"Everything is original."

“Moving - must sell.”

"Wife says it's her or the bike"

I've seen that plenty of times, and it was part of the description in the Craig's ad for my Bonneville. I thought it was a snarky joke, until I showed up and the owner was apologizing that it wasn't ready yet. Seems his wife was so upset about the motorcycle that she had been using it as a drying rack. He was quickly pulling damp laundry off of it before he rolled it out onto his driveway for my inspection.

Asking top dollar for a bike with high miles: "These engines have been known to go for 100,000 miles." There's that benchmark, again.

“Moving - must sell.”

Or, "Moving, everything must go."

These quips are interesting because this almost seems to imply a give-away deal. Approach with extra care.
