flood damaged.
fourth, it was supposedly bought with a salvage certificate, not sure the laws in your area, but in some places when it's written off for insurance it isn't supposed to enter back in to the system so licensing, insuring, registering, and all of those things become so difficult as to be another huge warning sign.
Unless you are an amazing wrencher and do-it-yourselfer, i would stay WAY far away from this bike.
You cant ever blame the add for a newspapaers screw up when it comes to penmenship. I have put adds in the paper and they have screwed up half the letters making there into their or there into theer. However salvageable means pain in the arse have to go through safety check hell
true enough ofblong on the penmenship, it's just part of a great line of things that make me wary. An ad doesn't have to be written by Hemingway or anything like that, but as a total package this ad scares me heh.

FOr a start I would guess its a harley becouse its says it has a suiside shift, Not a beginer bike, because its gonna be a Harley definately not the a easy bike to learn to ride on...
i'd be wary unless you are close enough to see it in person before you put up a deposit or something like that through ebay. Someone recently posted about getting burned because he put up his deposit and then went to pick up the bike and the photos were taken in such a way that they didn't show some of the extra damage and such.
as with any auction or classified ad, Buyer Beware

After that, I'd pass on any ebay bike unless I, or someone I trusted could check it out first.
Photos can be taken from angles and in small sizes to hide damage. Or they could simply be pre-damage photos.
I'd talked to the guy on the phone a couple times and he seemed reasonable and honest about the bike. Just shows you simply can't tell unless you, or your trusted proxy, sees it in person.
