Hilarious!

Horrible pics though, that's laughable for a high zoot bike.

Eh, it's pretty much stolen from a Craigslist car ad. I forget what the original car was, but the rest of the copy is ... a copy.

Hey at least shipping is only $19.95. Ad is ridiculous to say the least.

Well, the guy plagiarized. Still think the original ad is damn clever. You should monetize your obsessive researching skills
