    so i never heard back from those people of course

    but i have a new proposition as of today and i didnt want to start a whole thing about it

    but my friend recently acquired a maybe 2002 yamaha ttr125 for $800. well that was like a week ago and so it has barely been ridden its in good shape with an electric start and now he needs money so he called me and asked if i wanted it for $700

    what would you dirt bike gurus do?

    What are you wanting to use it for? Because they have little power compared to bigger bikes. Plus they're pretty small, depending on how tall you are.

    why? i really liked my friends ttr90.

    hahaha jeeze what a scam! i cant believe people fall for that kinda stuff. nothing is free

    I am in Nebraska and work for a newspaper and just got this ad for the "free Bike" I knew it was off and searched and came across this. Thank you for posting it so I could confirm my doubts. I replied to them, nothing yet. Thank you again!!!

    Sad people pull this crap so often!

    Dear Mr. Gank,
    So, Im sure I wont get a reply back from you but, lets get real here....I searched your name on google and came up with many ads from all over the country. Thanks for this spam, I am not sure what you really intend to get from this ad? What is the scam?
    Do you charge people "postage for the bike to be shipped from Hawaii"?
    Do you take info like credit card numbers?

    Please, enlighten me on the process you and other scamers take with BS like this.

    We are a REAL newspaper and will not deal with crap like this. Take it somewhere else, just know I will share this e-mail and let people know this is clearly a scam.

    You may need to try something different, if you have been pulling this crap for 2.5 years and I could smell it all over you. How many times are you successful? Maybe just get a new email, maybe not try the whole..."My son's sudden death" card. Seems, his sudden death happened oh what, 2 and a half years ago? Still so sudden and still cant unload this mystery bike. Weird.

    I will close with this little note you sent to another last year.

    Cheers asshole.


    Thanks for the email , Yes your brother can pick up the bike there , But we are sorry to inform you that we will like to take something out of the bike , We asking for just 1,500 for the bike , We need it for our movement to canada.

    Please email me back when you got this so we can know your decision.

    Jane and Robert.
