Sadly Craigslist does not do a great job of furnishing hi-res images. if i blow that up to the size of a page it will look awful. i checked.

Particularly if the owner's wife is pressuring the one with the crisis to sell.
Amen Gone.
You might be a silent voice of many.

CB1100: Owner was stressing over selling it, wife was nagging that he just stared at it in the garage while he was lifting weights
Bonneville: Owner bought his-and-hers Triumphs thinking it would be great if they both started riding. He had already sold one of them, mine was being used as a laundry drying rack in their garage when I showed up to look at it.
Interceptor: Owner bought it because it was pretty, and an RE dealer had just opened nearby.
In all three cases, there was a wife standing in the background, arms crossed, staring intently as the purchases took place.

Some spouses are far smarter than arm crossing:
" ... get it luv. xoxo" (but you owe me)

We have a "No More Things With Wheels" policy in our house. Makes sense. We only have enough room for a limited number of vehicles, and I don't have the energy to take care of, or pay tags and insurance for more than what we've got. Mrs. G is still "bike-curious", and if I declare that I'll be selling a bike to buy something else, she likes to be involved to the point of checking out what I want to buy, maybe sitting on a new version of it in the showroom and flipping the switches, saying it's a pretty color.
Sort of like when she wants to add to her huge menagerie of plants. We'll go to the nursery, I'll take a look, say "Ooh, that's pretty"... I know that I am there merely as labor to carry said plant to the car and load it in, but I am sort of interested.
And, we both have our little financial victories in the expenses involved in our hobbies. We celebrate when I sell a motorcycle part that's no longer needed, or when she sneaks a cutting for what would be a very expensive plant and cultivates it.

Good to have a fair policy. Keeps the happiness in place and to enjoy the machines at hand.

Definitely not, pdedse, but thanks for asking.

This is as good a place as any to post this. Come on now, you know you want it. This may be your last chance to get one. Not mine, but boy, wouldn't it be fun to roll up to Starbucks on this?
