and I don't know what hurts more, the fact that this intact bike has already been stripped down and is being
parted out or the fact that it looks nicer and way more complete than the basket case that I started with. I
wonder if he tried selling it whole before parting it out. Something tells me no...

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
There are a lot of not-very-friendly posts on this forum of the salvagers in northern Ohio.

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
Being that seller is an extremely immature crook that does not stand by his words and doesn't take being a seller on Ebay with any responsibility. It's hard, what to believe. Be very aware, that there are several accounts for the same seller out of the same region.

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
Hmmm hes back at his old tricks again, believe nothing he says and buy nothing from him. A less than honest Ebayer who has at least six aliases, all with way less than average feedback.
Two strokes, its just that simple.

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
Wow... I had no idea. I wasn't going to send any business just because I didn't want to encourage the needless dismantling of what appear to be a pretty decent, complete Titan. Any idea of the other aliases? Just so that we may avoid being hooked?

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
He kind of disappeared for a few to several months after being very consistent for a few years. You guys may remember going back further ?

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
A few years ago someone near me lost his job & sold a really nice restored GT250.
I thought about buying it but didn't.
Some time later the Ohio salvagers parted out at GT250.
Looked like they used the same pics that the PO used to sell his resorted bike.
This is what I wrote at the time:

Re: Ouch, this hurts...
+1 No +22 RedZone is leaving in about an hour and I already want another one (GT550). I think I know where a 74 is. Just might look in to it.Perhaps those of us that can should try to save some of the nice bikes even if we don't really need them.
