Title: maybe someone can help her out... Post by Bubba on 05/12/11 at 11:43:20 Not sure if this is real or not... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/mcy/2374347835.html |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by engineer on 05/12/11 at 12:05:27 When you arrive with your tools to fix her bike a guy will jump out from behind the bushes and steal your car, tools, credit cards, wallet, money, identity and your clothes and leave you to find your way home on that broken down Savage. Seriously, why would she include the picture. Answer: to attract men. So even if she is legit she wouldn't be above manipulation. On the other hand she is cute. So if you're looking for a girl friend maybe it is worth a shot. |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by Bubba on 05/12/11 at 12:13:03 Probably...I live no where near LA (and I'm happily married already!)but I sent her a reply with a suggestion she look up this forum. If it's legit then she can get all the knowledge she needs from here... |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by babyhog on 05/12/11 at 12:38:23 Wouldn't a picture of her on the bike been better? Good job Bubba, maybe several of us should do the same. |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by Bubba on 05/12/11 at 12:45:05 yeah a picture on the bike would have been better...I'm such a sucker for sob stories tho' Funny thing is, I sometimes search different cities on craigslist for savages ever since I got such a smoking deal on the last one. Usually I search places where I know people so I can tell them to go snacth up the bike...if their looking anyway... |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/12/11 at 12:49:52 Id go. I take a few friends & let them out a block down the road,,,let them walk up a few minutes later.. |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by Bubba on 05/13/11 at 07:12:12 She contacted me. It's ligitimate. She is just someone looking for a hand...no harm in trying. Versy, you should try and make her a convert! She's tslking about the Honda Magna as her dream bike...at least she knows they are a PITA to work on...I think she may have buyers remorse on our little scoot... :) |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by verslagen1 on 05/13/11 at 08:37:47 Yes, we're in touch, trying to negociate a meet time. |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by babyhog on 05/13/11 at 09:13:09 Guess the picture worked ;D ;) Let us know how it goes... |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by Millions on 05/19/11 at 21:44:30 Hi all. I'm "The Lady" in need of help. nic name Millions or Millie ... no really, it's my real nic name ;) no scam here, though I totally understand the suspicions. It's a cruel cruel world... sniff sniff. nuff said. Looking forward to seeing what I can learn on the forum here... generally appreciative of any advice... ie. is there a better tape for holding the headlamp on besides mail tape? Is it really true I could just glue the plastic housing as a real fix {they want over $100 for a new one}. I should post a pic of how I've taped in on. It'd be good for a laugh. cheers |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by verslagen1 on 05/19/11 at 22:10:43 Hi millie, tried to contact you, guess it didn't work out. How bad is it broken? Cracks at the base or completely broken off? Depending on what look you want once it's fixed there are a number of ways to go. Aluminum tape if you wanted it shiney (somewhat). Fiberglass it and paint it black. But a more durable replacement would be a Harley type bottom mount for around $50. |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by youzguyz on 05/20/11 at 02:14:50 I used the "Metal" epoxy putty to fix mine (after trying tape, regular epoxy, JB Weld, etc). Works pretty darn good. Also used it to fix the back bracket on my gas tank and the license plate mount on the back fender. Not real pretty (it's black), but it holds well! Just make sure you rough up the surfaces where it will be sticking. Best bet is to sand off all the chrome coating. You can always put that shiny tape on it when all is done. Oh.. and welcome to the board! Lots of nice and knowledgeable people here. A few eccentrics ::) |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by Bubba on 05/20/11 at 06:46:38 Yeah Millions! You will find a wealth of info here. Glad you and Versy are in touch. If anyone can get that bike solid it's Versy. Welcome to the forum... :) |

Title: Re: maybe someone can help her out... Post by verslagen1 on 05/21/11 at 17:51:51 Millie and I met up and I at least got her headlight fixed up with one that I've replaced off of mine. I'm sure you guys know the drill... she took it to the dealer complaining of an oil leak and she gets a laundry list of everything not up to brand new status right up to piston rings. I don't think dealers understand us. If we wanted brand new, we would've gotten brand new. I say it leaks, that's what I want fixed. She's a bright enthusiastic long time rider and it was a joy to help her out. |
