Come on Kim, I'm really not too worried about that.

Thanks everyone!

Hey Fox, we were both right...The motor officers in "CHiPs" rode Kawasaki KZ-900P and KZ-1000P motorcycles. The KZ-900P, was used in season one and season two. The KZ-1000P was used from season 3. It has a different windscreen, other front fender, smaller pursuit lights and other (small) changes.

Thanks! What route do you take to get there? I'd like to avoid Interstates as much as possible.

I think the difference really matters on where it was stored (indoors versus in a garage where the temp. fluctuates).

Who's ridden this route? Any tips? Where to stay around there? Where to eat, etc.? How long does it take to get there? Thinking of heading down there this summer and wanted the 411.

They rode Kawasaki 900s. I am so there!

Like KruelHouse stated, they will give you temporary tags for their state as well as title. If you are financing it, then they will send you a non-negotiable title, which will allow you to register it here in Ohio. Just make sure that you don't pay taxes in both states.

Welcome! Have a co-worker selling a sport bike. I will ask him what it is and let you know.

Welcome!!

My vote is scam too. Notice how he refers to it as "the" bike so many times. Just sounds odd. On a positive note, I did end up selling my 03 Shadow and it was from Craigslist, so it isn't a bad thing once you sort through the bullshit.

These are actual comments made by West Virginia Troopers that were taken off their car videos: 1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through.." 2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new They'll stretch after you wear them a while" 3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." (My Favorite) 4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired." 5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you." (LOVE IT) 6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?" 7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?" 8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket." 9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?" 10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey poop." 11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven." 12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC." ( National Crime Information Center ) 13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?" 14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can." 15. "I'm glad to hear that the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail." AND THE WINNER IS.... 16. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

Got her sold this weekend!

Glad you enjoyed it, RC. May actually have a "real" buyer coming to look at it tomorrow. This after some dude offered me $1800 and another a 96 Camaro convertible as a trade.

Yes, sir!

Here's the latest from another genius, "Just one question.... do you get a lot of pu**y with that bike??? if you do, I'll take it. Let me know" Again, I go back to my comment about the 16 year kid that has way too much time on his hands. As well as other things in his hands.

Well, I figured that there would be someone trying to get the deal of the century by lowballing it or better yet, some 16 year old kid wanting to trade his older sister's underpants and his Star Wars action figure collection for it. I guess I expect too much out of people even after years of being in the line of work I am.

Well, maybe I am dumber than I thought because the first e-mail simply asked if the bike was still for sale, which seemed like a legit question. Thanks for the advice!

So, reluctantly, I decided to put my bike on Craigslist. Here's the first e-mail I get within 2 hours. Gee, how stupid does this guy think I am??? "Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buy it now but i am not in town at the moment as i am a marine engineer manager and due to the nature of my work, It hard to make a phone calls and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding it. I really want it to be a surprise for my dad so i wont let him know anything about it until it gets delivered to him, i am sure he will be more than happy with it. I insisted on paypal because i don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the price so i can make the payments asap for it and please if you don't have paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to www.paypal.com and get it set up, after you have set it up i will only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick it after i have made the payments... Thanks." My response was probably too nice, "I'm sorry, but I'm not comfortable conducting business in this manner as it reeks of a scam. Good luck in your search."

Pictures of the bike.

If you sold Bike #1, you technically can't renew it because the VIN is now registered to the new owner. So, the tag is technically not expired because it's not on anything. So, when you get the new bike, either take that old tag in (if it has sentimental value or something) or just let them issue you a new one as it is going to cost you about the same either way. The late fee shouldn't apply since it wasn't on anything.

Parking lots are privately owned, so it's not illegal per se, but they can tow you if they want. So, you take your chances when you park within the lines. Many companies designate certain parking areas for bikes only, so you just have to look.

Welcome!
