I have to say, I can't complain. It's because of these losers that I got my motorcycle for free.
A guy had an '03 Suzuki Bandit 600 for sale that I was interested in. I called him up, and as it turned out we knew each other from a previous job. We had a great conversation, but as it turned out later, I didn't want the bike. It was getting close to Christmas so I changed priorities. He called me about two weeks later offering a super low price, but I graciously declined.
The thing was, as the price got lower, he got more and more calls from what we call "Kijiji Flakes" (we don't use Craigslist as much here). "Dude, do NOT sell that bike, I'll be there to buy it". Then a no show,, another no show, some idiot offering stupid low, stuff like that. He called me up in frustration and asked if I wanted to just come over and take it. He had sold everything else and was leaving town for a new job way up north. I was there the next morning with a truck and trailer. I gave him 100.00 and a bottle of Scotch as a token of my appreciation and the bike is the most fun that I can have on wheels.
