Why do I keep looking at craigslist for bikes when I am not even on the market?

Hi, my name's Marcel

And I'm addicted to Craigslist...i check it every day. I have it as a app on my Yahoo toolbar. 1 click and I'm in my local motorcycle section. I even go to searchtempest to look for things in my entire state with the ease of going to 1 site. I cant afford a single thing on there. Why do I look?  I know I have a problem, my wife tells me all the time. Is there hope for me?

It pays off too looking here and there.  One day I decided to search for baxley.  Those stands are never on there but what the hell I was bored.  Scored a used once baxley sport chock for $125 local
2007 Ducati Monster S4RT
2006 Ducati Monster S2R800 Dark [sold]

Raux

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

I keep looking for a clean stock CB750, that hasn't been "chopped". GP motorcycles has a pre - 1980 ride every year and I need something to take that ride on. Of course there is always the money issue

it's the old "have to buy a new tool" problem in another form...
Check out my oil filter forensics thread!                     Offended? Click here
"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I too am addicted to Craigslist.  Which is extra dumb, because there will be no cash for more motorcycles until I: fix the one I have, pay off the other one, pay off my credit card, pay for a wedding, and probably a move across the country.  So, next bike in five years?

I can't view the page without registering...  ???

If it has blinkers and mirrors, it can be.  They were originally street bikes, but most are converted to track use, like mine...

Is there any other way to view the thread without creating an account?

I was thinking it was pricey too but never looked for them before so no idea of what they typically go for.
It's a white bike with a lucky strike design.

Omg - That can't be real.  I saw the post.  If it is legit, it is probably sold in 10 minutes.
My guess is that It probably is a scam.
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike
